If you see me liking your menopause content…
this is exactly what it looks like.

Social media can be an incredible place to learn — when the information is grounded in evidence.

There are so many brilliant clinicians, researchers, and science communicators working to make menopause education accurate and accessible.

So yes… I will keep smashing the like button.

Thank you to the people doing the work.

If you’re waking up at 3AM during perimenopause, you’re not imagining it.

Researchers call it wake-after-sleep-onset
and it’s one of the most common sleep patterns during the menopause transition.

Up to 69% of midlife women report sleep disturbances.

Why it happens:
• falling estrogen
• hot flashes
• mood and stress changes
• alcohol and cannabis use
• undiagnosed sleep apnea (more common after menopause)

And the effects aren’t just feeling tired.

Chronic sleep disruption is linked to:
• mood changes
• cognitive fog
• cardiovascular risk
• reduced quality of life

The good news is that there are evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and treatments for vasomotor symptoms.

If menopause has turned you into a 3AM philosopher, you’re not alone.

Save this for the next time you’re staring at the ceiling.

PSA from S’more, a concerned lady.

Women deserve accurate health information.
Menopause should not be mysterious.
And snacks should be plentiful.

Thank you for attending her TED Talk.

After more than a decade practicing OB-GYN, I kept hearing the same sentence from incredible women:

“I think something is wrong with me.”

Often, what they were experiencing was perimenopause or menopause — without the education or language to understand it.

That gap is why I created Selfority and Menopause, At Work.

These platforms are designed to bring science, clarity, and trust to a transition that too many women navigate alone.

This work is for women — and for the people who care about them.

I’m excited to start sharing more.

Houston — let’s talk menopause.

I’m excited to be back in town on March 21 for Mocktails & Menopause, hosted by the Women’s Health Research & Action Center.

We’ll screen The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause and then have a panel conversation about what women actually need to know about perimenopause and menopause.

If you’re in the Houston area, I’d love to see you there.

I wrote something this week that started with one story.

Leah Chapman began having severe symptoms of endometriosis at 12 years old.

It would take 20 years before she received a diagnosis. This led her to found

That timeline isn’t unusual. The average delay in diagnosing endometriosis is still four to eleven years.

In my newest piece for , I explore why that delay persists and what new clinical guidance might mean for patients and clinicians.

But more than anything, this article is about listening and how the way medicine interprets pain shapes people’s lives.

I’m honored to be joining Dr. Nirvana Manning at the for a conversation about one of the most misunderstood transitions in women’s health: menopause.

We’ll be talking about the myths, the science, and the practical guidance women and families need to navigate midlife with confidence.

This stage of life deserves better information, better conversations, and better support.

If you're in the area, I’d love to see you there.

When I wrote about ma********on and menopause for , I knew the headline might make a few people pause.

Not because the science is inappropriate, but because culturally we still treat certain parts of women’s sexual health as something we’re supposed to whisper about.

The research itself raises an interesting question.
Some women report improvements in mood and sleep during menopause when they engage in self-pleasure.

At the same time, only a small percentage of women say a doctor has ever discussed ma********on with them.

That gap says something important.

Menopause conversations often focus on hormones, medications, and symptom management. But sexual health is also physiology. Blood flow. Nervous system regulation. Neurochemistry. Sleep. Mood.

If something affects sleep, pain, relationships, and a person’s sense of connection to their own body, it belongs in health care.

I wrote about the science, the cultural discomfort, and why this conversation still makes medicine uneasy in my recent piece with

Curious to hear from you:

Would you feel comfortable bringing up sexual health with your doctor?

There is a kind of freedom in little girls that is hard to describe until you see it.

They spin because it feels good.
They fall down and laugh.
They get dizzy and immediately try again.

Their bodies are not something to manage or evaluate.
Their bodies are just the way they move through the world.

Watching my daughter at three, spinning in the middle of a mall like she owns the place, I remember that this is where every woman starts.

Not self-conscious.
Not calculating.
Not wondering how she looks.

Just moving.
Just laughing.
Just completely at home in her body.

I spend a lot of my professional life talking to women who feel like they have lost that feeling somewhere along the way.

But moments like this remind me that the instinct to trust our bodies was there first.

And maybe it is still there.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Tell me something you loved doing in your body when you were little.

Running?
Climbing trees?
Cartwheels?
Spinning until you fell over laughing?

I have not aged out. 🥇

Watching the Milan Winter Olympics this year broke something open for me.

Women in their 40s and 50s standing at the start gate.
A mother competing at the same Games as her son.
Athletes thanking their caregivers instead of pretending they did it alone.

When I was a kid in 1992, I couldn’t wait to be “old enough” to do something extraordinary.

Somewhere along the way, old stopped sounding like arrival and started sounding like warning.

These Games flipped that back.

As a physician, I spend a lot of time helping women understand what’s actually happening in their bodies during perimenopause and menopause. We’ve been told aging means decline.

It doesn’t. It means power if you understand it.

That’s why I created my menopause education course — because when women understand their biology, they stop shrinking themselves.

The Olympics reminded me of that.

🍹 Houston — let’s talk menopause.

I’m honored to be joining the expert panel at WRAC’s Mocktails & Menopause event — and this night is extra special.

We’ll start with a screening of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause 🎬
Then stay for a live expert panel discussion where we unpack the science, the myths, and the cultural silence around midlife health.

So yes — two powerful events in one evening.

If you’re in Houston (or planning to be), I would love to see you there. These are the conversations women deserve — honest, evidence-based, and stigma-free.

✨ Seating is limited, so sign up soon. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mocktails-menopause-tickets-1982394492291?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios&sg=b5b31b434eec594798ef88fcb4c59604d5f9c901df69edc39f19e776983676954db9b787f6019e59183f1e9e09f2a0e56bebd034aacf19b64529cedcc387aed9937dd9cf41a8d23833e1a6d6a8

Let’s trade silence for science — preferably with a great mocktail in hand. 🍸
