Ep 64: Three things all women need to do when you start perimenopause

The Real Ex's will launch its second season in 2025, featuring Stacy Marie, RN, a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP-BC). She will join Sofie and Amy as the resident functional health expert. This season will focus on women's health issues and aims to demystify the latest information so women can effectively navigate their most critical years. Stacy will highlight three essential strategies for women over 35 to adopt, challenging the long-standing habits ingrained in daily life: eating adequate protein, consuming enough fiber, and stopping under-eating. More about Stacy: Stacy Marie Ronquillo, NP, brings over 17 years of healthcare experience, including more than a decade spent in the fast-paced and demanding environment of the emergency room. During her time in the ER, she witnessed the immense challenges patients face when navigating the conventional healthcare system. Stacy’s firsthand experience revealed a troubling pattern: patients waiting for hours in overcrowded, stressful environments, only to receive temporary solutions that failed to address the root cause of their concerns. Many would return to the ER weeks later, caught in a cycle of frustration and uncertainty. The same issues were prevalent in primary care, where rushed visits, long wait times, and one-size-fits-all approaches left patients feeling unheard and unsupported, without a clear plan to address their health. Motivated to provide a better solution, Stacy focuses her practice with rooted belief that every patient deserves time, understanding, and a personalized approach to care. At Remedy Functional Medicine, patients receive more than symptom management—they receive thorough assessments, individualized plans, and tools to address the root causes of their health concerns. By focusing on prevention, metabolic health, and whole-body wellness, Stacy helps her patients regain control of their health while avoiding unnecessary prescriptions or emergency visits. Stacy’s mission is to bridge the gaps in conventional medicine, offering a compassionate and empowering approach that ensures patients never feel like a number. Through Remedy Functional Medicine, she delivers the kind of care that prioritizes connection, clarity, and lasting results.
