“I was in a car going to a meeting when suddenly I felt flushed, hot, and sweaty. I didn’t know it was a tipping point that I wasn’t ready for…”

Why bestyet?

Women are surprised by the impact of menopause. We must change that.

Women are living their lives one moment, and the next, BAM! Everything changes. The first reaction is confusion, followed by the five stages of grief. Finally, the existential question: Is that all there is?  The answer is an emphatic no, but we must plan for menopause and midlife. That's why I made it my mission to help women embrace this period confidently and authentically.

Bestyet is grounded in Global research, truths and insights

Menopause simply isn't top-of-mind

Women stay too busy to worry about menopause. As a C-suite executive, I was unprepared for its impact on my personal and professional life. Moreover, I wasn't the only one entirely caught off guard. 


Midlife brings up specific challenges, which women must plan to thrive through.

We have seen family members, friends, and coworkers muddle through midlife. Because they did not plan, they were left reacting to emerging stressors ad hoc. 


No one prepares us for menopause and its midlife manifestations. We have lost that generational compact. Our model bridges this gap. 

Research and advocacy need us

Research and advocacy need us

Traditionally, healthcare has viewed menopause as a dichotomy: 1) the clinical factors and 2) the social determinants of health that affect those factors. 


Working closely with researchers and advocacy groups has taught us to combine both for the best results. That's how BestYet was born.

Strong Women Build Stronger Women.
