For many people who have always dreamt of being doctors, the reality of practicing medicine has turned into a nightmare. That's because of physician burnout, a crisis that continues to be a huge cause for concern.   From overworking and physical depletion to emotional exhaustion and detachment - these are just some of the struggles physicians are faced with on a daily basis. Unlike burnout in other professions, healthcare has in-built structures that make doctors more prone to it and less likely to say they have a problem.   Physician burnout has far reaching effects that make it a public health crisis. Cynical, angry and resentful doctors drive patients away. Doctors who don't feel engaged are more likely to leave the field altogether. But the biggest problem is burnout is leading to self-harm, addiction and even suicide in physicians.   Why are physicians more prone to burnout? How can we combat it at a personal level and then at the systemic level?   In this episode, I'm joined by board-certified physician Dr Yashika Dooley, who understands firsthand the frustrations and challenges faced by physicians as she works as a Life Coach for physicians, many of who struggle with burnout.   If you're used to working hard and grinding, you'll keep leaning on that habit, even if it's not the best one. You might even feel like you'll be a failure if you don't overwork and grind. -Dr. Yashika Dooley    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Why the dream of medicine is turning into a nightmare Combating physician burnout isn't just a matter of keeping more doctors in their jobs. It's about saving lives and families. What are some of the huge ramifications of this health crisis?    -The struggles doctors face From the pressures of different specialties to expectations that have nothing to do with quality of care, what systemic structures keep burn out in place?   -Normalized self-neglect As physicians, we're conditioned to avoid showing weakness, even to our own detriment. How do we remove that mask and change what it means to be a good doctor?   Guest Bio Yashika Dooley is a board certified OBGYN, regional medical director for Gennev and Life Coach for doctors. She helps doctors who are frustrated with the day-to-day challenges of their job feel less stressed, have more control and be more confident in their work and life.

In today's episode, we will be discussing the Importance of Women's Health and Well-Being in the Workplace and a very crucial, yet overlooked topic - menopause. Menopause tends to affect women at the peak of their careers. Its symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and migraines cause women to silently suffer this "workplace taboo"  causing many women to leave the workforce altogether. Our Women in Digital host Christine Stack, Head of HR for Capgemini CIS Americas, sits down with three women to share their personal experiences and offer support, information, and resources to other women: - Jill Angelo who is the CEO and Founder of Gennev, the nation's largest virtual menopause clinic and was named one of Inc.'s 2021 Top Female Founders - Jill Weber who leads Capgemini's Global Partnership Relationship with ServiceNow - Carla Heimbigner who is a Global Partner Leader at ServiceNow and 100% dedicated to Capgemini We hope that this discussion normalizes menopause in the workplace, encourages allies and employers to understand and support those with menopausal symptoms, and empowers women to take control of their health and well-being. The Women in Digital Podcast is led by the Women@Capgemini Employee Resource Group, whose mission is to cultivate and sustain a culture where women can thrive at Capgemini. We provide growth through leadership, excellence, action, and development by empowering women and men to work together to bridge the gender gap. The Women in Digital podcasts will be an informative, enlightening, entertaining and open forum to challenge the norm and embrace women. It will offer a chance to connect with our audience, build valuable connections, and challenge everyday thinking of topics that effect Women. The podcast host will interview both an internal and external stakeholders, asking a few thought-provoking questions to invoke a passionate discussion in each episode.

In this episode you will discover: Why menopause is such an important time in a woman's life to pay attention to her health careWhy telemedicine is perfect for menopause careWhy millennial demand for personalized reproductive services will continue as they move into their 40-50s and what that means for workplacesKey Takeaways: Menopause is not a disease, it's a natural phase of life and it impacts the quality of life for many women. They need to find resources so that they could find relief sooner. Hormone therapy is a real savior for many women who qualify for it, but the process of understanding the decision to go for it or not involves continuous patient-provider conversations. Alleviating the symptoms of menopause would mean determining a solution that's specific for the individual as not every woman experiences the same symptoms. There must also be lifestyle changes. Menopause is an uncomfortable topic for most people and that's why telehealth is perfect for it. The trend right now regarding menopause is that there's a lot of curiosity around it both from employees and employers. Everyone's trying to educate themselves. We must lean hard into those conversations and make healthcare for menopause more accessible to all. “Women in their forties and fifties are at the pinnacle of their careers. Let's empower them so that they can continue to be the kinds of leaders that organizations need, and at the same time, just make them feel better and improve the way healthcare is supported for women in their post-reproductive years. - Jill Angelo, CEO of GennevResources: Website: https://www.gennev.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillangelo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jillangelo NY Times Article mentioned in the discussion: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/magazine/menopause-hot-flashes-hormone-therapy.html Learn more from Carrie and Rebecca: Healthcare Insights (a monthly deep dive into specific topics for innovators): https://nixongwiltlaw.com/healthcare-insightsTelehealth/Virtual Care Mgmt Update (a biweekly LinkedIn newsletter tracking legal and policy changes across the nation): https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/telehealth-virtual-care-update-6901900767960068096/ Website: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/ Carrie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrienixon/ Rebecca on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccagwilt/NGL on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nixon-gwilt-law/

Jill Angelo is the co-founder and CEO of Gennev, a virtual care platform for menopause in the US. Jill spotted an opportunity six years ago, and although Gennev started out a little different than it has ended up, they were one of the first companies to become a leader in this space. And over the pandemic Gennev pivoted to providing education and telemedicine for menopause relief to thousands of women via one-on-one and group visits through a team of ob/gyns and registered dietitians. And they must have done something right: because, the company was recently acquired by Unified Health Care Group – one of the first acquisitions in the new fast-growing menopause space.Highlights:• What happened when she noticed people leaving the workforce• What women in the workplace who are going through menopause need from their employers • The gifts menopause brings us • How her perimenopause is going at 48•  How Gennev started selling a lubricant and morphed into telehealth and HRT during the pandemic• How menopause treatment is unique to each person • What changes she's seen in the menopause conversation • Her take on the safety of HRT right now • The menopause research she's most excited about • What annoys her about celebrities and menopause  • Why she wants every woman to get an M-check starting at 45 • How she got over her nerves talking about menopause Where to find Gennev: Web: Gennev.comInstagram: @mygennevTwitter: @mygennevSPONSORS: Become anti-flush cooling clothing | Now shipping to the US! | Use code HOTFLASHINC to get a 20 percent discount Join the Hotflash Inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincTwitter: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information

Tamsen Fadal and Jo Lamarca Mathisen call themselves Meno Sisters. They hit it off after a mutual friend "thrust them together" because of how much they both seemed to enjoy talking about menopause, and have remained extremely close ever since. Tamsen is an Emmy award-winning journalist and NYC news anchor who recently created #MenopauseTok on TikTok to bring creators together to share their menopause journey, and Jo (who has also won a few Emmys!) is the former Executive Producer of Today with Hoda & Jenna. They are now working together on a documentary called It's Not Me…It's (Me)nopause. We are thrilled to have them on the show for the second half of Menopause Awareness Month because, like us, they value the importance of spreading essential information about women's health in midlife, and they do it with humor wherever possible. We talk about the difficulties of working in television while experiencing brain fog, hot flashes, and anxiety, we ponder the discrepancy in our mental age and the age of our knees, and we spout off pithy aphorisms best suited for wall art made of wood.

In this episode of The Connected Care Team, Jill Angelo, founder and CEO of Gennev, discusses the importance of education around menopause, integrated care models, and virtual care opportunities. Jill explains how technology provides value when addressing the gaps in resources and support for menopausal women. Gennev's mission Menopause is a hormonal shift every woman goes through, starting in her forties. Although it is a condition that affects all women, there is little education and support available. Jill Angelo created Gennev to address this gap in women's healthcare. The clinic's mission is to improve the standard of care for women experiencing menopause by increasing access to support and quality care. “We surveyed 1,500 women to really understand where did you go for your menopause education? You know, how'd you learn about it? And the overriding insight in that research was ‘I was unprepared.'” - Jill Angelo, CEO of Gennev Integrated care in menopause Gennev's purpose is deeply rooted in integrated care with dedicated healthcare experts on staff. OBGYNs provide medical guidance, diagnosis, and even prescription support. A team of health coaches and registered dieticians address nutrition, fitness, sleep, and mindfulness. With Gennev's model, women can see a doctor and a health coach and continue to work with that coach monthly on a unique plan created just for them.Additionally, Gennev has used innovation to set up an online menopause assessment. The data collected provides valuable information about women, solving the current industry gap of lack of sufficient intelligence to help support women better.  “When you think about ‘how do you bring women relief from their experience in menopause?' You've got to think about the whole person in whole-person care. And so our model is all about integrated care.

Much of what is thought about hormone replacement therapy is outdated and untrue. We do a deep dive into what is HRT, what are the benefits, and who should and should not be taking it. What happens during a women's hormone journey from childhood to post-menopausal? How are hormones and a woman's brain connected? What happens in a women's body during menopause? What is hormone replacement therapy? Does HRT increase the risk of breast cancer? What is the relation between hormones and the cardiovascular system? How does menopause impact sleep? Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su is the Medical Director of Menopause services at the Women's Wellness and Gyn Specialties Clinic at Swedish Medical Center. She is also the Chief Medical Officer at Gennev. Dr. Dunsmoor-Su joins us on the SuperAge podcast for an information-dense episode all about menopause. She explains what happens leading up to and during menopause, some of the symptoms like weight gain, trouble sleeping, brain fog, and how they are addressed, how we can use hormone replacement therapy to improve symptoms and longevity for women post-menopause, and much more. What you will learn in this episode:What a woman's body goes through in terms of hormones from childhood all the way through post-menopause The impact of menopause on the brainEverything we need to know about hormone replacement therapy and some of the myths around itHow menopause impacts sleep and what can help How menopause impacts brain health and the cardiovascular system “Estrogen replacement does not cause breast cancer. And I like to shout that from the rooftops. We have many studies that tell us that estrogen replacement does not cause breast cancer.” “Women who start hormone replacement therapy within 5 years of their last period actually reduce their cardiovascular risk. They also slightly reduce their risk of colon cancer and they reduce their all cause mortality overtime.” “When women are transitioning through menopause, we're talking about 5-10 years of disrupted sleep. That's a lot of impact to the brain.” “Menopause is fine and functional if you're going to live to be 65. You've got 10 years to survive menopause, you're going to be okay. We live to 95, 100, 105! That's a long time, that's almost half your life without the hormones that sort of keep things going. So I think that we need to adjust.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su: https://swedishfoundation.org/frontline-Dunsmoor-Su LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-dunsmoor-su-92a4997b/ Check out the app, CBT-i Coach, that Dr. Dunsmoor-Su recommends for at home Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cbt-i-coach/id655918660 

You are not alone!It started with a simple survey to 1500 women in various stages of menopause. Our goal was to learn what solutions women used to find relief from their menopause symptoms. Instead, we learned that women weren't prepared for menopause, they were embarrassed, they felt dismissed by their doctors, they felt alone. With this information, we researched and spoke with medical and behavioral health experts and built a telehealth menopause clinic.Our team of menopause doctors and health coaches serve patients in all 50 states. Our free education is changing the way women view menopause.During World Menopause Month, Gennev launched a walking program to get women moving - no matter where they are in their fitness journey.

Nina talks with Stephanie O'dell After 10 years of fashion styling with Athleta and Stitch Fix, Stephanie O'Dell began a blog called Celebrate The Gray. After speaking with1000's of women aged 50+, she realized the visuals and stories women are given as they age are messages of anti-aging vs pro-aging. She knew something had to change and that the age models advertisers were using needed to be updated. Stephanie founded Celebrate The Gray, a full service agency for and about the 50+ woman, she represents over 45 gray haired models and works with companies to use real faces and authentic stories of positive aging. She is passionate about updating the face of aging for the 50+ woman and showing her the possibilities of positive aging. Working with brands like Athleta, Kikoko, Gennev, Revel, Rinvoq. Stephanie has been a speaker at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club, Gennev, YWCA, Rotary, interviewed on numerous podcasts (The Rant, Brand Fifty, Mean Magazine, Badass Women) and featured in local and national press (AARP “DIsrupt Aging”, California Live). Stephanie hosts a bi-monthy speaking series “How She Revels” for Revel and is a featured podcast contributor for Brand Fifty, brandfifty.com. She lives in Northern California with her husband and has a son and daughter who now view age with a different lens.

Inspired by the example of her grandmother and the stories she heard about aging and limitations, Stephanie  O'Dell embarked on the journey of shifting focus from her 10 year career styling women to representing them.  Recognizing the lack of opportunity and representation for women over 50, Stephanie began a blog called Celebrate The Gray.  She realized the visuals and stories women are given as they age are messages of anti-aging vs pro-aging.  She knew something had to change.  After 10 years of fashion styling with Athleta and Stitch Fix Stephanie founded her Celebrate The Gray company, a full service agency for and about the 50+ woman.  Stephanie represents over 45 gray haired models and works with companies to use real faces and authentic stories of positive aging. She is passionate about updating the face of aging for the 50+ woman and showing the possibilities of positive aging working with brands like Athleta, Kikoko, Gennev, Revel.  Stephanie has been a speaker at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club, Gennev, YWCA, Rotary, interviewed on numerous podcasts (The Rant, Brand Fifty, Mean Magazine) and featured in local and national press (AARP “DIsrupt Aging”).   Stephanie hosts a bi-monthy speaking series “How She Revels” for Revel and is a featured podcast contributor for Brand Fifty, brandfifty.com. What You Will Hear in This Episode How and why Stephanie created her 50 plus agency. Shaming, aging and normalizing and rewriting  the messaging around grey. Brands and authentic representation. Aspirational marketing, anti-aging messaging vs positive messaging. The challenge of selling the concept of the power and importance of 50 plus woman. Promoting the positive aspects of aging. Ageism in the workplace and working towards embracing positive aging. Jane Fonda The effect of Stephanie’s mission and experience on her own life. Shifting from focusing on the end goal to focusing on daily accomplishments. Lifting limitations. Quotes: “There is this power behind gray hair.” “Gray equals old primarily for women…...Men are distinguished and women are old.”  “We buy into the age denial.” “You can’t be what you don’t see.” “I’ve learned to be patient and believe in the path that I’m on.” “Listen to what the universe is serving you.” “If you’re doing something you are passionate about, stick with it and it will work out.” Mentioned: Not Done Yet!

Their doctors, health coaches, wellness products and community specialize in supporting women through their perimenopause and post menopause years. Gennev’s approach is a holistic one — they take into account the physical as well as the emotional to provide the best treatment strategy. “You don’t need to suffer. And most women kind of suffer in silence.”“Your general healthcare needs to consider body and mind. And I think you’re going to start to see a melding of the two coming together versus “I go to my therapist for my emotional wellbeing, or my counselor, or whomever. And I go to my primary care physician for everything physical.” “In our care model, we give you access to a doctor and to a health coach and also to a therapist if you need that as well. They’re your care team.”“Any group of people that’s going through transition needs community.” “‘Gen’ is ‘generation’ and ‘nev’ in old Irish means “radiant”. So we really see ourselves as supporting this next generation of women through the most radiant years of their lives.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you stream your podcasts. Learn more about Gennev: https://gennev.comJoin Gennev’s private Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/midlifemenopausesolutionsFollow Gennev @mygennev on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook

The danger of the reductive eating disorder image is never more apparent when discussing EDs in midlife and beyond. Because an aging body is increasingly more inflexible when facing physical damage, the risks associated with an ED are heightened. Dangers include disruption of heart function, diminishing cognitive ability, and osteoporosis (among others). All risks may be precluded or worsened by disordered eating and often overshadow the incidence of EDs, making detection and diagnosis more difficult.    Bibliography (show notes): “Causes of Middle-Aged Women Eating Disorders.” Eating Disorder Hope, 30 June 2017, www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-for-eating-disorders/special-issues/older-women/causes.

February is Heart Health month, and here are a few things you need to know but might not: Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the United States, far outpacing breast cancer. Estrogen is protective of the heart - it relaxes arteries and promotes the "good" kind of cholesterol. Ten years post-menopause, a woman's risk of heart disease is equal to a man's. Women are more likely to die due to heart attack because our assumptions about what heart attacks "look like" are based largely on men's symptoms - not women's. So women often don't seek treatment or are misdiagnosed. That's enough of the bad news. Here's some good news instead. Nutrition, exercise, and attention to gut health can go a long way toward reducing your risk of heart disease (and this is true of everyone at every age). In this conversation with bariatric surgeon and gut-health expert Dr. Erika La Vella, Gennev Director of Health Coaching Stasi Kasianchuk asks the questions YOU need the answers to: how to maximize gut health to have a healthier heart. You can find Dr. La Vella at lavellayourguts.com. You can make an appointment with Coach Stasi or any of our Dietitian Nutritionist coaches at Gennev.com/plans.

I don't want to get too big. I can't lift. I'm too tired by the end of the day. I did it once but didn't see results, so I quit. Resistance training may not be your thing, but if you're a woman over 40, you might take another look at it.  It's great for so many things: building and maintaining muscle mass. Helping you sleep better at night. Helping you manage midlife and menopause concerns like weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, poor balance, and weakening bones.  You know as you get older that your body changes: muscles shrink, metabolism slows, body can look and feel less toned. Resistance training, done right, can help with those things, as well as improve core strength for better balance and generally lift your mood and confidence. In this podcast, Gennev Director of Health Coaching Stasi Kasianchuk speaks with owner and founder of Driven Fitness, Erica Roselius. A full-time fitness professional and coach for more than 13 years, Erica works primarily with over 40s to help them manage weight and increase muscle.  Why is it so important for women to incorporate resistance training? How can they benefit, and what risks do they take if they don't move more? Listen, then find Erica at Driven Fitness and Stasi at Gennev for more information. 

You've been having hot flashes for a while. You still have periods, but sometimes you might go a month or two with nothing. You haven't felt much joy lately, sleep doesn't come as easily as it used to, and you're tired all the way to your bones. How long is all of this going to last? There's no hormone test that will tell you where you are in your menopause transition. Unfortunately, in perimenopause when symptoms first start to appear, your hormones are fluctuating so much, you might test as menopausal today but not tomorrow. That doesn't mean you just grit your teeth and hope it's not the "20 years" you've heard about from others. Gennev's unique menopause assessment looks at your symptoms, your medical history, and your cycles to help you understand where you are -- and what might be coming next. Knowing where you are means you understand when the changes in your body are normal and when they maybe signal a need for some medical attention. Knowing means you can prepare for the symptoms that may follow.  In this podcast, OB/GYN, Chief Medical Officer, and menopause specialist Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su talks with Gennev CEO Jill Angelo about the Menopause Assessment she created for Gennev. They discuss the science behind it, the benefits of the data collected for both the woman who took it and the women who are coming up to perimenopause behind her.  They also take on the issue of privacy with personal data and the many ways Gennev can help women have an easier, healthier menopause. Curious? Take the free Gennev Menopause Assessment and find out where you are in your menopause transition.

Menopause is the big M-word every woman experiences, but no one talks about it. In the realm of women's health, we're usually more focused on pregnancy and childbirth.  There's a societal aversion to talking about menopause, and the physical and emotional changes we go through. This does women a huge disservice. If we don't talk about menopause enough, it's hard to find the solutions we need, and celebrate this time in our lives.  What changes can we expect in menopause? How do we accept this new normal, feel more at home in a changing body, and manage the symptoms? How does this phase of our life set the tone for our health as we age? In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Angelo, the CEO and founder of Gennev, the first-ever online clinic for women in menopause. We talk about this very important subject in women's health, and how to navigate it with positive discussions.  Guest Bio  Jill is the CEO and founder of Gennev whose mission is to empower women to take control of their health. Gennev is the first-ever online clinic for women in menopause and offers telemedicine access to OBGYNs, menopause health coaches, wellness products, and free education. Prior to running Gennev, Jill had a 20-year career in tech, with 15 of those years spent at Microsoft in executive roles such as Chief of Staff to the CMO, Director of Global Media, and Product Management for Emerging Markets. Jill recently joined the Board of  Directors for Special Olympics of Washington. To take the Menopause Assessment visit https://gennev.com/assessment (https://gennev.com/assessment).

38 million women are going through menopause at any one time.  Talk about a sizeable market with high need to know.  And yet, you will hear in this interview about the barriers to entry Jill Angelo had to jump to begin her company: Male investors who go ick, women who don't want to talk about it (it means I'm getting old), gynecologists who have little training or interest in it.  With all those challenges, Jill is trying to bring menopause out of hiding and women out of silent suffering.      

Jill Angelo started her career in tech and quickly rose to become a high-level executive. But during a short sabbatical break, Jill realized she wanted to have a greater impact on society. Astounded by the lack of essential resources available for women, she founded Gennev, an online healthcare service that helps women entering the second half of their lives take control of their health. With online consultations, articles, and other services, Jill Angelo is breaking social norms and changing the way we approach healthcare in the 21st century.
