With Guest: Dr. Chiquie Viquiera, Founder of Pro-Age Beauty PH

Did you know that women going through perimenopause experience 48 symptoms? Of course, they won't experience all of them, but there are uncommon symptoms that are often dismissed as part of aging rather than hormonal.

While many may assume menopause to be the end of a woman's journey, it is, in fact, the beginning of something extraordinary.

In this empowering episode of Mom in the Middle, I sit down with Dr. Claudine Viquiera, the inspiring founder of Pro-Age Beauty, to talk about embracing midlife changes with confidence and grace. We discuss what really happens to our bodies and minds during menopause, the myths that make women fear it, and how we can care for ourselves from the inside out—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Dr. Claudine shares her personal journey and how it led her to create a movement that celebrates aging as power, not loss. If you’ve ever felt like menopause marked the end of your youth or femininity, this episode will remind you that it’s actually a new beginning—one filled with wisdom, strength, and renewed purpose.

It’s time to redefine what it means to age beautifully.
