## Resource

In this Meet the Nurse Practitioner episode of Per and Pause, nurse practitioner Jaime Davis shares how her background in primary care and labor and delivery shaped her patient-centered approach and her focus on midlife women’s care. She discusses how perimenopause is often missed because symptoms can look like stress or anxiety, and highlights early signs such as brain fog, insomnia, word-finding difficulty, and menstrual changes influenced by hormone fluctuations like declining progesterone. Jaime recounts her own experience of years of severe pain after a traumatic C-section that was initially dismissed, later diagnosed as subcutaneous endometriosis and resolved with a short surgery, underscoring the importance of trusting your body and finding providers who listen. She explains her commitment to connecting symptoms, tailoring plans to patient goals, and helping women feel heard, supported, and empowered. 00:00 Meet Jaime Davis 00:54 Labor and Delivery Lessons 02:24 Path to Midlife Care 03:50 Why Perimenopause Gets Missed 06:47 Dismissed Pain Story 11:08 Finding the Real Cause 13:29 What Listening Really Means 15:27 Beyond Rigid Guidelines 16:56 Early Perimenopause Clues 17:06 Brain Fog Sleep Anxiety 19:46 Symptoms Are Connected 21:29 Menopause Education Gaps 23:45 Care After Dismissal 25:10 The Peri Pause Experience 26:15 Closing Thanks Farewell ------ This podcast exists to normalize, explain, and elevate the midlife healthcare conversation—so women feel informed, believed, and empowered to demand better care for their bodies and lives.
