About PeriNavigatHer
Our mission
PeriNavigatHer exists to help close the persistent gap between what research shows women need and the perimenopause care they actually receive. It provides clear, up‑to‑date, evidence‑grounded education, resources, and practical tools to strengthen patient‑clinician partnerships.
What PeriNavigatHer offers
PeriNavigatHer is a patient‑education and support platform focused on midlife women’s health. It:
-
Translates menopause research and clinical guidelines into plain‑language guides and toolkits
-
Offers appointment‑prep tools to help women organize symptoms, questions, and goals before visits
-
Provides group‑based education and support through offerings like the Hormone Health Small Group Medical Program and Hot Flash Happy Hour
-
Curates trustworthy menopause and wellness resources, from apps to organizations and podcasts
-
Pilots tools such as the PeriNavigatHer Smart Search (beta) to help women ask better questions and navigate options
Why PeriNavigatHer was created
Despite growing research and clear guidelines, many women still receive limited information, rushed visits, or conflicting advice about (peri)menopause, and are often left to piece together answers on their own. PeriNavigatHer was created to bridge this gap by aligning evidence, lived experience, and practical tools that support real‑world decision‑making and care.
PeriNavigatHer is growing as a platform and actively explores collaborations with clinicians, community organizations, and women’s health advocates.
The PeriNavigatHer Promise.
-
Evidence‑first: Everything is grounded in clinical guidelines, consensus statements, and high‑quality research, with citations you can see
-
Built for real‑world visits: Tools are designed around what can realistically happen in a 15–30 minute appointment.
-
Clinician‑informed, woman‑centered: PeriNavigatHer resources are designed by women's health practitioners for women to optimize the physician-patient relationship, supporting both in what can be short, chaotic discussions.
PeriNavigatHer was founded by Amanda Crisel, PharmD, CWP, and (peri)menopause educator with nearly two decades of experience in biopharmaceuticals and women’s health. Her personal experience with premature ovarian insufficiency, along with the gaps she has seen in the care of the women she works with, directly inform the platform’s content and programs. Amanda translates up‑to‑date clinical research into evidence‑grounded tools and practical guidance to help women take charge of their health during perimenopause and beyond. She advocates for a whole‑person perspective, integrating current guidelines, hormone therapy, and lifestyle factors in the design of PeriNavigatHer’s education, tools, and programs. Amanda is a Brainz Magazine Executive Contributor, speaker, and podcast guest.
