After over 10 years of practice, my mission is to inspire and empower people to feel happy, healthy and beautiful. Attaining optimal health involves addressing the underlying causes of health issues, while assessing and integrating physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of health. “Doctor as Teacher” is my guiding principle, as I encourage my patients to take an active role in their own

health. Effective, evidence-based and individualized treatment plans are built with each and every one of my patients in mind. I have a wealth of experience in dealing with digestive health concerns, hormone health and weight loss. My special interest lies in thyroid disease, immune disorders, bioidentical hormone replacement and anti-aging therapies. I’ve also designed specific programs in detoxification, cosmetic acupuncture, weight loss and healthy aging. I believe that the foundation of health lies in nutrition and a healthy, active lifestyle. When I’m not in clinic, you will find me staying active outdoors by running, cycling or rollerblading. I spent many years as a fitness instructor and personal trainer before finding my passion in teaching yoga. I teach yoga in the studio or corporate setting encouraging people to find balance through active movement and meditation.

I’m a strong advocate for empowering women with access to bioidentical hormones, especially when it comes to progesterone. 💪✨

In this image, you’ll see a comparison between bioidentical progesterone, human progesterone, and a progesterone analogue (like Provera). While progesterone analogues may seem to mimic natural progesterone in the body, they are not the same and come with several concerns. Research has shown that synthetic progesterone analogues can cause a range of side effects, including mood swings, weight gain, and an increased risk of cardiovascular issues.

Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced by our own bodies. This means they are more easily recognized and metabolized, leading to fewer side effects and more balanced hormone health.

Let’s prioritize hormone balance and well-being with options that work in harmony with our bodies. 🌿💚

✨ Slow Skin Aging with Bioidentical Hormones ✨

As we age, hormonal changes can impact our skin, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. But there's good news—bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help slow these signs of aging by restoring estrogen levels. 💖

🌟 How BHRT Helps:

💧 Improves hydration for soft, smooth skin

✨ Boosts elasticity to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

🌸 Restores skin thickness, giving it a firmer, more youthful look

🌟 Enhances your skin’s glow for a radiant complexion

If you're noticing the effects of aging on your skin, BHRT might be the solution you’ve been looking for! Consult with a professional to see if it’s right for you. 🌿

🌸 Why Women Over 40 Need Progesterone 🌸

As we age, our hormones shift, and for women over 40, this can lead to significant changes in how we feel. One of the key hormones to focus on is progesterone, and bioidentical progesterone is the most effective way to restore it.

✨ Progesterone’s Key Roles:

🍏 Preventing Weight Gain: Progesterone helps regulate metabolism, preventing the weight gain many women experience, especially around the belly.
😊 Mood Support: It stabilizes moods, reducing anxiety, irritability, and stress.
⚖️ Balancing Estrogen: Progesterone helps balance fluctuating estrogen levels, reducing bloating and heavy periods.
😴 Supporting Sleep: It has a calming effect, helping you sleep soundly and feel rested.
💖 Hormonal Health: Essential for overall hormonal balance, keeping you feeling your best every day.

🌱 Why Compounded Bioidentical Progesterone?

I prescribe compounded bioidentical progesterone because it is the closest match to the progesterone your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic progesterone, it is better absorbed and offers more effective results with fewer side effects.

💚 Benefits of Bioidentical Progesterone:

📝 Personalized Dosage: Custom doses tailored to your unique needs.
💪 Better Absorption: More effective in relieving symptoms like mood swings, sleep issues, and weight gain.
🛡️ Safer Option: Chemically identical to your body’s natural progesterone, offering a safer, more natural solution.

Let’s restore your hormonal balance and help you feel your best again!

🌿 Embrace Your Menopausal Journey with Confidence 🌿

Menopause can bring about challenging symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and disrupted sleep. But bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a natural, personalized approach to help restore balance and improve quality of life. Let’s dive into how bioidentical hormones can make a difference. ✨

✨ What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Derived from plant-based sources, bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical options provide more precise and natural treatment.

✨ How BHRT Can Help During Menopause:

🔥 Hot Flashes & Night Sweats: BHRT, especially bioidentical estrogen, can reduce hot flashes by up to 75%.

🦴 Bone Health: Bioidentical estrogen helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of fractures.

😊 Mood & Mental Well-Being: BHRT restores hormonal balance, improving mood and emotional stability.

🌸 Vaginal Health: Bioidentical estrogen can enhance moisture and elasticity, improving intimacy.

❤️ Heart Health: Bioidentical hormones may offer heart protection in postmenopausal women.

💤 Improved Sleep: Progesterone can promote relaxation and better sleep quality.

✨ Why Choose Bioidentical Hormones?

✅ Personalized dosing to meet your unique needs

✅ Lower risk of side effects since they mimic your body’s own hormones

✅ Holistic support for optimal wellness

Why might you want to add Glutathione to an IV Infusion?

🌟 Prevents Chronic Illness

Chronic illness—like Parkinson’s Disease, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, and cancer are all associated with low glutathione. When we’ve introduced too many toxins into our bodies or become overwhelmed with oxidative stress, we get sick. Glutathione uses its antioxidant powers to eliminate those toxins and stress, leading to prevention of chronic illness.

🌟 Slows the Aging Process
Glutathione spends a lot of time repairing damaged cells—particularly the ones that spur the aging process. By removing free radicals from our bodies, we’re welcoming in stronger hair and nails, tighter and brighter skin, and higher energy levels. Glutathione also encourages mitochondrial growth, creating younger, more beneficial cells to replace the aging ones.

🌟 Boosts Athletic Ability
If you want to reach your peak ability athletically, glutathione is one of the best supplements for it. Not only does it decrease incidents of muscle damage, it also boosts your strength and endurance; encourages your body to make more muscle than fat; and reduces recovery times.

🌟 Controls Inflammation
Free radicals love to congregate in your body, causing inflammation and damage to whatever meeting spot they choose. But when you have enough glutathione in your body, the antioxidant busts up the free radical party—which means you can say goodbye to inflammation because those cell-damaging molecules causing it were just kicked out.

🌟 Detoxifies the Liver
Glutathione is most commonly found in our livers, waiting for any toxins to flow through so it can attach to them and help get them out of the body. By default, that means it’s detoxifying the liver, which helps stave off conditions like fatty liver disease.
