Episode 017 | Dr. Susan Baumgaertel is an internal medicine physician with over 30 years of clinical experience.

In 2020, she launched MenopauseMenu, a free informational website providing nourishing support for menopause and beyond.

Soon after that, she stepped away from direct patient care and founded a novel telemedicine business model, myMDadvocate. 

She uses her extensive medical experience and expertise to serve patients by providing medical consultation and advocacy support. 

Common topics include aging with intent, preventive care, menopause, chronic diseases, autoimmune conditions, weight management, behavioral health, cancer and survivorship support, caregiver stress, coping with chronic pain, and referral advocacy.

In 2023, she published her first book "The Menopause Menu"—an all-in-one giftbook, medical guide, and recipe book for navigating menopause.
