Jackie Piasta is a Vanderbilt University-trained Women's and Gender Health-related Nurse Practitioner who has been serving women for over 15 years. She currently owns Monarch Health, a holistic telehealth company focused on helping women thrive through midlife and menopause so they can feel confident and empowered as they navigate their wellness journey. Through her time in the medical field, Jackie has seen gaps in the healthcare system, particularly when it comes to women’s health. She believes that women deserve to be seen and heard when voicing their health concerns, and she is on a mission to not only hold that space but also to leave the healthcare system better than she found it. One of the biggests concerns she faced with her patients over the years was their complaints regarding their thyroid. Whether it be a concern of a possible thyroid issue contributing to their symptoms or feeling that their current care was suboptimal, Jackie has met thousands of women struggling with traditional thyroid concerns and feeling like something was missing in their care. This combined with an overall desire to improve people's overall health led Jackie to take a deeper dive into hormones and expand her knowledge through the Academy for Innovative and Preventative Medicine and their Bioidentical Hormone certification. Here, she learned evidence-based strategies for address a wide-range of hormonal concerns, thyroid included and she is here to share her knowledge with us today.
