 Is Online Menopause Care Really Helping You? The Hidden Risks You Need to Know Are you feeling dismissed, rushed, or just plain confused by the options for menopause care? You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. In this episode, I’m diving into a growing trend that’s both promising and problematic: online telehealth services offering hormone therapy and quick-fix prescriptions.

If you've ever felt tempted to click "buy" on a hormone treatment without a proper medical evaluation, this conversation is for you. I’m breaking down why this new wave of care might be missing the mark—and what true, holistic midlife care should actually look like.


In this episode:

  • Why fast online hormone prescriptions may be doing more harm than good
  • The problem with “one-size-fits-all” menopause solutions
  • Real risks of taking medications without lab work or proper medical guidance
  • The missing piece in online care: lifestyle medicine as your superpower
  • What comprehensive midlife healthcare really looks like
  • Why menopause deserves more than a Band-Aid—and so do you
  • The power of seeing this life phase as a creative, vibrant transition
