I am SO grateful for my patients. My deepest thanks to everyone on the care team who supports their well being and progress, and to every single person who trusts me with their story and their care.
A special shout out to all the surgeons surgeons, docs and menopause providers who work with me everyday to help get our patients better.

Stop Believing the Myths. Start Getting the Care You Deserve.
We’ve been told a lot of lies about perimenopause.
❌ That “brain fog” means we’re losing it.
❌ That mood shifts make us irrational.
❌ That fatigue or pain is “just part of being a woman.”
❌ That we should just push through it or ignore it.
These myths keep women suffering in silence — and they block us from getting real help.
Here’s the truth:
✨ Your brain isn’t failing.
✨ Your body isn’t betraying you.
✨ You’re not “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” or “too much.”
✨ And you’re absolutely not imagining your symptoms.
Perimenopause is a neuro-hormonal transition, not a decline.
With the right support — evidence-based hormone guidance, nervous-system regulation, sleep, breathwork, strength training, nutrition, and pelvic health care — women get sharper, stronger, calmer, and more themselves than ever.
You deserve care that sees you as wise, whole, and powerful — not fragile or “crazy.”
Let’s rewrite the narrative and get women the real support we should’ve had all along.
Let’s stop the medical gaslighting around perimenopause and menopause.

Over 70% of women get hot flashes 🔥and they don’t just stop after menopause. Your worst vasomotor symptoms can hit 4–5 years later, and they’re linked to higher risks of heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and chronic pain.
These symptoms aren’t “normal” to ignore - they’re your body asking for help. And the good news? They’re absolutely treatable. ✨

Feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just… tired? This is a short preview from my newest YouTube Members-Only practice — a nervous system reset you can do anywhere! No mat. No perfect setup. Just unwinding your hips, softening your shoulders, and using four layered breath techniques to calm stress, support vagal tone, and reconnect your voice, core, and pelvic floor.
If your body feels out of sync (hello holidays, hormone shifts, endo, postpartum, perimenopause… all of it), this work can help you reset, self-regulate, and feel back in charge.

V*ginal estrogen isn’t just for GSM — it’s also recommended to support recovery after orthopedic surgeries. 🦴💛
Estrogen plays a key role in tissue healing, collagen strength, and inflammation control.
The 2025 AUA Guidelines remind us that women deserve evidence-based care for both pelvic and musculoskeletal health. 🌿

Medical gaslighting happens when your symptoms get brushed off, minimized, or explained away.
Maybe you’ve been told your pain during seggs is normal, or that your libido changes are ‘just hormones.’
But here’s the truth: your experience matters, your body isn’t lying, and you deserve answers that go beyond ‘it’s all in your head.’”
I’m Dr. Ginger Garner, and this is exactly what I specialize in—listening, validating, and helping you get real answers. If you’re tired of being dismissed, hop online and book a free consult with me. (Link in bio)
And stay tuned—my next podcast season on The Vocal Pelvic Floor - will be diving DEEP into unmuting your se*ual health at midlife.
Because ‘it’s just stress so you should just have a glass of wine and relax” should never be the only “diagnosis” you get—especially when it comes to your pelvic and se*ual health.

🎃 It’s not a costume — and it’s definitely not “just a bad period.”
When the body’s trying to speak, it’s not in disguise.
Endometriosis pain is real — not imaginary, not dramatic, and not a character flaw.
Let’s unmask the truth and listen to what the body’s saying.
💛 Your voice matters — from your diaphragm to your pelvic floor.

I’m livid. A patient of mine was taken off vaginal estrogen — despite having Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). Let me be clear: both AUA and NAMS guidelines state that vaginal estrogen is safe, even for women with a history of cancer.
This patient doesn’t have cancer. She’s not high-risk. And yet, she was denied evidence-based care because her provider is not up to date on the research. This is medical gaslighting, and it has to stop. Women deserve care based on science — not fear. 💛
