Top 5 Takeaways from Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein on The More Than Your Age Podcast

On The More Than Your Age Podcast, Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein shares how her personal battle with endometriosis and infertility shaped her mission to build ESSE Care—a practice rooted in whole-person, patient-centered women’s healthcare.

Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein, founder of ESSE Care, joined Erica Pasvar on The More Than Your Age Podcast to share the deeply personal and professional journey that led her to create a women’s healthcare practice rooted in compassion, precision, and whole-person care.

Here are the top five takeaways from this inspiring conversation:

 

1. A Non-Traditional Path to Medicine Shaped a Holistic Vision

Dr. Goldstein began her academic career in the arts and languages, studying abroad and immersing herself in cultures around the world. This foundation cultivated her ability to connect deeply with others and understand the human experience beyond clinical symptoms. It inspired her to bring empathy, cultural awareness, and emotional insight into her medical career—values that now guide every aspect of ESSE Care.

 

2. Personal Struggles with Endometriosis and Infertility Fueled Her Mission

Dr. Goldstein’s battle with endometriosis and infertility during her medical training gave her firsthand insight into the gaps in women’s healthcare. Becoming a patient within the system changed her perspective—she understood the frustration, isolation, and emotional toll her patients face. Her experience drives her passion to create a safe, informed space where women receive both clinical expertise and emotional support.

 

3. ESSE Care Was Created to Offer More Than Medicine

ESSE Care was born out of a need for integrated, multidisciplinary care. Dr. Goldstein has built a team that includes acupuncturists, physical therapists, hypnotherapists, nutritionists, and hormone specialists to ensure that patients have access to truly comprehensive support. The goal is not just to treat—but to heal the mind, body, and spirit through a coordinated, personalized approach.

 

4. Advanced Surgery Meets Precision and Compassion

With over 1,000 advanced surgeries performed, Dr. Goldstein is an expert in robotic and laparoscopic excision techniques. She explains how minimally invasive surgery allows for less pain, reduced recovery time, and better fertility outcomes, all while honoring the patient’s body and goals. Every procedure is carefully planned with whole-person wellness in mind.

 

5. Accessibility and Balance Are at the Heart of ESSE Care

From offering mobile services and telehealth to designing a practice that supports both her patients and her own family life, Dr. Goldstein has prioritized accessibility, flexibility, and balance. She understands the real-life challenges women face and has built a care model that meets patients where they are—physically, emotionally, and logistically.

 

Looking Ahead

Dr. Goldstein’s story is not just about building a medical practice—it’s about redefining what care looks like for women with complex gynecologic conditions. Through ESSE Care, she is setting a new standard—one that blends medical excellence, emotional intelligence, and deep personal connection.

If you’re searching for healthcare that honors your full story and supports your entire journey, ESSE Care is here for you.
