The menopause market just got called out by the Associate Press (AP). I called it first. 👇

Women in perimenopause and menopause are being bombarded — supplements, serums, gadgets, bracelets — all making big promises with very little science behind them. Doctors across the country are now publicly saying: be careful.

I've been saying this. In February, I wrote a deep-dive with on exactly this. Because I see it in all the time. Women who have tried everything, spent real money, and still don't feel heard.

This is why exists. Just board-certified, evidence-based information — built around you.

👇 What's one menopause product you've tried that didn't live up to the promise? Drop it in the comments — you're not alone, and your answer might help someone else.

We’ve been calling this ‘normal’ for so long that we forgot to ask if it has to stay
this way. Over HALF the global population is living with the Herpes Simplex
Virus (HSV).

But science is finally catching up. New vaccine technologies, including the
mRNA platforms we became familiar with recently, are in clinical trials and
have shown incredible promise.
Think about the way the HPV vaccine changed public health —an HSV vaccine has
the potential to do the same, preventing symptoms and reducing the silence around transmission that makes this virus so common.

This isn't just about biology; it's about breaking down old narratives. You’re
not imagining the silence around this topic. And you’re definitely not alone
wanting a different future.

The pharmacy isn’t empty.

But for many women right now, the one medication they actually need isn’t there.

I started hearing about the estrogen patch shortage through texts from friends. Not headlines. Not data. Just women asking where they could find something that was working for them.

So I went looking for answers.

Why would a decades-old, evidence-based therapy be this hard to access? And, this isn’t a new problem…it’s been happening for MONTHS.

Grateful to Katie Couric Media for continuing to highlight this issue — my article on the estrogen patch shortage is featured again today in Wake-Up Call.

Because menopause care is essential healthcare. And access to it shouldn’t feel this uncertain.

The AP just said what I’ve been saying for a year.

The menopause market is booming. The marketing is aggressive. And most of what’s being sold to you hasn’t been proven to actually work.

I wrote about this in February with Unbiased Science Podcast — separating menopause medicine from menopause marketing — because I was watching it happen to my own patients and friends. They’d try everything. Spend real money. Feel real hope. And then show up in my office because nothing worked or something got worse.

You are not failing. You were failed.

Save this for the next time something lands in your feed promising to fix your hormones.

👇 Tell me: what’s the most aggressive thing you’ve been marketed to about menopause? I want to hear it.

Science is making huge leaps in ! A herpes vaccine could be a massive win for , similar to other major
breakthroughs we’ve seen. Researchers are using new mRNA tech, and the results are looking promising. It’s a reminder of how is constantly pushing forward to tackle lifelong viruses.

I didn’t say anything for a minute after she said this.

Because she’s right.

And somewhere along the way, we forget.

When I first started my medical training, the idea of medicine as a "calling" was inspiring. It felt like a noble purpose. But over the years, I've seen how that same idea can be used to justify a system that pushes physicians toward burnout by prioritizing metrics over human connection.

This pressure creates a difficult internal conflict between the compassionate healer we aspire to be and the detached expert the system sometimes demands. With over half of U.S. physicians reporting burnout, it's clear this impacts everyone's quality of care.

I dive deeper into this crucial conversation in my new Substack article.

Content Warning: This post discusses pregnancy complications and loss.

My journey to motherhood was marked by preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, preterm deliveries, and even the heartbreaking loss of stillbirth. These experiences were devastating, but they also revealed a critical, unspoken connection between pregnancy complications and a person’s long-term heart health.

The demands of pregnancy can highlight underlying health predispositions, and what happens during those (possibly) nine months can offer powerful clues about your future health risks. It’s a conversation I wish I could have had sooner, and it’s why I wrote my story for Katie Couric Media.

We need to talk about this. We need to empower people with the knowledge to advocate for their own care, long after the baby is born. You can read the full article on or through the link in the caption.

I don’t want to be 25 again. Not even a little.

I want to be this—
laughing too loud
taking up space
feeling strong in my body
and finally understanding it

Because the goal was never to go backward.
The goal was to arrive.

And if you’re in your 20s watching this—
please know this:
it only gets better when you stop trying to be smaller.

It’s not just you. That feeling of being a little 'off'—more worried, tired, or just not yourself—is a real and shared e...

It’s not just you. That feeling of being a little 'off'—more worried, tired, or just not yourself—is a real and shared experience during the perimenopause transition. The hormonal shifts don't just affect our bodies; they have a huge impact on our mental and emotional health.

But you have power here. Building a toolkit of lifestyle strategies can make a world of difference in your quality of life. While access to resources like therapy or nutritious food can vary, even small steps in these areas can be beneficial. It's about finding what works for you in your circumstances. It’s about more than just managing hot flashes; it’s about supporting your mind with movement, nourishing your body to stabilize your mood, using psychological tools to build resilience, and finding strength in community.

My favorite way to move when I'm feeling overwhelmed is a long trail run with a good podcast. It clears my head and resets my nervous system. What’s your go-to?

It's important to discuss your symptoms with a healthcare professional to get a personalized care plan. This information is for educational purposes and not a substitute for medical advice. Thank you, for helping me make this post!

Sometimes I open my mouth and my mother comes out.

But here’s the thing most people don’t realize…

Your menopause transition might echo your mother’s too.

Genetics plays a role in when menopause happens and how some women experience it. That means one of the most valuable sources of information about your own transition might be sitting across the dinner table.

So ask.

Ask your mom what her menopause was like.
When it started.
What surprised her.
What she wishes she had known.

Because menopause is not rare.
It’s not shameful.
And it’s not something we should be navigating in silence.

It’s something every woman who reaches midlife experiences.

And conversations between women are one of the most powerful forms of education we have.

If you want to understand more about the science of the menopause transition, I teach it inside my menopause course at Selfority.com — because the more we understand our bodies, the more prepared we are for the changes that come with midlife.
