Why are women in midlife left struggling while the healthcare system profits? Let me share my perspective on the frustrations, failures, and how we can fight for better care.

Healthcare in the United States is failing millions of people, but women in midlife are hit the hardest. From denied treatments to dismissive attitudes, the system often prioritizes profits over patients. Women dealing with chronic pain, sexual health issues, and menopause-related symptoms are left with little to no support, and I see this every day in my practice.

In this episode, I dive into the layers of frustration felt by both patients and clinicians. I talk about the systemic issues—like insurance companies denying essential care and the burnout faced by healthcare providers—that make navigating the system a nightmare. Using my own experiences as a menopause and sexual medicine specialist, I explore why midlife women are particularly underserved and what that means for their health.

I also discuss alternative care models, like concierge medicine, and how they might help women who feel lost in the system. My goal is to show you how to advocate for your health, find a trusted provider, and break through the barriers keeping you from the care you deserve.

This isn’t just about highlighting the problems—it’s about empowering you to take control of your healthcare journey. With compassion and actionable advice, I hope to leave you feeling inspired to advocate for yourself and demand better.

Highlights:

  • Why midlife women and those with sexual health issues are the most neglected by the healthcare system.
  • The shocking challenges clinicians face when working with insurance companies.
  • How chronic pain and untreated menopause symptoms are connected to mental health struggles.
  • The rise of concierge medicine as a more personalized care option.
  • Practical tips on advocating for yourself in a system that often fails to prioritize women.
