What happens when your body is screaming for help, but no one can tell you why? In this deeply honest and powerful episode, we sit down with a remarkable woman who took her health into her own hands after being misdiagnosed, dismissed, and overwhelmed by a system that wasn't built to see her clearly.

From the numb jaw that started it all to 18 different doctors, $20K in out-of-pocket expenses, and an unwavering refusal to give up, this is a story about resilience, trust in your intuition, and the many paths to healing in midlife.

We unpack:

  • The confusing (and downright scary) symptoms that can show up in perimenopause
  • Why some women seek non-hormonal or natural options—and how to support those choices without judgment
  • The power of lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset in managing midlife health
  • How to tune out the noise and listen to what your body actually needs
  • And the importance of honoring all the different ways women navigate the menopause transition

Whether you're Team Hormone Therapy, Team Holistic, or still figuring it all out—this conversation is for YOU.

💬 Quotable Moments:

🗣️ “You can’t supplement your way out of a bag of potato chips.”
🗣️ “There isn’t one way to do menopause—we deserve options and support for all of them.”
🗣️ “I was determined not to give up on myself.”

🎧 Listen if you’re:

  • In the messy middle and feeling dismissed by your providers
  • Curious about navigating menopause without hormone therapy
  • Looking for real talk from women who’ve been there and are still figuring it out
  • Tired of feeling like there’s only one way to do midlife wellness
