For the Girls: She helped Halle Berry navigate menopause. Now she's rewriting midlife care

More than 1 billion women globally are navigating the physical and mental shifts of perimenopause and menopause, yet many still find themselves dismissed by a medical system ill-equipped to treat them. Dr. Sara de la Torre, a Seattle-based, double board-certified physician specializing in OB-GYN, lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, and menopause care, is working to change that narrative. After a hand injury forced her to step away from delivering babies, Dr. de la Torre redirected her career toward midlife health—a journey that eventually led to a high-profile partnership with Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry.
