Happy Independence Day having fun with my older two at the hot chicken festival in Nashville. Days are long years are short. I embrace every moment I get with these boys it’s getting harder and harder to get us all as a family of 5! Missing our Penny.

Just went to get my yearly mammogram today even healthcare providers try to be good patients. It is important to do this every year and to stay abreast no pun intended.

Menopause care is nuanced and patient specific. More and more clinicians want to help their patients. Time is the hardest factor. It may take several office visits if insurance is needed. Set expectations for your patients.

Don’t let them tell you testosterone is not women’s health!!! Men get the box labeled removed and we can’t even get a FDA indication. We must do better!

So the 2025 meeting comes to a close. I will continue post updates throughout the week. But It is very bittersweet when the end comes. I feel like we pulled off a phenomenal conference. It was an international conference, and I hope that we put forward a very international scope and that it was very multidisciplinary. I will never tell you it was easy, but it was an honor and a reward to be able to step up to do something like this and to see the year of work and the fruits of our labor that we put into this. But the reason why I end on this post is because though it has been so much work the absolute best thing that I gained out of this was my best friend. I am honored to pass the torch and she will put on a phenomenal conference next year. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart! I 100% could not do this without you. The million and one phone calls, daily chats, 5 billion texts, and too many to count emails and everything did not go unseen. I love you!!!!

Teaching the Department of defense personnel on how to care for the menopausal patient that is being treated at military treatment facilities. We realize the gaps and care and that they want to do better for their patients time constraints not getting formal education. This is all part of what is needed to step up the game and be better providers for our midlife. Honored to do this with some of the best of the best colleagues I know.

Navigating menopause can feel overwhelming, with symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue disrupting your daily life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a powerful option—but what does it really involve, and is it a good fit for you?

✨ What is HRT?
HRT is a treatment that supplements declining hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, to ease menopausal symptoms. These hormones regulate many body functions, and their decline can significantly impact sleep, mood, energy, and even bone health. HRT can help restore balance, offering relief from these challenges. There are various forms, including pills, patches, creams, and vaginal inserts, depending on your needs and lifestyle.

💡 Who Might Benefit from HRT?
HRT can be helpful if you’re experiencing:

-Intense hot flashes and night sweats
-Vaginal dryness or discomfort
-Sleep disturbances
-Bone loss or a family history of osteoporosis
-Significant mood swings

⚖️ HRT Pros:
-Reduces the severity of menopause symptoms
-Helps protect bone density
-May improve sleep quality, mood, and cognitive function

⚖️ Cons & Risks:
-Slightly increased risk of breast cancer with long-term use in some women
-May increase the risk of blood clots or stroke in certain individuals
-Not suitable for all women; medical history plays a critical role

Other Options for Symptom Relief:

1️⃣ Lifestyle changes: Regular exercise, a nutrient-rich diet, and stress reduction techniques like yoga or meditation can improve your overall well-being.

2️⃣ Non-hormonal medications: Certain antidepressants or medications like gabapentin can help manage hot flashes and mood changes.

3️⃣ Natural supplements: Phytoestrogens (like soy and flaxseed) and black cohosh may provide some relief, though evidence is mixed—consult your doctor before use.

4️⃣ Pelvic floor therapy: Supports vaginal health, reduces discomfort, and enhances overall pelvic strength.

While HRT is an effective option for many, it’s not the only one. The key is to work closely with your healthcare provider to create a personalized plan that helps you thrive during this transition.

One of the lesser-known hormonal changes during menopause is an increased risk of insulin resistance. As estrogen levels drop, your body becomes less effective at processing glucose, leading to higher blood sugar levels and a tendency to store more fat—especially around the abdomen. This shift isn’t just frustrating; it’s also linked to long-term health risks like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Signs of possible insulin resistance include:
✨ Cravings for sugary or starchy foods.
✨ Increased belly fat, even with no changes in diet or activity.
✨ Feeling tired, sluggish, or “foggy” after meals.

When insulin resistance sets in, your body struggles to move glucose into cells for energy, causing spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. Over time, this can contribute to weight gain and inflammation, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.

What you can do to support your body:
Eat Balanced Meals: Combine protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbs to keep blood sugar stable and reduce cravings. Opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods like lean proteins, nuts, seeds, and non-starchy vegetables. Avoid refined sugars and overly processed foods.
Incorporate Regular Movement: Strength training builds muscle, which improves insulin sensitivity, while daily walks help regulate blood sugar. Even small changes like taking the stairs or doing yoga can make a big difference over time.
Time Your Meals: Eating smaller, balanced meals more frequently can prevent large blood sugar swings. Pay attention to portion sizes and avoid going long periods without eating, which can lead to overeating later.

Menopause is a season of change, and while it may feel challenging, understanding how hormones like insulin impact your body gives you the power to take control. Small, consistent actions can help you maintain balance, support your health, and feel your best.

Where SHE is seen

The Sexual Health, Optimization and Wellness (SHOW) Center was founded by Dr. Heather Quaile DNP, WHNP-BC, SANE. The center provides specialized care to empower women to embrace s*xuality in a manner that is integrative, holistic and functional. Heather has focused her entire career specifically helping women dealing with s*xual dysfunction, s*xuality counseling, and holistic, integrative medicine. Heather maintains her philosophy around the golden rule and strives to treat every woman as she would treat her mother, grandmothers, sister, aunts, and friends.

Often women are not “seen or heard”, our mission is to create a center where “She is Seen”. We offer a individualized approach to women’s specific, healthcare concerns. We will maintain an environment that embodies health, wellness, optimization and an understanding of pleasure. We offer evidence-based healthcare that is respectful, empathic, non-judgmental, a place where women are listened to and valued and we meet them where they are on their s*xual health and wellness journey.

Your SHOW provider is board certified in women’s health with specialty training in female s*xual and pelvic dysfunctions, s*xuality counseling, menopausal health, and functional, integrative medicine. Many women’s s*xual concerns have physiological roots and medical professionals are beginning to recognize and understand more treatment options for many of these issues. The SHOW Center collaborates with the area's most respected professionals including urologists, gynecologists, urogynecologists, psychologists, s*x therapists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, health coaches, dieticians, and massage therapists to provide holistic, team-centered, empathic care.
