In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Kerri Anthony, a board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist who has dedicated her career to helping women through one of the most misunderstood stages of life.
Too often, women are told that their symptoms are “just stress” or “just aging.” But what Dr. Anthony makes clear is that these changes are rooted in biology.. real hormonal shifts that affect both body and brain. From hot flashes and night sweats to anxiety, brain fog, and memory lapses, menopause is more than physical discomfort. It is a transition that impacts emotional and mental health as well.
Dr. Anthony shared how many women come to her believing they need antidepressants, when in fact what they truly need is a closer look at their hormones and support that addresses the whole picture—body, mind, and spirit. Her telehealth platform, Your Menopause MD, is changing lives by giving women access to specialized care that meets them where they are.
This conversation reminded me why these topics matter. Women deserve to have answers, not dismissal. They deserve care that validates what they are experiencing. And most importantly, they deserve hope that life after menopause can be healthy, vibrant, and fulfilling.
If you or someone you love is navigating perimenopause or menopause, I encourage you to watch this episode.
The knowledge Dr. Anthony brings has the power to change lives.
