A Conversation with Dr. Cathleen Brown, Revolutionizing Healthcare for Women in Menopause

Dr. Cathleen Brown, fondly known as Dr. Cat, is an incredible board-certified OB/GYN who is leading the charge at Winona, a company dedicated to revolutionizing women's health. Winona is committed to providing comprehensive support to women suffering from menopause-related symptoms. Their approach includes plant-based Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatment, compounding pharmacies, free bi-monthly webinars, and personalized online patient care and support groups.
Dr. Cat's journey in the field of women's health is remarkable. She served on army bases for 12 years, offering vital care to female soldiers and dependents of active-duty soldiers, an experience that has deeply enriched her understanding of the unique health needs of women. Dr. Cat has also been instrumental in educating fellow physicians in the realm of women's health. Currently, she serves as the site director and obstetric hospitalist at Chester County Hospital in West Chester, PA. All this, and she is a single mother of three children!
One of the unfortunate aspects of menopause is the stigma that sometimes surrounds it. Some women aged 45-55 (and 35-59 for perimenopause) carry feelings of shame connected to their menopause symptoms, which can be wide-ranging and debilitating. These symptoms may include weight gain, anxiety, depression, low libido, hot flashes and mood swings.
To provide much-needed support, Dr. Cat actively participates in hosting biweekly Winona Webinars, where she answers questions and addresses concerns about menopause symptoms and treatment options. She also participates in Winona's quarterly-themed webinars that address women's issues. In addition, she co-moderates a membership-free support group on Facebook called Winona Women, which boasts an engaged community of more than 8,500 members.
Dr. Cat covers:

The challenges of parenting while dealing with menopause
What current neurology and brain science say about menopause and its related symptoms.
Shame around low libido resulting from vaginal atrophy, anxiety, and depression, and how this affects female relationships with their partners.
How Winona's unique approach to HRT and compounding pharmacies is better supporting women struggling through menopause.
How the digital transformation of healthcare is helping to support patients more effectively.

Dr. Cat helps to break down barriers surrounding menopause, empower women to seek help (even online--check Winona's free visit offering on their website) and promote a more compassionate understanding of this crucial phase in a woman's life.
