The former Marie Claire editor talks about her journey from fashion to telehealth and how her mother’s sudden heart attack changed her view on women’s health
Jacquelyne Froeber is an award-winning journalist and editor. She’s the former editor-in-chief of Celebrated Living magazine and has editing and writing experience for print and online publications, including Health magazine, Coastal Living magazine and AARP.org. As a breast cancer survivor, Jacquelyne encourages everyone to perform self-exams and get their mammograms.
Not long after, I met my co-founder, Monica Molenaar, who was on a similar mission and together we created Alloy Women's Health.I try to eat healthy, exercise regularly, meditate for 10 minutes a day and get enough sleep.

I was experiencing pronounced mood swings, rage and anxiety. I was also waking up every morning at 4 a.m. unable to fall back asleep. I wasn't sleeping and I was gaining weight. I didn't even know what perimenopause was when I started the company, and I definitely didn't know that any of those symptoms were related to the hormonal ups and downs that can start anytime in the 10 years leading up to your last period.
