What if trauma from your past is impacting your health today—and no one’s talking about it? Join me and Dr. Heather Quaile as we talk about the essential truths about trauma-informed care and midlife health.

Heather, a seasoned nurse practitioner and sexual medicine expert, shares her journey from traditional healthcare to creating a compassionate, patient-centered approach that addresses the real-life challenges women face, especially in midlife.

We dive into how trauma—whether it’s from childhood, medical experiences, or societal pressures—can manifest in symptoms like severe menopause and chronic pain. Heather breaks down the "big T" and "little t" traumas and explains how acknowledging these experiences can transform patient care. We also discuss the power of the ACE score (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how it should be a part of every clinician's toolkit.

Heather shares her experience working with trafficking survivors, addressing not just the immediate medical needs but the long-term emotional recovery these patients require. Her work highlights the importance of creating safe, empowering healthcare environments that consider the whole patient—mind, body, and history.

We also discuss why finding the right provider for midlife care is crucial and how to identify clinicians who prioritize evidence-based, patient-centered treatment. From understanding the principles of trauma-informed care to advocating for your health, this episode is packed with practical advice and deep insights.

Join us for an enlightening conversation that challenges the status quo and reminds us all of the importance of compassionate, informed care.

Highlights:

  • The connection between trauma and worsening menopause symptoms.
  • What trauma-informed care means and why it’s vital in healthcare settings.
  • How ACE scores help identify patients at higher risk for chronic health conditions.
  • Heather’s work with trafficking survivors and lessons for all healthcare providers.
  • Tips for finding the right provider for midlife and sexual health.
