This story is heartbreaking—and infuriating. The gaslighting this woman experienced is not just a one-off. It’s a symptom of a broken medical education system. We have an entire generation of healthcare providers who were never properly trained to understand, diagnose, or treat menopause. That failure is not hers. It’s ours. To dismiss a woman asking for evidence-based care as “one of those loud gals” is not only insulting—it’s dangerous. She went in informed, prepared, and advocating for herself. She deserves to be met with respect and up-to-date care. She is also an RN. We are learning more about menopause every day, and women deserve providers who are keeping up with the science—not clinging to outdated biases. To anyone reading this and feeling alone: you’re not. There are excellent doctors out there. There are telemedicine options. And there is a path to better care. Start by downloading the Menopause Empowerment Guide at the link in my bio. It includes trusted resources and directories to help you find providers who are actually trained in menopause care. You are not “loud.” You are not “obnoxious.” You are advocating for your health. And you deserve better. #menopause #perimenopause #drmaryclaire #thenewmenopause
