ABOUT THE HOST

Missy Miculka, The Menopause Midwife®, is the founder and operator of Optimal Health Montana, LLC in Missoula, Montana. With a background in midwifery, massage therapy, and integrative women’s health, she has long supported women through life transitions. Her own experience entering perimenopause redirected her focus toward the powerful — and often misunderstood — hormonal shifts of midlife.

Missy demystifies perimenopause and menopause by translating complex hormone physiology into clear, practical roadmaps and language. She simplifies the roles of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA, helping women understand how fluctuations and deficits affect sleep, mood, libido, cognition, metabolic health, bone density, cardiovascular risk, tissue integrity, and more.

Her long-term mission is health equity: low-dose BHRT available over the counter, minimally regulated, and accessible at little to no cost. She believes removing HRT gatekeeping is essential for the long-term health of aging women. Her work remains anchored in this core belief: education and access transform menopause from a silent struggle into a powerful transition.
