It took me a long time to find my way back.

And when I did, I couldn’t stop asking one question.

Was it just me?

Or are there other capable, committed, intelligent women sitting in their own version of that parking lot…
wondering what is happening to them,
wondering who they are becoming?

The answer is millions.

27 million women in the United States are navigating perimenopause or menopause right now.

Most of them have never been told what is happening in their brains.
Most of them are coming to the same conclusion I once did.

That something is wrong with them.

But nothing is wrong with them.

They were never given the explanation they needed for something completely biological.

And that is what I have dedicated my work to changing.

She does not come in saying she is burned out. She comes in saying she is tired even after sleeping, more sensitive to noise, and mentally slower than usual. Work is still going well, so she assumes it is nothing serious.

Clinically, this is often the earliest phase. The body begins compensating long before emotional disengagement or performance decline appears. The nervous system remains activated, and the brain quietly conserves energy by narrowing cognitive output.

Nothing is failing. The system is adapting in response to sustained demand.

This is the stage where intervention is most effective.

Save for reference. Share professionally.

Tomorrow, I will be speaking at the HBA Global Ascension Leadership Experience, where leaders across healthcare and life sciences come together to shape the future of work.

This experience brings together bold thinking, real-world leadership insight, and meaningful connection across the industry. It is not just about ideas, but about how we lead forward with clarity, resilience, and impact.

If you are thinking about where healthcare leadership is heading, and how to be part of that conversation, this is a space worth being in.

📍 April 23 to 24, 2026
📍 San Diego, CA

I’d love to see you there. You can register here:

This perspective raises an important question about how we are talking about perimenopause and the role of hormones in women’s health.

There has been a tendency to position hormones as the explanation, and sometimes even the solution, for a wide range of symptoms. That kind of oversimplification is worth examining.

At the same time, questioning that narrative should not lead us to dismiss what women are actually experiencing during this transition.

The reality is more nuanced. Hormonal changes are part of the picture, but they are not the whole story, and women’s experiences cannot be reduced to a single explanation.

A more balanced, evidence-informed approach is needed so that we are neither over-attributing nor overlooking what is happening.

Would be interested to hear how you see this.

There’s no question that hormonal changes during perimenopause are real and impactful. But not every shift a woman experiences in midlife can or should be explained through that lens alone.

Aging and perimenopause are happening at the same time, yet we often collapse everything into one narrative. And when that happens, we risk reducing a complex experience into something overly narrow.

The concern is not awareness, it’s interpretation.

Because when the message becomes “your hormones are in control,” it can unintentionally remove a sense of agency, even from highly capable, informed women.

The question is not whether symptoms are valid, but whether we are framing them in a way that truly supports women.

I’m curious, how do you see this conversation evolving? Comment down below.

Part 2 of this conversation continues tomorrow, same time.

The women I speak to are already informed, capable, and deeply aware. They understand the menopause transition far more than they’re often given credit for. But awareness alone doesn’t change how work is structured or how expectations are set.

The real gap is the absence of systems that allow that knowledge to be applied in a sustainable way.

So what happens? Burnout becomes normalized. Energy fluctuations are pushed aside. And support stays at the level of conversation, without translating into meaningful change.

This is why the experience feels so disconnected, even for high-performing women.

Not because they’re missing something, but because the environment around them hasn’t caught up.

I’m curious, what do you feel is still missing? Comment down below

I quit a job I loved.

I was still performing.
My boss wanted me to stay.

But I had nothing left in me.
And I didn’t trust myself to keep showing up the way I always had.

So I left.

At the time, I thought it was just me.

What I didn’t know, and what no one told me, is that what I was experiencing was temporary.
Treatable.
Reversible.

If I had known that, I would have stayed.

And that’s the part that stays with me.

Because every day, women like me are making the same decision.
Not because they want to leave,
but because no one gave them the information that could have helped them stay.

Nothing was wrong with them.

The system simply didn’t explain what was happening.

What would have changed for you if you had the right information at the right time?

9 days to go before I speak at the 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 2026 Annual Conference in Long Beach.

On April 24, I will be discussing why women face a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease and how clinicians can better distinguish early- vs. late-onset presentations using modern diagnostics.

On April 25, I will be covering how medications, supplements, metabolism, and the microbiome influence cognition through the gut–brain connection.

If you’ll be there, let’s talk.

Midlife health is the foundation of women’s leadership.

Because if you don’t have your health…
It becomes harder to pursue the goals you want.
To build the wealth you want.
To leave the legacy you want.

There’s a real disadvantage when your brain and body are changing,
and you’re not given the knowledge or support to navigate it.

But imagine the opposite.

Imagine knowing what to expect.
When to act.
How to act.

Imagine being fully supported through that transition.

How different would your career look if your health were fully supported?

In the second half of the night, your body enters its most restorative phase. This is when REM sleep is longer, your brain processes memory and emotion, and your cardiovascular system finally slows down and recovers.

It’s the only time your system is truly at rest.

But a hot flash during this window does the opposite. Instead of recovery, your body shifts into activation. Heart rate rises, blood pressure increases, and the system is interrupted.

And the hardest part is, you may not even be aware it’s happening.

So it’s not just a disruption, it’s an interruption of the most critical recovery period your body has.

That’s why it’s not something to dismiss as just a symptom or a nuisance. It’s something you need to understand.

If you’ve been experiencing unexplained fatigue or poor sleep, send me a DM. Let’s talk about what your body may be going through.

Five years ago, I sat in a parking lot and couldn’t get out of my car.

I was 48. Newly menopausal. Fresh out of medical school. A single mother. And completely empty.

I thought I understood burnout. I even knew the clinical definition.
But something didn’t fit.

I wasn’t cynical. I loved my work.
What I had lost was something else entirely.

What I was never taught, and had to figure out on my own,
Is that menopause doesn’t begin with the end of your periods.

It begins in the brain.

And once I understood that, everything changed.

Have you ever wondered if what you’re feeling is really burnout… or something else?

Most leaders don’t burn out overnight.
They disappear quietly.

They keep delivering.
They stop reflecting.
They rely on systems instead of judgment.

From the outside, performance looks intact.
Inside, decision space has narrowed.

This is the stage where leaders begin managing output instead of direction.
Not because they lack skill, but because capacity is being stretched thin.

This phase isn’t failure.
It’s an early leadership signal.

Recognizing it early preserves judgment, not just energy.

Save for reference. Share with leaders you trust.
