Menopause is having a moment

Since the early days of my medical training, I’ve been deeply committed to changing the conversation around women’s midlife health. While on maternity leave in 2018, I launched my podcast Health by Heather Hirsch to share the evidence-based guidance I wish every woman had. That mission quickly grew—from thousands of podcast downloads to a thriving YouTube community with millions of views. I’ve spent my career building trusted, accessible resources for women at every stage of midlife, because no woman should have to navigate this season alone or uninformed. Whether you prefer to listen or watch, you’ll find expert insight, real talk, and empowering tools designed to help you feel confident in your body and your choices.

A Conversation about Menopause

Expert menopause care, made for every woman.

I’m Heather Hirsch, MD, MS, MSCP, a physician, women’s health advocate, mom of three, and yes, unapologetically fueled by coffee and purpose. Since beginning my medical journey in 2006, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering both the science and the human side of caring for women—especially during the most transformative chapter of all, midlife.

I believe that hormones are not just biochemistry, but shape how we think, feel, age, and move through life. From puberty to postpartum to perimenopause and menopause, our hormonal transitions deserve attention, education, and expert care. For far too long, menopause has been dismissed or misunderstood, even in medicine. I’m here to change that.

Testimonials

Hear directly from patients

Amazing. It is such a relief to find a true expert in an area of health care that has historically and tragically been so overlooked. Peri and menopause are a big deal, mentally and physically, and it can take so so much from a woman’s life. The best money I have ever spent was booking the appointment with Dr. Hirsch.

Leanna S

I am finally sleeping again, and my hot flashes have stopped, but I worry that I have too much estrogen, my chest is feeling a bit tender, like I’m 13 again and I am getting a small hormonal breakout like I did before I would get my period. In any case, I am in my 2nd month and I am hoping by the end of the 3rd month my issues will be leveling out.

Laurie W.

I feel I have a comprehensive understanding of menopause symptoms, research results and facts, and effective management strategies. I am confidently moving forward with a plan. Within 2 weeks of low-dosage hormone replacement therapy, I stopped having hot flashes. Dr. Hursch’s expertise and guidance have empowered me to navigate my menopause with confidence and grace.

Christy M.

I feel like I have someone who is knowledgeable in this area and who I can trust with safe and effective treatment of my symptoms. I also feel very validated in that Dr. Hirsch understands how difficult it has been to deal with my symptoms.
