Hi, I'm Lorraine. Nice to meet you.

I help women over 40 understand what their bodies are doing, in plain language.

I'm a PharmD, a mom of twins, and a woman in midlife figuring this out right alongside you. I turn labels and research into words you can use at the pharmacy aisle and the doctor's office.

"I took the long way to pharmacy. That's exactly why I explain things the way I do."

My signature series

PharmD Reads the Label

I pick up a real product, flip it over and break down the ingredients, the doses and the claims, so you know what you're paying for before you buy.

Label Facts

Serving size: 1 episode (about 60 seconds)
What I checkEvery time
  • Active ingredients✓
  • Dose vs. what research used✓
  • Claims on the front✓
  • Fillers, sugars & sweeteners✓
  • Medication interactions✓
  • Price per serving✓
VerdictWorth it? Or skip?
* Education only, not medical advice. Ask your provider before starting a supplement.
The Change Notes

Midlife isn't the end of feeling like yourself. It's where the answers start.

I built The Change Notes because "it's probably stress" isn't a plan. Track sleep, mood, cycles and hot flashes, then show your doctor the pattern instead of trying to remember it.
