Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski

If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Know: A GP’s Case for Making Menopause Care a Practice Priority Featuring Dr. Danielle Hunte, EP 251

Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the physician best positioned to help women through perimenopause is the one they’re already seeing — their GP? In this episode, Tracy sits down with Dr. Danielle Hunte, a general practitioner from Barbados and founder of Midlife Meridian, to explore exactly that.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  With nearly 30 years in medicine and over 20 in private practice, Danielle went through perimenopause herself — and even as a physician, it caught her off guard. That experience sparked a new mission: closing the gap in menopause care and education, for both patients and the GPs who treat them.  In this episode, you’ll hear why GPs are uniquely positioned to manage menopause (it’s not a one-system problem), the simple screening tool Dr. Danielle developed that revealed a silent cohort of symptomatic patients, and her vision for a “practice-in-a-box” digital resource for other providers. You’ll also hear a really honest conversation about sustainability — what it means to build a second revenue stream, protect your time, and keep showing up creatively so the practice doesn’t swallow you whole.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy’s LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page
