What if the things we’ve been told to just “get through” as women—hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, brain fog—aren’t simply parts of getting older… but symptoms of something that can be treated, healed, and even reversed?
This week’s episode cracked open a conversation that every woman (and man) needs to hear. We sat down with Cat and Dr. Chris Delp, the powerhouse couple behind Duluth Med Spa, to talk about all things women’s health, hormones, and sexual wellness—and let’s just say, nothing was off the table.
Monique met Cat years ago as her next-door neighbor (the kind with perfect hair, Texas charm, and three boys—just like her!). From neighborhood playdates to building thriving businesses, Cat and Chris have become local advocates for education, empowerment, and laughter in the world of health and longevity.
Together, they’re on a mission to destigmatize conversations around menopause, libido, and aging—bringing both expertise and humor (yes, there’s even a product called “Mydixadril”) to the discussion.
Key Themes + Takeaways
Hormones aren’t taboo—they’re vital. Cat shared her personal experience walking through menopause, how she felt dismissed by traditional medicine, and how that frustration became the spark to open her own med spa.
Education is liberation. Chris reminded us that most doctors were never trained to treat menopause—and that misinformation from one flawed study decades ago continues to harm women’s health today.
It’s not “in your head.” Mood changes, loss of libido, anxiety, and sleeplessness during perimenopause and menopause are physiological, not emotional weaknesses.
Men need to understand this too. A lack of education around women’s hormonal shifts often leads to miscommunication and relationship strain—something that can change with awareness and compassion.
Quality of life matters. Hormone therapy, when done correctly, can improve energy, protect heart and brain health, and even reduce the risk of dementia.
Our Favorite Quotes
“It’s not that she doesn’t want you. She just can’t turn it on—because she literally doesn’t have estrogen.”
“If men lost their testicles at 50, I promise you everyone would be on hormone replacement therapy.”
“Gone are the days of just surviving menopause. We’re meant to thrive through it.”
“Education isn’t just for women—it’s for the men who love them too.”
“When we invest in our quality of life, we’re actually investing in the length of our life.”
