Jamie explains how time limits, metrics, and fragmented, symptom-by-symptom care pushed her to rethink how midlife women are treated, especially after her own perimenopause experience revealed a major healthcare gap. She describes Peri & Pause’s model as relationship-driven, evidence-based whole-woman care through the perimenopause/menopause lens, including proactive prevention, collaboration with other clinicians, and referrals when needed. Jamie discusses misinformation and clinician shaming around hormones, the need for better clinician education, core values like integrity and humility, and her vision for continued growth to meet ongoing demand.00:00 Podcast Welcome01:09 Jamie Nursing Origins02:47 Becoming Nurse Practitioner04:46 Healthcare System Friction08:27 Perimenopause Wake Up Call11:13 Seeing the Bigger Pattern13:11 Biggest Care Gap14:20 Founding Peri and Pause18:25 Building Patient First Practice19:21 Whole Woman Care Approach20:20 Coordinated Care Promise20:46 Preventive Deep Dives21:56 Proactive Treatment Mindset22:19 Patient Wins That Matter23:12 Word of Mouth Growth24:12 Building a Mission Business25:41 Imposter Syndrome and Connection26:57 Misinformation and Clinician Shame30:00 Why Education Still Lags31:13 Values Purpose and The Future36:45 Closing Thoughts and Wrap Up","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zXaEIDP7rIhJCNEyMPomb8q15qIgilgbh-O3IGGSZwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lYmY4/MDgzODRlZGU3YzI0/MzMwMzkzNjVkODI0/MmNjYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
