Normal ECG. Normal thyroid. Normal everything.
But the racing heart? The hypervigilance? That constant amped-up feeling?
Still there — until we looked at her hormones.
Save this for the woman who has been told nothing is wrong.

New episode I'm proud to be part of. 🎧

Perimenopause doesn't wait for a convenient season. It shows up in the exact years many women are leading teams, running businesses, and going after the next promotion — and too often it gets blamed on stress, a packed schedule, or "just getting older."

I sat down with Betsy on Loud & Lifted to talk about what so many women miss: the anxiety, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, the brain fog, the exhaustion that no amount of willpower seems to fix. Not because you're less capable — but because your biology is changing. And biology has a strategy.

We covered:

How perimenopause is different from menopause
The symptoms that get dismissed (hint: it's not just hot flashes)
How it can quietly chip away at confidence and credibility at work
Why hormone therapy helps some women — and why it's not the only tool

There is no medal for suffering through a normal biological transition. Let's talk about it.

There is no girls' club. And until we tell the truth about that, no amount of leadership advice fixes anything.

Here's something no one told me before I started practicing menopause medicine: it's not just that women gain more fat at menopause — it's that estrogen loss literally moves fat from the hips to the belly.
Same woman. Different hormones. Different fat distribution.
That belly isn't from eating more. It's from losing estrogen.

Biology first. Always. 🧬

They gave her an anxiety diagnosis. Ran every cardiac test. Everything came back normal. But the palpitations didn't stop — until we addressed her hormones. If your heart has been racing and no one can tell you why — save this. Send it to someone who needs to hear it. Link in bio.

Dr. Troutman joined the team at Loud & Lifted for a conversation on something too few people connect: the cognitive symptoms of midlife — brain fog, memory slips, trouble focusing — and the real toll they take on women at work.

Too often women read these changes as personal failure, right when they're at the height of their careers. They're not failing. Their biology shifted, and no one explained it. 💛

The message stays the same because it matters: you are not broken.

The full episode drops Thursday, 8/20. We'll share the links here when it goes live.

Slow. Steady. Relentless.
The Nurses' Health Study tracked 41,518 women over 8 years and found they gained an average of 6.8 lbs — just under a pound a year.
It doesn't feel dramatic in the moment, but it compounds.
And it isn't about what you're eating.
It's about a metabolism that's changing. You deserve answers, not blame.
