Hi, I’m Callie—a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), menopause-certified provider (MSCP), Colorado mountain lover, mom, and founder of Ascend Hormone Care.

I recently came across a research article that stopped me in my tracks.
Less than 8% of NIH funding goes toward women’s health research.

That means fewer studies, fewer answers, and far too many women being told “everything looks normal” when they don’t feel normal at all.

Yes—there are experts pushing for change.
But real change in research takes years… sometimes decades.

And women are struggling right now.
So what do we do in the meantime?

We educate.
Because education is power.

It’s how women begin to understand what’s happening in their bodies.
It’s how they advocate for themselves.

And it’s how we start closing the gap—today, not 10 years from now.

That’s exactly why I’ve started hosting in-person education nights.

These are relaxed, judgment-free spaces where we talk about:
• Perimenopause & menopause
• What’s actually happening in your body
• Common symptoms (and what’s not “just aging”)
• Real options for support and treatment

✨ Upcoming Education Nights:
📍 Cheyenne Wells Public Library
🗓 May 11th at 6pm

For years, women were excluded from clinical trials.
And while things have improved…
we’re still not where we need to be.

A study of over 20,000 clinical trials found that women remain underrepresented in multiple areas of medicine—even when disease burden is equal or higher.

That means a lot of what we call “evidence-based medicine”…
wasn’t always built with women in mind.

And yet, women are still expected to respond the same way.
➡️ The same medications
➡️ The same dosing
➡️ The same treatment approaches

But women are not small men.

Hormones, metabolism, symptoms, and outcomes are different—especially in perimenopause and menopause.
And that matters.

At Ascend Hormone Care, this is the foundation of how we practice:
Care that is personalized, hormone-informed, and built for women.

Nothing is “wrong.”
Your life looks good.
Stable. Full. Meaningful.

But internally? Something feels different.
Less joy.
Less energy.
Less you.

This is one of the most common ways perimenopause shows up—
and one of the least recognized.

Hormonal shifts in midlife don’t just cause hot flashes.
They impact your brain, your mood, and how you experience your life.

So if you’ve been wondering,
“Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
There may actually be an answer.



When did you first notice something felt “off”?

Just because we’re finally talking about menopause doesn’t mean the work is done.

We’re undoing decades of dismissal, misinformation, and silence.

And that takes time.

Women’s health has been underfunded for decades.

A recent report shows that less than 8% of NIH funding goes toward women’s health research.

That means fewer studies.
Fewer answers.
And more women being told “you’re fine” when they’re not.

Yes—change is coming.
Experts are calling for a complete restructuring of how we approach women’s health research.

But here’s the reality:
That change will take time.

And women are struggling now.

So until the system catches up…
our first line of defense is education.

Because when women understand their bodies,
they advocate differently.
They seek better care.
They stop accepting dismissal as an answer.

And that’s where real change begins.

I recently completed advanced training through the Heather Hirsch Academy focused on hormone therapy and gynecologic cancer survivorship—and this matters more than most women realize.

Here’s why:

There is currently no formal menopause education requirement in gynecologic oncology fellowship programs.

That means many patients finishing cancer treatment are left navigating:
• Sudden or early menopause
• Severe symptoms (often more intense than natural menopause)
• Confusing or conflicting guidance about hormone therapy
• Fear, uncertainty, and misinformation

And yet—
✨ 30–40% of gynecologic cancer survivors are pre- or perimenopausal at diagnosis
✨ Many will go on to live long, full lives after treatment
✨ Cancer-directed therapies often induce menopause abruptly

But the system isn’t built to support what comes next.

Menopause care is often fragmented, rushed, or overlooked entirely—especially when it comes to:
• S*xual health
• Mental health
• Safe, evidence-based hormone therapy options

This is why I chose to pursue additional training in:
Endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer survivorship care.

Because these women deserve more than “just get through it.”

They deserve:
✔️ Clear, evidence-based guidance
✔️ Nuanced conversations about risk vs benefit
✔️ A provider who understands both oncology and menopause

If you are a cancer survivor—or caring for one—know this:

There are safe, individualized options, and you deserve a provider who is trained to help you navigate them.

This is the level of care I’m committed to providing at Ascend Hormone Care.

9%.

That’s how many women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause are actually getting vaginal estrogen.
Not because it doesn’t work.

Not because it’s unsafe.
Because they’re scared.

And honestly? That fear makes sense when:
– There has been a black box warning
– Cancer risk is misunderstood
– Even providers feel unsure

But here’s what the evidence tells us:
Low-dose vaginal estrogen is not the same as systemic estrogen.
Systemic absorption is minimal.
And major organizations like the North American Menopause Society support its use—even in select breast cancer survivors—when symptoms are impacting quality of life.

We are withholding effective treatment from women because of outdated messaging and lack of education.
And that has to change.

If you’ve been told “you can’t use estrogen,” it’s worth having a deeper conversation—because the full story matters.

Big day over here ✨

Today marks my first day seeing patients in-person at Optimal Health Chiropractic, and I couldn’t be more excited. After building Ascend Hormone Care through telehealth, getting the opportunity to connect face-to-face and care for women in a more personal way feels incredibly special.

There’s something powerful about being in the same room, listening, educating, and walking alongside women through perimenopause and menopause—not just through a screen, but in real life.

So grateful for this opportunity and for every woman who trusts me with her care. This is just the beginning!

For decades, menopause was minimized.�Dismissed.�Or simply not talked about at all.

So when people say it’s “trending”…�it misses the point.
This isn’t a trend—it’s a shift in awareness, in advocacy, and in expectations.

Women are no longer accepting “this is just part of aging” as an answer.�They want to understand their bodies.�They want real solutions.�And they deserve providers who actually listen.

This conversation has been a long time coming—�and it’s only just getting started.

When she says she doesn’t feel like herself… this is exactly what my patients are experiencing every day.

Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes or sleep changes—it’s the quiet, confusing feeling of losing your sense of self. Not feeling like the mom, partner, daughter, or woman you know you are.

This deserves to be seen, understood, and supported. You are not alone, and it’s not ‘just a phase.’

Let’s start talking about it. Let’s start validating it. Because your experience matters.

03/25/2026

Last night was something special.

I’m so incredibly grateful for every woman who showed up, shared her story, and trusted me with such a personal part of her journey.

It was truly an honor to spend the evening educating and empowering women in midlife and menopause—because you deserve answers, support, and to feel like yourself again.

Thank you for being there, for being open, and for reminding me how powerful it is when women come together.

This is just the beginning.
