I speak from two decades of hands-on work and from lived experience. I've navigated my own perimenopause and hormone therapy journey, which NPR and Elektra Health have both featured. I'm comfortable on camera, on mic, and in front of a stadium crowd. Literally: I once keynoted at MetLife Stadium right after Eli Manning.
