If you’ve been listening to me for any amount of time, you know how strongly I feel that women deserve BETTER when it comes to our hormones and our health. We deserve to be heard, educated, taken seriously, and treated like partners in our own care.
Enter Dr. Mondona Goodwin.
Talking to Dr. Mondona is honestly like an educational meditation session. 😂 She KNOWS her stuff, but she has this incredibly calm, reassuring demeanor that I swear could put an angry mama bear at ease. And I absolutely loved talking with her.
Dr. Goodwin is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with more than a decade of clinical experience. She’s also the founder of CYRA Wellness, a practice inspired in part by her own journey with hormones, and by her desire to create the kind of healthcare experience she wished existed.
One of the things I love most about Mondona’s philosophy is this: Don’t just treat the hot flash. Treat the WOMAN.
YES. THIS.
Because we are so much more than a list of menopause symptoms.
We talked about hormones, metabolism, mood, long-term health, individualized hormone therapy, and why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can all have a place in the conversation when appropriate.
But we also talked about something that I think is just as important: how a woman FEELS when she leaves her doctor’s office.
Did you feel heard?
Did you feel taken seriously?
Do you understand your options?
Do you know what the plan is?
And do you feel like your provider is actually your PARTNER in your healthcare?
This conversation is educational, empowering, and, thanks to Dr. Mondona, somehow incredibly calming at the same time.
Thank you for turning in, AND HUGE THANK YOU to Dr. Mondona for taking the time to hang out with me on Zoom😘.
