Doctors dismissed her. She didn’t accept it.
Aug 31, 2025
Doctors miss menopause all the time.
Not because they don’t care.
But because the system isn’t built for you.
Here’s why:
No standard test.
Hormones that fluctuate daily.
Symptoms that mimic depression, thyroid problems, or “just aging.”
Fatigue? You’re told it’s stress.
Mood changes? You’re offered antidepressants.
Joint pain? You’re told it’s just “getting older.”
Meanwhile, you’re stuck in the middle of perimenopause.
Foggy.
Exhausted.
Gaining weight.
Feeling like your body has turned against you.
That’s exactly what happened to one of my clients.
She went to her doctor.
She explained how she couldn’t sleep through the night.
How she was dragging herself through her days.
And how her weight just kept creeping up no matter what she tried.
Her labs came back “normal.”
She was told she was fine.
But she knew she wasn’t fine.
Instead of pushing through another dismissal, she trusted herself.
She reached out to me.
And that’s when everything shifted.
We dug deeper.
Looked at her hormones, her stress, her metabolism — as one connected system.
And we built a plan that actually matched what her body needed.
Slowly, things began to change.
She started sleeping through the night.
The brain fog cleared.
Her energy came back.
The weight began to move.
And for the first time in years, she finally felt like herself again.
Here’s the truth:
It wasn’t in her head.
It was biology.
And once we connected the dots, she got her life back.
You don’t need another “everything looks normal.”
You need someone who sees the whole picture.
