In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have Jackie Piasta, a seasoned women's health nurse practitioner and national certified menopause practitioner, join us. With over 15 years of experience, Jackie has been a trailblazer in menopause care and was notably voted one of the top three nurse practitioners in Arkansas in 2022. She now runs Monarch Health, a midlife and menopause clinic in Atlanta, Georgia. Jackie shares her journey and insights into menopause care, including how social media has helped spread awareness. We dive into the importance of personalized menopause treatment, the benefits of telehealth, and the future of women's healthcare.

Welcome to the Women Mastering Midlife podcast - this little corner of the internet where we get real about the honest ins and outs of womanhood in our middle years. I'm your host, Victoria Byrd. I'm a Pharmacist, Women's Integrative Health & Menopause Coach and I've spent the last 3 years not only helping women navigate the roller coaster that is midlife, but I'm also in the thick of it myself.

Gone are the days of being afraid to share that we're in our fabulous 40s and beyond. It's time we boldly discuss it all - the good, the great, the challenging, and the "how come no one prepared us for this?!" realities of midlife.

Whether you're navigating the joys and stresses of mothering teens while managing hot flashes, or seeking real solutions for that stubborn midlife middle, or feeling the strain of life's transitions on your relationships and sense of self - girl, you are not alone.

Here, we're diving deep into the complete mental, physical and emotional rewiring that happens during this stage.

We will have journal club: where I bring back an activity from pharmacy school...dissecting a research article and breaking it down for you in easy to understand ways so you can know the latest in women's health.

Chats on the mat will be conversations with girlfriends...like you do before yoga class. Aside from conversations with experts on midlife women's topics, we will attack this transition with different perspectives and hopefully some levity.

I will be using my 7 Pillars to Menopausal Health framework to provide conversations on topics that offer options in prescriptive and lifestyle so that you can walk away with tools to create your individual vision of what healthy means to you.

Experts will join me in discussions around relationships, sexual health, physical health and more.

So stick around, tell your friends, and get ready for a judgment-free dose of midlife inspiration, candid education, expert guidance and hopefully, the occasional laugh - even at my expense. We're all in this together on the path of mastering midlife.

Let's do this!
