Hello

Meet Dr. Christa Waymire

Hello! My name is Dr. Christa Waymire, and I’m a physician menopause specialist right here in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. I have been a board-certified family physician since 2009, after graduating from the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN, and studying medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. I completed my family medicine residency at the University of Minnesota-St. Joseph's Hospital and spent my first 8 years in practice in Glencoe, MN where I had the privilege of caring for patients of all ages in various settings, including the clinic, hospital, nursing home, and emergency room settings.

​

In 2018, I transitioned to practicing emergency medicine full-time. However, my personal journey with menopause began in early 2024 when I started experiencing uncomfortable perimenopausal symptoms. Like many women, I sought relief and began exploring menopausal hormone therapy. It was during this process that I realized how much menopause care has evolved since my residency days, and I found it challenging to locate a physician who was up-to-date with the current standards of care.

​

Through my network of physician contacts and various online searches, I finally found a supportive physician to guide me. I also became involved in menopause-related social media groups, where I saw firsthand how many women were struggling to find the care they needed during this pivotal time in their lives.

​

This experience ignited a passion in me to address the pressing need for accessible, high-quality menopause care. With my background in family medicine and a deep commitment to women’s health, I decided to create a menopause-focused practice to help others like myself.

​

Over the past year, I have dedicated myself to learning about the latest advancements in menopause treatment, and am certified through the North American Menopause Society. I have also explored the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, alternative medications, supplements, and lifestyle changes through both research and personal experience.

​

My goal is to help women feel their best during menopause, drawing from what I’ve learned and the positive changes I’ve experienced. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to this next best stage of life!
