Every revolution begins with a whisper. But this one ends with a roar.
Ignite Our Power
One billion women. One movement. Ignite it.
IgniteOurPower.org is the home of Dr. Mariam Awada’s groundbreaking books—including The Menopause Apothecary, The Unstoppable Woman, and A Woman’s Guide to Breast Health—and a movement to demand real change in women’s health. Here, you’ll find resources to reclaim sleep, balance mood, sharpen memory, and cut through misinformation about hormone therapy and predatory $12 billion “wellness” markets. But this site is more than books—it’s a rallying point for 53 million American women (and over one billion worldwide) whose needs have been ignored by medicine, underfunded research, and outdated policies. Join the fight to make menopause research and education a national priority. Sign the petition today to ignite change and make women’s health impossible to ignore.
Dr. Mariam Awada, MD FACS
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon & Author
Dr. Mariam Awada, MD, FACS — known as Dr. Beauty — is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 20 years of experience, helping more than 50,000 women look, feel, and live unstoppable.
Recognized as one of the top plastic surgeons in America, she is celebrated not only for her surgical artistry but also for her honesty, empathy, and unapologetic voice in women’s empowerment.
Her patients and readers describe her as:
Authentic — delivering straight talk with compassion.
Empowering — challenging women to embrace confidence inside and out.
Respected — trusted by thousands for life-changing results.
As an author and speaker, Dr. Awada extends her no-BS approach beyond the operating room, writing and speaking the way women want to be spoken to: with honesty, respect, and a belief in their power.
Because 53 million women deserve more than silence.
Dr. Mariam Awada, MD, FACS knows that silence too well. An award-winning plastic surgeon, regenerative medicine specialist, cancer survivor, and global women’s health advocate, she experienced surgical menopause after cancer treatment—waking to the 3 a.m. sweats, brain fog, and the absence of answers from a system unprepared to help. Refusing to “just manage it,” she dug into the science, exposed the research gaps, and built practical, evidence-based solutions for midlife and beyond.
Dr. Awada founded Ignite Our Power, a movement pushing for policy reform, robust menopause research, clinician education, and regulatory protections so care is safe, equitable, and covered. In practice, she helps women reclaim sleep, cognition, strength, and joy with personalized, integrative care. She stands with 53 million American women—and one billion worldwide—who deserve better than invisibility. Read and share The Menopause Bill of Rights—our call to action demanding that women’s health be prioritized, researched, and respected.
Ignite change. Ignite our power.
