Welcome back family!

This episode is a little different — it’s not about data or symptoms or even solutions. It’s about reflection. I just returned from the Menopause Society Conference, and I have to tell you — it changed me.

There were conversations that went beyond the science — about trauma, burnout, and the invisible weight women carry through midlife. About what it means to practice medicine in a system that doesn’t always see the whole woman. And about what happens when we finally start connecting the dots between hormones, health, and healing.

So today, I’m taking you behind the scenes — into the rooms, the talks, and the quiet moments that reminded me why I do this work. This is what I took home from the Menopause Society Conference.
