What's Really Happening with Dr. Tesa Jordens

You've been told you're fine. Your labs came back normal. But you're not sleeping. Your anxiety is through the roof. Your body doesn't feel like yours anymore. And no one is listening.

Dr. Tesa Jordens knows why: menopause wasn't taught in medical school. She's a physician who left "big box medicine" to create 1988 Wellness — a telehealth practice where women in midlife are finally heard, validated, and treated like the complex humans they are.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why women are being gaslit in healthcare (and why it's not your doctor's fault)
• The symptoms doctors miss: heart palpitations, joint pain, early waking, and the anxiety you can't explain
• What "you're fine" really means (your labs are normal, but you're in perimenopause)
• Why 99.9% of women should be on vaginal estrogen (yes, really)
• How telehealth is giving women their power back
• Why 1988 matters (hint: it's the year women could finally get a business loan without a male co-signer)

If you've been told "it's just stress" or "you need to lose weight" one more time, this episode is for you.
