What happens when you’re feeling your strongest and healthiest and suddenly become the patient?

Dr. Michelle Chestovich, a board-certified family physician in Minnesota and certified life coach, returns to The StressFreeMD Podcast to share her deeply personal journey. After completing a half Ironman and feeling her best, she discovered a breast abnormality that led to a diagnosis of bilateral breast cancer.

She opens up about navigating the transition from physician to patient and how treatment sent her off an “estrogen cliff” into menopause without warning or preparation. We explore the signs and symptoms she experienced, their disruptive impact on daily life, and why women’s menopause concerns are far too often dismissed.

Dr. Chestovich shares what helped her most, from the ways she supported herself to the care and support she received from others. She also reveals how her experience inspired her to create a menopause clinic to help other women feel heard, informed, and supported.

Join us for an honest, compassionate conversation about unexpected change, self-advocacy, and turning personal experience into meaningful care for others.
