No, menopause isn’t a disease. But the way it hits your system? It can feel like everything crashes at once. Brain fog, sleep disruption, mood swings, relationship strain… this is more than just a “life transition.”
Let’s stop minimizing what women go through and start calling it what it is. A major hormonal shift that deserves real support.
Follow along if this hits home.

The biggest myth in perimenopause? That you have to suffer in silence until you’ve “earned” the right to feel better. 🩷

You deserve to feel good now.

Are you feeling confused, frustrated, or just plain gaslit? Your doctor says your labs are "normal" and you're not in perimenopause, but you know something’s changed. Mood swings, sleep struggles, weight gain, brain fog… you’re not imagining it.
Let me save you a trip. Based on your symptoms, I’m officially diagnosing you with PERIMENOPAUSE. I'll tell you all about it in my new book coming out called The Perimenopause Survival Guide!
You deserve to be believed. You deserve answers. You deserve support.

Having an opinion in medicine doesn’t make you reckless. It makes you brave.
At .hirsch.academy, we are teaching clinicians to trust their training, lead with empathy, and listen to what women have been saying all along.
We didn’t over-medicalize menopause. We finally started listening.

I went around the country and I learned so much. Women truly are stronger together because they can learn from one another, inspire one another, and hold each other's hands through anything.

Back at it! Round two of The Practice Accelerator, this time in beautiful Newport Beach. ☀️🌊
What started as a dream is now a movement. The .hirsch.academy held its second in-person (and virtual) course designed to take heart-led, smart-as-hell clinicians and give them the tools to become thriving business owners so they can deliver the care their patients actually deserve.
The medical world is shifting, and we’re proud to be leading the charge. Teaching what I’ve learned over the past decade to a powerhouse group of women was nothing short of inspiring.
Thank you to my brilliant co-teachers .sottile and to every clinician who showed up ready to build, learn, and lead.
Follow .hirsch.academy to join the revolution in women’s midlife healthcare. Because awareness is not enough. It’s time for solutions.
XO,
Heather

Do all women need HRT? 🤔
Let’s break it down because one size doesn’t fit all.

Menopause isn't a one-way street with a single roadmap. It's a thousand paths, each with its own twists and turns. Some women feel stronger than ever, others feel like they're unraveling, and both are valid.
What matters most is individualized care. We don't treat symptoms in isolation or prescribe based on outdated norms. We listen. We adapt. We show up for you. Because where you are is exactly where care should begin.

I’ll never stop saying it: clinical experience > ivory tower theory.
I’ve looked into the eyes of thousands of women who are struggling and still being told they’re “fine.” You don’t need 27 hot flashes a week to qualify for help. Menopause is disruptive AF, and pretending otherwise is doing women a disservice.
You deserve better. Always.

No, not all women need to take hormone therapy. But all 50 million women deserve the real facts when it comes to the safety and efficacy of hormone therapy, not just immediate symptom relief, but for their long term health.
PERIOD.
