Midlife Revival

Hormones, Heartache, and Healing: Why I Built a Practice Just for Midlife Women

Dr. Taniqua Miller Season 3 Episode 4

What happens when a certified menopause expert—who’s spent years treating midlife women with compassion and clinical brilliance—suddenly finds herself… stuck, uncertain, and not feeling like herself?

In this raw, honest, and affirming solo episode, Dr. Taniqua Miller pulls back the curtain on her own perimenopausal journey—yes, the hot flashes, irritability, bone-deep exhaustion, and the head-scratching question: “Is this grief, stress… or something hormonal?”

Spoiler: It was perimenopause.
 And even with all the credentials in the world, she still struggled to know what to do next.

This episode is a love letter to every midlife woman who’s ever felt overlooked, dismissed, or told to just “wait it out.” Dr. Miller unpacks:

  • Why even the most educated women feel confused in midlife
  • How the traditional healthcare system is failing women over 40
  • What it means to create a true midlife medical home—where your care isn’t rushed, your story matters, and your healing is personalized
  • The origin story of Revival Women’s Health—and why she’s building a practice rooted in partnership, not prescriptions

This one’s for the woman who's tired of feeling invisible, unwell, or unsure—and ready to come home to herself.
