A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER, JESSICA

I bring a unique and deeply informed perspective to women’s hormone health. I entered the women’s health specialty in 2005, and over the last two decades I have watched women slowly deteriorate in ways that were often dismissed, minimized, or misattributed. What I did not fully understand earlier in my career, I now see clearly.
Over the last two years, I have immersed myself in advanced education on perimenopause and menopause. What I discovered changed everything. I realized that much of what I had been seeing for years was not simply aging, poor lifestyle, or stress. It was hormonal chaos.

I am also personally the face of perimenopause. I am 42 and experienced it myself without initially understanding what was happening. Despite nearly ten years of higher education and almost 20 years in clinical practice, I received virtually no formal training on perimenopause. In medical school, they receive about 4 hours of menopause training during their 6-8 years of training. This is a major gap in medical education. Women have historically been told their symptoms are stress, aging, anxiety, or something they just need to tolerate.
