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.\n00:00 Podcast Welcome\n01:09 Jamie Nursing Origins\n02:47 Becoming Nurse Practitioner\n04:46 Healthcare System Friction\n08:27 Perimenopause Wake Up Call\n11:13 Seeing the Bigger Pattern\n13:11 Biggest Care Gap\n14:20 Founding Peri and Pause\n18:25 Building Patient First Practice\n19:21 Whole Woman Care Approach\n20:20 Coordinated Care Promise\n20:46 Preventive Deep Dives\n21:56 Proactive Treatment Mindset\n22:19 Patient Wins That Matter\n23:12 Word of Mouth Growth\n24:12 Building a Mission Business\n25:41 Imposter Syndrome and Connection\n26:57 Misinformation and Clinician Shame\n30:00 Why Education Still Lags\n31:13 Values Purpose and The Future\n36:45 Closing Thoughts and Wrap Up","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/blIqoXV8cJEwQkLxFiT2hhmzV5NFQ3SQUL8ePL6tRgE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMGVj/M2RkYjA1MGExODEw/MzY2Mjk3NzUwODE5/MmNmNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
