The modern menopause experience doesn't have to be shrouded in confusion, isolation, and suffering. Melissa Oliveira and Stacey Ulacia co-founders of HotPause Health, are on a mission to transform how women navigate this significant life transition by creating what they call "the Baby Center of menopause.” Born from their own frustrating perimenopause journeys during the pandemic, HotPause Health launched in August 2024 to fill a critical gap in women's healthcare. They identified that while pregnancy comes with 40 weeks of guidance and support, women experiencing perimenopause and menopause often struggle alone for years, battling symptoms they don't understand and facing healthcare providers who dismiss their concerns.

The HotPause Health platform offers comprehensive resources including symptom education, treatment information, provider directories, and community forums. Their most groundbreaking feature may be the nation's largest menopause provider portal, where women can find specialists across multiple disciplines or access telehealth options if they live in healthcare deserts. All content is vetted by their impressive all-female medical advisory board of 16 specialists ranging from OBGYNs to mental health professionals, dermatologists, and sleep medicine experts.

What truly sets HotPause Health apart is their unwavering commitment to empowering women through evidence and community. They're tackling alarming statistics head-on – like the fact that 23% of American women ages 40-59 are on antidepressants, representing the highest use in any demographic. Through education events, advocacy for legislation like the Menopause Research and Equity Act, and creating safe spaces for women to share experiences, they're changing the narrative around this universal female experience.

Their message is clear and powerful: "You do not have to suffer." Women experiencing rage, insomnia, night sweats, or any of the myriad symptoms of perimenopause aren't crazy – they're experiencing a natural transition that deserves proper medical attention and support.
