Elisa D'Alessandro, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Here to help: “I have 20 years of experience in medicine—the last six spent as a Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in pain management, hormone replacement therapy, and weight loss. Over the years, I was frustrated to learn that gender inequality in healthcare has become the norm. Seeing generations of women suffer from menopause symptoms without focused attention and treatment has spurred me to be an advocate in helping women feel their best.”

The importance of safe spaces: “The best part of working with Midi is giving women a platform to feel comfortable talking about menopausal symptoms. The majority of women I see tell me they’ve felt embarrassed talking about their menopausal symptoms. Talking woman-to-woman, in the privacy of their own home, allows patients to speak candidly about their symptoms, ask questions, or simply just vent.”

To women who feel ignored: “You do not have to suffer. This is not in your head. Your symptoms are real and should not be ignored. There are evidence-based solutions available!”
