About Dee Hake

My Mission
To raise awareness about early hormone changes and early perimenopause while dismantling the stigma around aging, hormones, and women's health—especially for women in their 30s and 40s who are so often misdiagnosed, ignored, or confused.

Why This Matters:
At 41, I’m living what I wish I’d known ten years ago. I spent years being told my symptoms were due to stress, anxiety, or just "getting older." In reality, I was in early perimenopause -- at 32. It's something most women don’t expect until much later. I am a healthcare provider, so I know how to advocate for myself, yet I still wasn't able to get the care or attention I needed for way too long.

My goal is to change that narrative by:
Sharing my personal misdiagnosis journey
Helping women recognize early hormonal shifts
Using my platform as both a model and healthcare provider to advocate for body literacy, self-trust, and real answers and to highlight what life is like on the other side of getting the care and treatment you need.

Topics I speak on
The Early Signs No One Warns You About: What perimenopause can look like in your 30s
When Doctors Get It Wrong: My story of misdiagnosis, why it’s more common than you think, and what you can do about it
Beauty, Aging + Advocacy: How I’m using modeling to challenge outdated narratives
Empowering Women Through Health Literacy: What we should be teaching younger women

Let’s work together to help more women feel seen, heard, and empowered—so they can stop questioning themselves and start getting the answers they deserve.
