Empowered Aging and Functional Women's Health with Dr. Mallorie Cracroft

What if menopause didn’t have to feel like a mystery—or a mess? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, a board-certified OB-GYN and functional medicine doctor, to explore the real story behind women’s hormonal health. Dr. Cracroft shares her journey from conventional medicine to founding Uplift for Her, a women's health clinic that blends the best of both medical worlds. We talk about the limitations of traditional care, the truth behind the WHI study, and why so many women feel blindsided by midlife changes. Plus, she opens up about raising daughters with body literacy and resilience at the center.

 

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to revisit—whether you’re navigating perimenopause, parenting girls, or simply looking to better understand your body.

 

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Dr. Cracroft left full-time OB-GYN to start a functional women’s health clinic
• What the WHI study actually says—and how it still impacts care today
• The case for hormone therapy and the deeper question: Why are so many women struggling to age well?
• The role of stress, toxins, and modern living in menopausal symptoms
• How she’s raising her daughters to understand and love their bodies
