A Physician Who Has Listened — For Over a Decade
Metis was the goddess of wisdom, counsel, and deep knowledge in Greek mythology — the first wife of Zeus, and mother of Athena. She was known not for power, but for insight: the ability to see clearly, advise wisely, and guide others through complexity. The name was chosen deliberately. Navigating perimenopause and menopause requires exactly that kind of guidance — not a rushed protocol, but a physician who understands the full picture, stays current with the science, and helps you make sense of what's happening in your own body.
"Too many women are told that what they're experiencing is 'just getting older' — and sent home without answers or relief. That is not acceptable to me."
Dr. Jennifer Sapp has spent more than ten years in women's health, developing deep expertise in the hormonal, metabolic, and physical changes that occur during the midlife transition. She has sat across from countless women who came in exhausted, frustrated, and often dismissed — and has dedicated her practice to changing that experience.
After witnessing how profoundly the menopause transition affects quality of life — and how inadequately the healthcare system prepares women for it — Dr. Sapp pursued specialized training and certification specifically in menopause medicine, earning her MSCP designation from The Menopause Society. This certification reflects rigorous training in the evidence base for menopause care and a commitment to providing treatment aligned with current clinical guidelines.
Dr. Sapp's training in osteopathic medicine brings a whole-person perspective to care: the body's systems are interconnected, and treatment should reflect that. Her additional board certification in obesity medicine (D-ABOM) means she is uniquely equipped to address the metabolic changes of menopause — weight gain, insulin resistance, body composition changes — with the same clinical depth she brings to hormonal care.
Metis Midlife Medicine was born from a conviction that women deserve a physician who understands the full complexity of their midlife health, who stays current with the science, and who treats them as intelligent partners in their own care.
"Every woman's menopause is different. The symptoms are real, the science is clear, and the treatment options are far greater than most women have been told. My job is to make sure you understand your options and feel genuinely heard — then partner with you on a plan that fits your body and your life."

Hot flashes, night sweats, and the sleep disruption they cause. Dr. Sapp offers both hormonal and non-hormonal strategies tailored to your severity, preferences, and health profile.
Mood, Cognition & Brain Health
Anxiety, depression, brain fog, and memory changes during the transition. Addressing the neurological effects of hormonal change is a central part of Dr. Sapp's practice.

As a board-certified obesity medicine physician, Dr. Sapp addresses the metabolic shifts of menopause — including insulin resistance, visceral fat, and cardiovascular risk — with clinical rigor and compassion.

Vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, urinary urgency, and recurrent UTIs — symptoms that are common, treatable, and rarely discussed. Dr. Sapp addresses them directly.
Bone & Cardiovascular Protection
Menopause significantly increases risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Preventive strategies and appropriate screening are integrated into every patient's care plan.

Expert prescribing and monitoring of menopausal hormone therapy — including individualized selection of type, route, and dose — grounded in current evidence and Menopause Society guidelines.
What Makes This Practice Different
Menopause-Trained Physician

Time to Actually Listen
Visits are designed to be thorough. Your history, your symptoms, and your goals matter — not just a checklist.
Current Evidence, Not Fear
Hormone therapy prescribing is grounded in what the science actually shows today — not the 2002 headlines that scared a generation of women away from effective treatment.
Whole-Person Perspective
Osteopathic training means Dr. Sapp sees the body as an integrated system — addressing hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors together.
Obesity Medicine Expertise
The metabolic changes of menopause require specialized knowledge. Dr. Sapp is one of few menopause providers who is also board-certified in obesity medicine.
