Sudden Start: How Jesse Began This Work
- Jesse discovered menopause after hearing Dr. Mary Claire Haver on a podcast and started making TikToks about it the next day.
- His channel exploded as women and husbands responded with personal struggles and gratitude.

- Jesse recalled noticing his wife pulling the covers off in the night before he knew about hot flashes.
- Later he recognized those moments as early signs of temperature dysregulation from menopause.
