In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Brandy Zachary (Dr. Z) to talk about functional medicine, menopause, and why so many women are being dismissed when they need real answers most.

Dr. Z shares her personal health journey, from life changing illness and being declared permanently disabled to rebuilding her health through functional medicine and creating tools that now help practitioners better serve their patients.

Here's what we dive into:

  • Why so many practitioners were never taught how to truly address root cause healing
  • The biggest mistakes women make when searching for menopause solutions
  • Why there is no "one size fits all" menopause protocol
  • How hormone shifts often expose deeper underlying imbalances already happening in the body
  • Why depression and anxiety during menopause are often overlooked and dismissed
  • How bioidentical hormone support can create relief while deeper healing happens
  • The importance of personalized care instead of influencer driven health advice
  • Why women should never "just suffer through it" during this stage of life
  • How menopause can become one of the most empowering seasons of a woman's life with the right support
  • Why practitioners need better education around women's hormones

Dr. Z also shares how she is helping train providers and building tools to help end medical gaslighting so women can finally get the care they deserve.

This is an incredibly empowering conversation for women navigating hormonal changes and for providers who want to better support them.
