What happens when a board-certified OB-GYN starts questioning everything she was taught?

In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne, a conventionally trained physician who nearly walked away from medicine altogether—until she realized the problem wasn’t her. It was the system.

And the ones impacted the most? Mid-life women searching for answers.

In this episode, we talk about why so many midlife women are being ignored, misdiagnosed, or flat-out dismissed. As Dr. Suzanne puts it, “Tell me you don’t like older women without telling me you don’t like older women.”

We talk about what it means to blend surgical precision with Ayurvedic wisdom, how integrative medicine started as a whisper behind closed doors. Dr. Suzanne opens up about the fear of being labeled “quacky,” the burnout of practicing within insurance constraints, and the radical act of slowing down enough to listen. 

We also dig into the structural mess—PBMs, prior authorizations, and why clinicians and patients are both suffering. 

But this conversation isn’t just about what’s broken. It’s about what’s possible. It’s about women reclaiming agency in midlife and clinicians rebuilding medicine on their own terms.

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of being dismissed, miscategorized, or left behind. 

Come for the hormone talk. 

Stay for the revolution.
