It All Began When They Said My Father Had Dementia

Kristen Beasley has always been intrigued with medicine, but through personal experience, she discovered her true calling - brain health and why 2/3 of dementia diagnoses are women. The decline of her rocket scientist father's brilliant mind due to Lewy Body Dementia and her mother's rapid decline with a Stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumor was devastating.

Yet, her grandmother's century-long life, marked by a resilient spirit inspired her. 



I'm Kristen Beasley, and after seven years of intensive study in functional medicine, brain, and hormone health, I'm on a mission to change how women understand their changing brains during perimenopause—not through expensive coaching, but through accessible education that every woman deserves.

After 25 years as a rehabilitation professional, I understood something fundamental: information access changes lives. My clients often struggled not because solutions didn't exist, but because information wasn't accessible to them.

The same is true for women in perimenopause and post-menopause. 

During my seven years of training and certifications in functional medicine health coaching, integrative health and nutrition, and brain and hormone health, I discovered research about the hormone-brain connection that could transform women's experiences—if only they knew it existed. But this information is locked behind medical journals, expensive consultations, and practitioners who don't take insurance.

That's when I decided: instead of becoming another expensive practitioner serving a few dozen women annually, I would become an educator reaching thousands. Through podcasting, speaking, and building an educational membership community, I'm democratizing access to life-changing information about perimenopause and brain health.

My superpower is helping women become the best version of themselves while pursuing the kind of life they actually want.... one with abundant health, joy, and peace. 

Every day, hundreds of thousands of women stand in parking lots trying to remember where they parked, sit in meetings unable to focus like they used to, or lie awake wondering if they're developing dementia at 45. The medical system offers little explanation beyond 'it's just menopause.'

My Favorite Things

Watching Auburn football at Jordan Hare Stadium with my family! War Eagle!

my happy place!

The Beach! It's my zone of serenity where all of my best ideas happen.

For 16 years, I honed my skills as a ballerina, spending 12 of those years performing in various roles in the timeless classic, The Nutcracker. My dream of dancing alongside ballet legend, Mikhail Baryshnikov, will remain unchecked on my bucket list!

My Favorite Things

Traveling with my family. Our Christmas gift (now that the kids are older) is a trip. Gatlinburg (Anakeesta) in 2023. 

Ice cream. Salted Caramel Ice cream to be exact!
