Navigating Midlife with Expertise and Care

Advanced practice nurse Alyson Lippman has worked for over 15 years as a women’s healthcare provider and as a professor of women’s health nursing leadership at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her work experience and education have equipped her with the skills to serve as a gap in healthcare for menopausal and perimenopausal women, and her new business, Midlife Midwife MKE, aims to help them navigate this stage.

“I spend a lot of time with my patients, going over their symptoms, their stressors and what they want for their lives,” says Lippman. “So often in healthcare today, appointments are really quick and limited, and with my own practice I want women to feel listened to and have personalized care.”

Lippman describes her business itself as “Your partner in midlife care” and that partnership covers a lot of ground. She uses evidence-based approaches to help women manage menopause and menopausal issues ranging from hot flashes to sexual health, sleep disturbance, weight gain, and mood swings. She can prescribe hormone replacement therapy, medications and supplements, as well as provide coaching, counseling and lifestyle support.

Her extensive professional background and education make her uniquely positioned to help women navigate this challenging life change. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there, a lot of TikTok ‘experts,’ and Dr. Google has no bedside practice,” says Lippman. “My approach is to use evidence-based personalized treatment plans that make use of holistic practices and traditional medicine to manage their specific challenges.”
