Fed Up Fueled My Fire. Experience Built the Framework.
35 years as a pharmacist taught me this: women deserve better than dismissal
I didn’t set out to become a menopause coach. I was perfectly happy in my pharmacist world …until I got tired of watching women just like get you brushed off, handed a generic prescription – or worse, told to ‘just live with it’- and left feeling broken and confused.
After 35+ years in pharmacy, one thing became clear: women in midlife deserve better. Better answers. Better support. Better care that actually listens.
And when I began studying the metabolic changes that follow menopause, it became clear that most women were being given outdated advice for a body that had already changed.
That’s why I do this now- real hormone and metabolic guidance grounded in science, structure, and yes, a little sass.”
Who I am. Why I care.
I’ve sat across the counter, across the desk, and across the exam table from too many women who felt ignored and dismissed. And I’ve been there myself : the hot flashes, the brain fog, the zero energy. That’s why I can combine the science I’ve studied for decades with the real-life empathy of someone who’s walked this road too.
I’m the author of Hot Flashes & Cold Truths and The Menopause Weight Loss Reality in the GLP-1 Era, where I break down what actually changes after menopause- and how to work with your new biology instead of fighting it.
This isn’t about handing you another cookie-cutter answer. It’s about understanding what changed and building a strategy that fits your biology now.
When I’m not talking hormones, you’ll probably find me on an adventure with my husband , fishing with my dad, or cheering on my son at the baseball field. I love good food, big laughs, and conversations that go way deeper than small talk. And just like you, I’ve had my share of midlife curveballs.
So when I say I get it, I mean it. This isn’t just professional. It’s personal.
