Today, Casey Stumpf, a NAMS certified nurse practitioner and dietitian, shares her journey into the world of hormonal health, particularly focusing on menopause and hormone replacement therapy. She discusses the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, the importance of understanding hormonal changes in women, and the benefits of testosterone therapy. Casey emphasizes the need for specialized care in managing menopause symptoms and the significance of early intervention with hormone therapy. The conversation also touches on the interconnectedness of diet, exercise, and hormonal balance, providing listeners with actionable insights to improve their health and well-being. As both a registered dietitian and a nurse practitioner, Casey offers a unique, integrative approach to healthcare that combines her expertise in nutrition with advanced clinical knowledge, allowing her to provide personalized care that addresses both the body and mind. Over the past 20 years, she's had the privilege of working in diverse healthcare settings, from the Emergency Department and Family Practice to End-of-Life Care. Her time as an end-of-life provider was especially formative, as it highlighted the critical importance of being proactive in our health and wellness long before we face serious illness or decline. It became clear to her how essential it is to prevent a "bad death" by investing in our health now—making the right choices, optimizing our well-being, and extending our healthspan, rather than merely focusing on lifespan. Her background as a dietitian has also given her a deep understanding of the powerful role nutrition plays in long-term health. She is passionate about helping her patients achieve sustainable weight loss, focusing on life-sustaining, nutrient-dense approaches rather than quick fixes or restrictive diets. This emphasis on balanced, mindful eating not only supports healthy weight management but also promotes overall vitality and helps to balance hormones, especially during life stages like menopause. Driven by her desire to help women live their best lives at every stage, she has pursued advanced education in menopause care, earning her Menopause Society Certification. This allows her to offer targeted care that integrates bioidentical hormone therapy with nutrition and lifestyle changes to help women navigate hormonal shifts, reclaim their energy, and feel their best. Ultimately, her goal is to bring her patients’ spark back—to optimize their health, support their weight goals in a sustainable way, and empower them to live a vibrant, fulfilling life. She believes that true wellness is about being proactive today to prevent illness tomorrow, and she is dedicated to guiding her patients on this path every step of the way.
