With over 25 years of experience, Dr. DeSplinter; board-certified in OBGYN and Obesity Medicine and certified by The Menopause Society, shares a comprehensive, compassionate approach to helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence, clarity, and support. Through her practice, Refined Women’s Health, she focuses on more than just symptom management, combining hormonal health, metabolic care, and prevention strategies to help women optimize their health and reduce risks like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. In this episode, she breaks down what’s really happening in the body during this transition, highlights symptoms that are often overlooked from joint pain and sleep changes to mood shifts and cycle irregularities, and challenges the long-standing myth that women should simply “deal with it.” With evolving treatment options and renewed access to hormone therapy, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and practical insight for women who want to feel like themselves again.
