Something is Deeply Wrong with the Way We Experience Midlife (And The Medical Industry Profits From Our Suffering)

Elise Marant, Menopause Wellness Coach

Ladies, we are hitting our 40s and 50s exhausted, anxious, disconnected, and sleepless.

And our doctors brush us off with "it's just part of getting older".

I remember my first OB/GYN appointment when my periods started acting unpredictable, and my body was doing things I couldn’t quite explain.

My doctor spent 5 minutes listening to me, looked me straight in the eye and said:
‘Well, you're just entering menopause. You should start exercising more. Maybe take a multivitamin."

And I was like, is he really going to ignore the fact that I'm SUFFERING here?

He didn't test my hormones. He didn't ask about my sleep. He didn't validate that I was in an emotional crisis. And that's the problem: the medical system profits from keeping us confused and suffering.

Even our own families think we're being "too sensitive" or "dramatic".
But we know something is wrong.

That's when I understood: no one is ever going to help us unless they've actually lived through this.

My Free Guide is For You If...

❤️‍🩹 You're completely exhausted, but everyone still expects you to do everything

❤️‍🩹 You snap at people you love, and then hate yourself for it

❤️‍🩹 Your husband wants sex but you feel nothing for him. Or worse, it hurts

❤️‍🩹 Your doctor dismissed you with "just exercise more"

❤️‍🩹 You feel like you're failing everyone: your kids, your husband, your parents, your job

And the one that hurts the most:
❤️‍🩹 You feel completely disconnected from yourself: isolated, unmotivated, empty, like you don’t recognize who you’ve become.

No. Menopause Isn't "Just Aging".

Menopause isn't just hot flashes and mood swings. It's a complete identity crisis that makes us feel like strangers in our own bodies.

When women say "I'm losing my mind" and "I get scared of myself", they're not being dramatic. They're describing genuine desperation.

And it's not one or two symptoms. You don't just feel "off". You feel like a completely different person.

I looked in the mirror and I didn't recognize myself. It wasn't just my body, my entire emotional world felt... very very unstable.

And no one prepares us for this. Not our mothers. Not our doctors.

It hits at the worst possible time:
When our kids are becoming adults and leaving home, our parents need us the most, our marriage is... complicated 😂.

The moment in our life when we need our body the most, it just falls apart.

Why I Created This Guide

I'm a therapist with over 20 years of experience helping women through midlife. But when menopause hit me in my late 40s, I didn't expect to be THAT lost.

I tried everything: yoga classes, drugstore supplements, restrictive diets, even hormone patches.
Nothing worked. Because you don’t need more random fixes, you need a plan that helps your body and mind work together!

So I spent 7 years figuring out what actually does work. Through clinical research, real conversations with other clinicians I trust, and listening to hundreds of women's real experiences.

Since then, I've walked over 1,000 women through this same journey.

This 15-page guide is everything I wish someone had given me. It's free. It's honest. It's your roadmap back to YOU.

Whether it’s about the Guide or menopause in general, I’d be happy to hear from you. Feel free to email me with any questions.
