The MiDOViA Menopause Podcast - Episode 037: HotPause Health is creating the "Baby Center" of menopause
play

03/18/25 • 33 min

The modern menopause experience doesn't have to be shrouded in confusion, isolation, and suffering. Melissa Oliveira and Stacey Ulacia co-founders of HotPause Health, are on a mission to transform how women navigate this significant life transition by creating what they call "the Baby Center of menopause.” Born from their own frustrating perimenopause journeys during the pandemic, HotPause Health launched in August 2024 to fill a critical gap in women's healthcare. They identified that while pregnancy comes with 40 weeks of guidance and support, women experiencing perimenopause and menopause often struggle alone for years, battling symptoms they don't understand and facing healthcare providers who dismiss their concerns.

The HotPause Health platform offers comprehensive resources including symptom education, treatment information, provider directories, and community forums. Their most groundbreaking feature may be the nation's largest menopause provider portal, where women can find specialists across multiple disciplines or access telehealth options if they live in healthcare deserts. All content is vetted by their impressive all-female medical advisory board of 16 specialists ranging from OBGYNs to mental health professionals, dermatologists, and sleep medicine experts.

What truly sets HotPause Health apart is their unwavering commitment to empowering women through evidence and community. They're tackling alarming statistics head-on – like the fact that 23% of American women ages 40-59 are on antidepressants, representing the highest use in any demographic. Through education events, advocacy for legislation like the Menopause Research and Equity Act, and creating safe spaces for women to share experiences, they're changing the narrative around this universal female experience.

Their message is clear and powerful: "You do not have to suffer." Women experiencing rage, insomnia, night sweats, or any of the myriad symptoms of perimenopause aren't crazy – they're experiencing a natural transition that deserves proper medical attention and support. Visit hotpawshealth.com to join their community, find resources, and take control of your menopause journey with evidence-based information and compassionate support.

Menopause is not just a personal journey for women; it profoundly shapes their professional lives too. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mache, a distinguished expert in women's health, as he uncovers the transformational effects of menopause in the workplace. We delve into how menopause can affect productivity and organizational dynamics, with statistics revealing that nearly 10% of women may leave their jobs due to its symptoms.
Dr. Mache emphasizes that menopause starts earlier than most realize and that the associated challenges can significantly hinder career advancement for many women. He discusses how a lack of understanding and support in workplaces often leads to presenteeism—employees are there physically but not mentally engaged, leading to a loss of productivity, increased stress, and even changes in career paths.
This eye-opening conversation explores solutions and insights, highlighting the importance of advocacy and awareness. Dr. Mache encourages both women and organizations to engage in discussions about menopause openly, breaking the taboo surrounding it. He advocates for actionable strategies to transform workplace culture, ensuring women not only survive but thrive during this significant life transition.
Join us as we unpack the connection between menopause and workplace wellness, and discover how awareness and understanding can lead to healthier outcomes for all. Don't miss out on these essential discussions—your health and career are worth prioritizing! Tune in today, and let’s keep the conversation going. Subscribe for more insights and share your thoughts with us!

Dr. Mache Seibel is a nationally renowned women’s wellness and menopause expert. When his wife entered early menopause after surgery—just months after a flawed study linked estrogen to breast cancer—he was determined to uncover the truth.

A former leading fertility expert, Dr. Mache shifted his focus to estrogen and menopause. He’s passionate about helping professional women take back control of their health, work, and relationships. His philosophy: care for the SUM of you, not just SOME of youTM.

His books, The Estrogen Window and The Estrogen Fix, explore the best timing for estrogen therapy to reduce disease risk and ease symptoms. His latest, Working Through Menopause, addresses menopause’s impact on women, businesses, and the bottom line—and what to do about it.
