Hot Flashes, Cold Facts: The Truth About Midlife Health

This week on Inside Northwest Columbus, I’m sitting down with someone who is changing the way women experience midlife. Courtney Shihabuddin, founder of Empowered Wellness, has built a practice that speaks directly to women who feel like their bodies are shifting and no one is really listening.If you’ve ever wondered whether the exhaustion, mood swings, sleep issues, weight changes, or “something just feels off” moments are normal — you’re not alone. And you’re definitely not imagining it. Courtney specializes in helping women navigate perimenopause and midlife health with real answers, compassion, and a completely personalized approach.What makes her practice stand out is her telehealth model — designed for women who don’t have time to sit in waiting rooms or repeat their story to providers who dismiss their symptoms. With Courtney, you get thoughtful, evidence-based care that actually fits into your life.In this episode, we dig into the symptoms women often overlook, why so many feel dismissed by the traditional healthcare system, what hormone therapy really is (and isn’t), and how to reclaim your energy, confidence, and well-being during the years when your body is changing the most.If you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s — or you love someone who is — this conversation will give you clarity, comfort, and a much-needed sense of empowerment. Tune in… you’ll walk away feeling seen, understood, and supported.To learn more about Courtney you can read our interview in this month’s issue of Northwest Columbus Magazine at https://www.citylifestyle.com/northwestcolumbus/issues/2026-01.  To schedule an online consultation with Courtney or for more information on Empowered Wellness you can visit Courtney’s website at www.empoweredwellnessforher.com
