About Threshold & Megan Wallace | Health Coaching & Community for Perimenopause & Menopause

My Story

I thought it was stress. It wasn't.

I spent 25 years in tech, chasing promotions, saying yes to everything, and convincing myself I'd focus on my health "once things settled down."
‍
Spoiler: things never settled down.

The changes were gradual. A few pounds here. Less energy there.

And then in the spring of 2024, shit got real: random bouts of crying for no reason, crushing stress, brain fog so thick that I would lose my words in the middle of important presentations (yeah, THAT was super fun). Hot flashes and night sweats that I was just SURE were stress-induced.

I’d chalked it up to a brutal stretch at work, and I even RESIGNED from my Silicon Valley job to take a break and recalibrate, 100% blaming stress.

My gynecologist never really listened to me, recommended nothing other than maybe I should look for a less stressful job (duh), and oh hey, she would LOVE to put me back on the pill again (pretty much a direct quote, smfh...)! Um, no. I’d been on one version or another for far too long, so I declined, again and again, and left every appointment feeling completely hopeless.

If I could, I’d go back and hug that younger version of myself and tell her to hold on, that help was coming.

The Turning Point

The day everything came into focus

In October 2025 I enrolled in the Institute for Menstrual Health’s Women’s Hormone Health Certification, an intense 9-month program covering every stage of women’s hormones. I was already a trained health coach, but most of my clients were in the perimenopausal range and I knew I had a gap to close. I’ve since earned that certification, and I’m now a certified women’s hormone health practitioner.
‍
(ironically enough, at that time I was swearing that I’d EVENTUALLY need this information for myself, like a few years down the road, having no clue that I was already well into the thick of it.)
‍
I decided to be my own guinea pig while getting certified. I started tracking my hormones again, and on a sunny day that same month, I was told by the lead hormone expert at Mira (they make the tracking device that I use and recommend to my clients) that I was in late-stage perimenopause and may never ovulate again.
‍
Her words stopped my world cold.

The hot flashes, the anxiety, the brain fog, the feeling that I was going a little crazy, all of it from the last 2+ years. It wasn’t only stress. It was perimenopause. And no one had told me.

I legit I went through every stage of grief that day. And the anger still surfaces when I think about those appointments with my gyno and other doctors, and how alone I felt.

WHY I Founded Threshold

Here's what I know about you

You're reading this because my story is your story, or your sister’s, your mom’s, your best friend’s.
‍
You know what it's like to feel your body turn on you. To keep pushing through when everything in you is begging to slow down. To wonder if this is just what getting older feels like, but deep down knowing that it doesn't have to be.

I founded Threshold for women navigating perimenopause and menopause because I understand exactly what you’re going through. Not from a textbook, but from living it.

The work I do isn’t meal plans and workout schedules. It’s a targeted, systematic approach built around you and your life, so you walk into this transition armed with the tools, the support, and the network you actually need.

MY PHILOSOPHY

You've invested in your career, your house, your kids' futures. At some point, you have to be on that list too.

Not your job, not your house, not your savings account. Your body is with you for life, and this transition is one of the best reasons there is to start investing in it.
‍
The Futureproof Framework, my signature methodology, isn't about cramming in more information. It's about finally giving yourself the priority you've been giving everyone and everything else.
