Confessions of a Menopause Specialist: What I Got Wrong in Midlife Care

Dr. Taniqua Miller Season 3 Episode 5

Ever wonder why your doctor might miss the signs of perimenopause—or worse, tell you it’s just stress, anxiety, or “getting older”? In this candid episode, Dr. Taniqua Miller shares her own confession: when she first started out, she was bad at menopause care. Really bad.

She takes you behind the scenes of her early career as an OB/GYN, where the training focused on labor & delivery and surgery—but barely touched on the complexities of menopause. Dr. T gets real about the moments when she missed the clues, how women’s voices often get dismissed in traditional healthcare, and why she’s building Revival Women’s Wellness to do things differently.

You’ll learn:

  • Why joint pain, mood swings, and brain fog are not just stress or aging
  • The surprising role of estrogen in inflammation, mood regulation, and memory
  • How most doctors are undertrained in menopause care—and what that means for you
  • Why your symptoms deserve to be heard, taken seriously, and treated holistically

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or shuffled out of the exam room with nothing but ibuprofen or “just relax” as advice—this episode is for you.
