If you’ve been feeling “off,” dismissed, or not quite like yourself—and you take the insights from this episode into your next doctor’s appointment—you will walk in more informed, more confident, and far more equipped to get the support and treatment your body actually needs. This conversation has the potential to be truly life-changing.
In this episode of Behind the Scenes with Noelle, I sit down with Dr. Noor—a globally trained physician whose journey from Kuwait to Dublin, London, and ultimately the U.S. in 2017 led her to build a thriving practice dedicated to midlife women.
What began as a side hustle has evolved into a sought-after wellness destination, with Dr. Noor cutting through the noise of social media with a clear, trusted, and refreshingly honest voice.
We unpack a completely redefined view of menopause—what it actually is, when it truly begins, and the symptoms so many women are experiencing without realizing they’re hormone-related.
In this conversation, we cover:
- The subtle (and not-so-subtle) symptoms of perimenopause—including hot flashes, weight gain, sleep disruption, anxiety, panic, irrational fear, and more
- Why menopause is not a moment—but a long-term shift impacting nearly every system in your body
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters for your brain, bones, heart, and long-term health
- GLP-1s—how they fit into the conversation and what women should understand before considering them
- How to advocate for yourself and have more productive, informed conversations with your own doctor
- Dr. Noor’s journey building her business while raising a family—and why her message is resonating with so many women right now
This episode is equal parts education and empowerment—designed to help you connect the dots, ask better questions, and take ownership of your health in this phase of life.
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond—or love someone who is—this is a must-listen. Save it, share it, and come back to it with notes.
