Guest: Dr. Amy Giles, CNM
Menopause is something every woman will experience, but so many of us feel unprepared, unheard, or even dismissed when it begins. In this episode of Discover Midwives, we’re changing that.
Join host Jessica Brumley as she sits down with Amy Giles, Certified Nurse-Midwife and educator, for an honest, empowering conversation about what menopause really looks like, and how midwives are uniquely equipped to support you through it.
Together, they break down:
What perimenopause actually is (and why symptoms can start years before your last period)
The wide range of symptoms—from hot flashes and sleep struggles to brain fog, mood changes, and low libido
Why menopause is a whole-body, whole-life transition
Simple, effective lifestyle strategies to feel better now
Natural remedies, supplements, and when they may help
The truth about hormone therapy, what’s changed, what’s safe, and who may benefit
How to prepare for a menopause-focused visit so you feel confident and heard
You’ll also learn why midwives are more than just birth providers. They are experts in caring for you from your first period through menopause and beyond.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal?” “Why do I feel so different?” “Do I just have to live with this?”
This episode is for you.
You deserve care that makes sense. You deserve options. You deserve to feel like yourself again.
Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, this conversation will leave you informed, validated, and hopeful.
