About

Hello — I’m Kasie.  

I’m a women's health advisor with over 30 years of clinical experience. I help women cut through confusion and finally understand what’s happening in their bodies—so they can live their best life through midlife and menopause.”
With decades in direct patient care across internal medicine and vascular surgery arenas, I’ve had an unusually clear view into how women’s health is delivered—and where it quietly misses the mark. I've helped women here in the US and internationally navigate their health care through a broken system. 

Today, I serve as a Certified Women’s Health Coach and Menopause advisor with advanced training in Functional Medicine. My work is grounded in science, informed by experience, and elevated by a more comprehensive view of health—one that looks beyond symptoms to understand root causes.

This work is also personal. Like many other capable women, I was entirely unprepared for menopause. Not its duration. Not its reach. And certainly not how significantly it influences a women's long-term health. What I encountered—both personally and professionally—was not a lack of care, but a lack of depth in the conversation.  Menopause is not a moment. It is a lifetime physiological transition that touches nearly every system in a women's body—cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, skeletal, and emotional. And yet, it is STILL often reduced to a checklist of symptoms on an intake form never reviewed or discussed or a prescription pad .

We can do better than that.
Functional Medicine offers a more sophisticated lens—one that considers personal history, genetics, nutrition, environment, and lifestyle as interconnected variables, not isolated data points. 
While conventional medicine excels in acute intervention (and we absolutely want that when we need it), it often leaves women navigating chronic changes without a cohesive strategy.
In other words—exceptional at rescue, less so at roadmap of longevity.

Through Living The Pause, I provide high-level, personalized educational and advisory support between medical appointments. I work with women who want to understand what is happening in their bodies—not in fragments, but as a complete, integrated picture.
Together, we organize health data, identify patterns, explore family history, and refine the quality of the questions being brought into clinical settings—because better questions lead to better care.

*This is not diagnosis or treatment. It is strategic partnership—designed to complement medical care and elevate the entire experience of it.

My clients tend to be thoughtful, high-functioning women who are no longer satisfied with surface-level answers (or being told "its in your head, Its JUST peri-menopause - or JUST Menopause then 10-30 yrs later its JUST Post Menopause with a sprinkle of many chronic diseases that come with it)
 
They value and deserve clarity, discretion, and a more intelligent approach to their health. 
And yes—there is room for humor in all of this. Because if we can’t laugh at some of the more absurd parts of this transition, we’re missing an opportunity.
There is a more informed, more intentional way to move through this while still living your best life.
And you deserve nothing less.
