I’m Miranda Zuhlke, PA-C, DMSc, and long before I built an independent menopause and sexual health practice, I learned firsthand what it feels like to sit on the other side of the exam table.

​

I’ve never been one to shy away from the hard sh*t. From serving in Iraq to navigating infertility and repeated loss, I know firsthand what it’s like to be let down by the systems that are supposed to be on your side.

​

And when it’s your body, your future, and your life being discussed, being dismissed or handed incomplete answers isn’t good enough.

​

Throughout my career in medicine, I’ve built my expertise around the areas where women have been overlooked for far too long. While earning my Doctorate in Medical Science, my research examined the myths and misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy that continue to influence the way women are treated today.

 

I’ve since dedicated my work to menopause, midlife, and sexual health. From changing the conversations on stages to believing the women who walk into my exam room and equipping other industry professionals to do the same, I built Midlife Rising to advocate for and empower midlife women at every level.
