Research alert: A new clinical trial shows that Duavee, a drug approved to treat menopause symptoms, may also help prevent invasive breast cancer in women who have been diagnosed with DCIS, a form of breast cancer in the milk ducts that hasn’t spread to surrounding breast tissue.
Researchers found that Duavee not only eased menopause symptoms, but also significantly reduced cancer cell growth in breast tissue—a key indicator of the cancer’s progression.
Want to learn more? Mindy Goldman, MD, Midi’s Chief Clinical Officer, shared her expert perspective on the research—and why Duavee may be an important option for some patients.

“I finally feel like myself again!!”
- Satina S., 43 |
|
After I turned 41, I began to experience a range of symptoms—brain fog, hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and unpredictable mood swings. At first, I brushed it off as just part of getting older. But over time, I started to feel like I was losing not just my mind, but my sense of self.
Over the course of several appointments, I spoke to my general practitioner about what I was going through. She prescribed an antidepressant. While it did ease the night sweats and hot flashes, I still didn’t feel like me. Deep down, I knew there had to be more to the story, so I decided to do my own research and seek a second opinion.
That’s when I found Midi—and I’m so glad I did. My Midi clinician truly listened. She understood exactly what I was experiencing, answered every one of my questions, and started me on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In just one 30-minute visit, I received more clarity and support than I had in all my previous appointments combined. I feel like myself again!

The expert: Kathleen Jordan, MD, Midi’s Chief Medical Officer
Q: “I keep hearing about how bad inflammation is—what is it exactly, and how do I know if it’s an issue for me?”
A: Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s immune response—it’s what causes the pain and swelling of a sprained ankle or the redness around an infection. But for some people, inflammation can also mean stiffness, poor sleep, bloating, skin flare-ups, or even brain fog.
During menopause, things get trickier. Estrogen has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, so when it starts to decline, low-grade, chronic inflammation can ramp up. Midlife symptoms like stress and insomnia—already common in this stage—can make it worse.
Whether it’s from stress, diet, hormonal change, or something else, long-term inflammation can raise the risk of serious conditions like heart disease, cancer, obesity, and dementia. This link between inflammation and aging even has a name: inflammaging.
That’s why, when new symptoms show up during midlife, it’s worth booking a Midi visit to check if inflammation might be part of the picture. Simple lab tests can offer insight, and if inflammation is at play, your clinician can suggest ways to bring it down—through nutrition, movement, supplements, or medication—to support your overall health and longevity.
