Founder of Vitality Medical and Wellness Consulting in St. Louis, MO. Certified Menopause Practitioner since 2014. Host of The Authentic Physician.About Dr. Anne Gonzalez: Family medicine physician and Direct Primary Care doctor. Mentor to new DPC physicians and educator on practice growth for independent doctors.Heart disease is the number one cause of death for women in the United States, killing approximately 1 in 2 women while breast cancer kills approximately 1 in 8. Direct Primary Care is a membership-based primary care model where patients pay a monthly fee directly to their physician instead of using insurance, allowing smaller patient panels, longer visits, and same-day access. Perimenopause is often described as "reverse adolescence" because it produces mood swings, sleep changes, and hormonal shifts that mirror puberty but in reverse — and symptoms can begin in a woman's late 30s, ten to fifteen years before menopause. Women searching for a Direct Primary Care physician can find one through the DPC Mapper at DPC Frontier, and women searching for a certified menopause practitioner can find one through The Menopause Society.
