Dr. Stephanie Todd
Dr. Todd is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and is also a double board certified pediatrician and pediatric hospitalist based in northern Virginia. She completed her residency in pediatrics at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in 2005 after graduating from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine & Public Health in 2002. Between 2009-2025, she served as an attending physician and an associate professor of pediatrics at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. From 2019-2024 she was the medical director and chair of pediatrics at a community affiliate site associated with Children's National Hospital.
In 2025, Dr. Todd transitioned away from pediatric healthcare and medical teaching to focus on the care women receive during the perimenopause and menopause transition. Based on her own personal experience as a patient in midlife within the current healthcare system, Dr. Todd founded Midlife Medicine. Midlife Medicine is a direct care practice that partners with women to improve their quality of life and overall health, not just through symptom management but also through education, empowerment and agency.
Dr. Todd's goal is to have women regain their sense of self, health and well being for a lifetime of vitality. In addition to being a double board certified pediatrician, she is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, a certified life coach, and stays up to date with current best practices through podcasts, medical journals, books, and conferences.
She is especially keen on serving women who are struggling to “have it all” in midlife while feeling unwell with their own hormonal changes and are ready to make a change. She also has a heart for supporting mothers parenting adolescents who have their own hormone fluctuations and growing need for independence.
Schedule with Dr. ToddI always left our sessions with more confidence, more self-trust, and a deeper sense of what I need in this season. - C.B. The experience I had with Dr Todd was both informative and compassionate. She listened to my concerns and asked me a ton of questions. She really listened and wanted to help. She makes you feel at ease. Accessing Dr Todd was seamless, and the appointments never feel rushed. Dr. Todd makes complicated medical information easy to understand and is always there to answer my questions. It’s the way medicine should be practiced. - H.R.
I can't say enough about Dr. Todd. The personal touch she provides as a physician cannot be overstated. I never felt a question, email or call was a bother, and she was always quick to respond and very helpful. I cannot recommend her enough.
- A.T. When I first decided to treat my perimenopause symptoms with hormone therapy, I went the easy, non-personal route by getting my treatment through an online clinic. It worked for a while, but I noticed after a few months that my symptoms weren’t changing. Under the guidance of my online doctor, I changed my Estradiol dosage, but again, overtime, that did not change much at all. I also learned that the online clinic could not prescribe testosterone because this hormone could not be prescribed without labs. I started feeling lost and frustrated because I thought my prescription was just not working for me. I then started working with Dr. Todd who tailored my treatment to relieve my specific and most uncomfortable symptoms. It felt great to have an actual, personal, conversation about my symptoms and the reasons for why I was going through this and an understanding of where I am in my perimenopause journey. The labs confirmed everything and I’ve also added testosterone to my treatment. I’m feeling optimistic about the changes we’ve made, and I am so grateful to have Dr. Todd to guide me through this. Her knowledge, compassion and guidance gives me comfort knowing I have a partner in my health and in this journey going forward. - H.R.
As a medical professional, I tend to be selective with my care. I have known numerous physicians, but none as thorough and genuine as Dr Todd. She is always pleasant, knowledgeable and thinks outside the box for her patients' benefit. I highly recommend her to fix all the 'issues' that some say aren't 'issues'.- L.H.
