About Vera Nyonglemuga

Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC, FNP-C, CCRN) | Midlife Women’s Health & Perimenopause Care | MSCP Candidate

Founder, Macvelly Wellness & Medical Services

Vera Nyonglemuga, FNP-BC, FNP-C, CCRN, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Macvelly Wellness & Medical Services, an integrative medical practice focused on midlife women’s health, metabolic health, and chronic disease prevention. She provides evidence-based, culturally responsive care to women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and complex health concerns across the lifespan.

Vera holds a certificate in Health and Wellness from Harvard Medical School and has spent years working directly with women navigating complex, often misunderstood symptoms related to hormonal change. With a clinical background spanning women’s health, cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and critical care nursing, Vera brings a systems-level understanding to the way hormonal transitions unfold in real bodies and real lives. Her work centers on the often-overlooked years of perimenopause, a neuroendocrine transition that remains poorly explained, frequently minimized, and inconsistently treated—particularly for women of color and immigrant women.

Vera’s clinical approach integrates physiology, chronic stress biology, and the social contexts that shape health outcomes. She is especially interested in how prolonged stress exposure, caregiving roles, cultural conditioning, and healthcare access influence symptom severity, timing, and care trajectories during midlife. Her writing reflects a commitment to clarity without simplification, and to reframing perimenopause not as a uniform hormonal decline, but as a complex transition shaped by biology and lived experience.

As a practicing clinician, Vera works closely with women who have been told their symptoms are “normal,” “just stress,” or “something to push through.” These encounters inform her writing and advocacy, which aim to close the gap between what research shows, what patients experience, and how care is delivered. She is currently preparing to sit for the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) examination.

In addition to her clinical background, Vera is an MBA Candidate and Forté Fellow at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, where her studies focus on healthcare leadership, operational strategy, and scalable models for equitable care delivery. This interdisciplinary training informs her approach to health education and advocacy, positioning her work at the intersection of medicine, culture, and systems design.

Vera is the author of The Perimenopause Solution, a nonfiction book that examines perimenopause through a clinical, cultural, and systems-level lens. The book positions perimenopause as a distinct and consequential stage of women’s health—one that demands clearer understanding, more responsive care, and greater inclusion of voices and experiences historically left out of medical narratives.

She lives and practices in the United States and continues to write, speak, and educate on midlife women’s health with the goal of advancing care that is rigorous, humane, and equitable.

💡 Why I Created Macvelly Wellness:

I created Macvelly Wellness because women — especially Black women and women of color — deserve care that sees the whole person, not just symptoms.

Too many women are told:
“It's just stress.”
“It's normal.”
“Just lose weight.”
“It's all in your head.”

It’s not.

Perimenopause is real. Hormonal shifts are real. The emotional toll is real. And you deserve support that is empathetic, culturally sensitive, and rooted in science.

My mission is to provide care that is:

• Holistic

• Accessible

• Respectful

• Empowering

You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I’m here to walk with you — step by step.
