Our Story
I Had No Idea What Was Happening to Me.
When I first experienced perimenopause, it felt like my body was breaking down overnight. I was misdiagnosed with depression, adult ADHD, then fibromyalgia. Doctors prescribed medications that didn’t help—if anything, they made me feel worse.
For nearly two years, I struggled to get out of bed. I lost my ability to work. My family suffered alongside me. I had never felt so unlike myself, so powerless, so diminished. Worst of all? No one was talking about it.
As someone who has spent my career in healthcare communications—advocating for better patient education, especially in women’s health—it was shocking to realize how little clarity existed around menopause. Even within the medical community, menopause was an afterthought.
So, I started researching on my own. Brain fog, joint pain, low sex drive, itchy skin—it all pointed to perimenopause. Yet, because I didn’t have “classic” hot flashes, doctors never even considered it.
What I do know is this: too many women are left searching for answers, dismissed by the very professionals meant to help them.
That’s why I created Alice Health—to change the conversation, provide evidence-based answers in plain language, and ensure no woman has to navigate menopause alone.
With over 90 million women in Europe experiencing peri- and menopause, the lack of accessible, culturally relevant resources is staggering. Too often, women are left to piece together solutions from fragmented sources or suffer in silence. Neither is acceptable.
Alice Health was built to change that. A platform designed to provide trusted, science-backed resources, expert insights, and real community support. Because quality healthcare isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.
The silence ends here. The conversation starts now.

Hot Flashes
Like a flame burning from the inside, making you want to tear your clothes off, guess what you’re in good company. Approximately 75% of women experience hot flashes during menopause. These sudden feelings of intense heat, or night sweats, can last from 30 seconds to several minutes. (Mayo Clinic)

Irregular periods
Periods all over the place? Shorter, longer, or skipping months—menstrual cycles can become wildly unpredictable, making tracking frustrating, but that’s why it’s so important to track. Officially, menopause is reached when you’ve gone 12 months in a row without having a period. (Mayo Clinic)

Lowered Libido
Does “not tonight” start to feel like every night? Studies indicate that up to 50% of women experience a decrease in sexual desire during perimenopause and menopause. This is due to the drop in estrogen and testosterone. Women often report feeling less interested in intimacy, which can often put strains on relationships.

Mood Changes
Riding an emotional rollercoaster? Many women face increased anxiety, irritability, and depressive feelings during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal changes and night sweats can leave you feeling drained. Research shows about 23% of women experience mood swings during this time (Mayo Clinic).

Brain Fog
The word is on the tip of your tongue but you can’t quite find it. You’re not alone. Up to 60% of women experience brain fog, including forgetfulness and trouble concentrating, due to hormonal changes, but the good news is that symptoms often improve postmenopause.
