Musings from a Midlife MD

Hi, I’m Dr. Troutman—a physician who specializes in weight management and hormone therapy for women in Midlife.

This blog is where I put my thoughts onto digital paper- part science, part story—about navigating midlife with curiosity rather than criticism. I’ll write about hormone therapy, weight wellness, sleep, stress, and strength training from my own lens: what I’m learning, what I’m trying, what’s actually helping.

f you are navigating the changes of Midlife while juggling it all, and still trying to feel like ourselves again...

You’re not alone, and I’m so glad you’re here.

If you are interested in becoming a patient at Midlife reMDy, we would love to help!
