BURN THE RULEBOOK MENOPAUSE SERIES EPISODE #4 | Rethinking Midlife Health with Dana Culp
Sunday, 12 April, 2026
Menopause is often treated like a mysterious door women suddenly walk through. One day everything feels normal. The next day your body seems to be speaking a language you do not recognize. In this episode of the Burn the Rulebook Menopause Series, Misty sits down with Dana Culp, a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner and founder of Thrive Midlife Medicine, to talk about what is really happening during perimenopause and menopause. Dana shares how her own confusing and frustrating health journey led her to specialize in midlife hormonal care after being repeatedly dismissed by healthcare providers despite working in medicine herself. That experience lit a fire in her to help women access better information, better care, and real support during this stage of life. Together Misty and Dana explore the myths, the overlooked symptoms, and the powerful shift that happens when women start advocating for themselves and learning what their bodies are truly experiencing. This conversation is both educational and deeply validating for anyone wondering why things suddenly feel different in their body. In This Episode we explore: • Why so many women feel dismissed when seeking help for perimenopause symptoms • The surprising reason Dana finally sought help during her own experience • Why menopause is technically just one day and what actually happens during perimenopause • The hormonal fluctuations that create the chaos many women experience • Why many doctors receive little education about menopause during medical training • The power imbalance that often exists between patients and medical providers • Why women need to see themselves as part of their own healthcare team • How to pre screen providers to find someone knowledgeable about midlife hormones • The biggest myths about hormone therapy including the long standing cancer misconception • Why perimenopause symptoms can begin in your thirties • The often overlooked symptoms including anxiety, brain fog, body pain, and weight changes • Why symptom tracking can be a powerful tool for understanding what is happening in your body • The three main approaches women can explore for support including hormonal, non hormonal, and lifestyle options • The importance of thinking about both immediate symptom relief and long term health A Few Powerful Takeaways One of the most important reminders Dana shares is simple but profound. It is not your fault. Many women blame themselves when their body begins to change. They assume they are not trying hard enough, eating well enough, exercising enough, or managing stress well enough. But perimenopause is a biological transition driven by hormonal shifts. Understanding what is happening can remove the shame and open the door to real support. Another key insight is the importance of curiosity and self-advocacy. Asking questions, exploring options, and building a healthcare team that listens can completely change a woman's experience during midlife. Resources Mentioned Dana offers a perimenopause quiz on her website that can help women begin identifying whether their symptoms might be connected to hormonal changes. She also shares educational resources and workshops designed to help women better understand midlife health.
