Menopause Medical Gaslighting, How to Finally Be Heard

Dr. Efrat Lamandre

Have you’ve ever been told your labs are normal, but you still feel like garbage…or you’ve walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, confused, or totally unheard…then this episode is for you.

 

We cover:

  • Why medical gaslighting happens more often in menopause

  • The hidden limitation in conventional medical training

  • What “normal labs” actually mean (and don’t mean)

  • How to build the right healthcare team for complex symptoms

  • How to get the menopause care you need and finally be heard…guaranteed

 

Dr. Efrat LaMandre, known as Dr. E, is a nationally recognized nurse practitioner who calls out a problem most patients recognize instantly but few clinicians are trained to name: medical gaslighting. Her work examines why patients are dismissed when tests are normal, and why “you’re fine” so often becomes the end of the conversation. She is also the host of the Medical Disruptor podcast, where she brings clinicians, researchers, and public health leaders into honest conversations about trust, power, and the limits of what medicine currently measures.
