Are you being medically gaslighted while your insurance company profits from your pain? This conversation with Katy Whalen, founder of Joi + Blokes telemedicine, pulls back the curtain on why midlife women are systematically failed by traditional healthcare. Katy shares her raw journey from comprehensive fertility support to complete menopause abandonment, sparking her mission to revolutionize women's healthcare through telehealth. 

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of navigating life during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. We get brutally honest about medical gaslighting, why your doctor dismisses your symptoms as "normal," and how insurance companies actively prevent you from getting optimal care. Katy breaks down the truth about HRT that most doctors won't tell you, exposes the dangerous research peptide market flooding social media, and reveals why telehealth is the future of personalized hormone care.

We tackle the uncomfortable truths about why only 1 in 5 doctors are trained in menopause, what comprehensive testing actually reveals about your health, and why paying out of pocket might cost less than fighting your insurance company for substandard care.

If you've ever been told you're "fine" while feeling absolutely terrible, been denied testing because insurance won't cover it, or wondered why your body stopped responding to everything that used to work, this episode will validate your frustration and give you a clear action plan. She shares exactly what to look for in HRT treatment, how to spot legitimate peptide therapy versus dangerous research compounds, and why telehealth partnerships are changing the game for women who refuse to settle for "normal."

Get ready to stop being gaslighted and start demanding the optimal health you deserve.
