Online Care & Peri thru Post
As I have said before, the Meno-Sphere is loud these days. Who do you listen to? Who do you doctor with? Today’s blog gives a few resources online that can take you to specialists at your fingertips. No matter where you are in the world, there IS help. Don’t give up! The loudness is being heard and more doctors are being trained to LISTEN and prescribe care for menopause and perimenopause.
The Menopause Society is an international society that gives resources and training to both patient and practitioner!
The Canadian Menopause Society provides specifics for Canadian woman and practioners
Midi Health is an online platform with all menopause specialists on staff. Insurance and self-pay.
Other online platforms that give menopause care are: Winona, Alloy, EverNow, Elektra Health, Modern Menopause (in Canada), The Menopause Practice (in Canada)
Other sites that can give great resources: Let’s Talk Menopause, Power in the Pause, My Menoplan, Urogynocology, IUGA, Pelvic Floor IUGA,
These resources can get you to finding practitioners that are specialists, and are trained specifically in peri thru post. Don’t ever assume your OBGYN or primary care has the knowledge of menopause! Most of them do NOT.
Advocate for yourself. Do your research. Ask the questions. If you get a shrug or dismissal, that’s when you need to go elsewhere. Now there are resources so you aren’t stuck with someone who is called “doctor” but doesn’t get it.
Most of these resources I have included have information, articles, studies and more for your digestion! You can walk into your doctor’s office - literally or virtually - with the knowledge of what you may need. Help your doctor help you!
If you have other resources that you have found helpful or even life-changing, please share below! Health care is not a one size fits all. We have to find the care that connects with us as human beings going through this powerful time!
in solidarity,
