The FDA’s decision last week wasn’t “just another update.”

It quietly closed a 20-year chapter where women’s health was shaped more by fear than by evidence.

For two decades, women were making decisions about their bodies based on a study that didn’t reflect real-world menopause, didn’t use bioidentical hormones, and didn’t include the women who actually needed treatment.

That fear trickled into exam rooms.
It confused providers.

And it left millions of women white-knuckling through symptoms without real support.

This update is bigger than HRT.

It signals a shift toward evidence-based, individualized care, not blanket fear, outdated warnings, or “this is just aging.”

Menopause care should never feel like guesswork.

Your options shouldn’t be limited because of outdated interpretations.

And you shouldn’t have to advocate this hard to feel like yourself again.

At Wild Fig, we look at the full picture, your symptoms, labs, risks, history, and long-term goals.

When appropriate, we use bioidentical hormones as part of a medically supervised, root-cause plan that supports your heart, brain, bones, metabolism, and quality of life.

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and want a provider who’s actually up to date (not 20 years behind), we’re here.

I attribute much of the push back against mainstream medicine on the topic of HRT, specifically estrogen replacement therapy, to Peter Attia, MD. Thank you for your unbiased, scientific interpretation of the literature, and for your passion in educating the public about one of the largest injustices to women around the world.

Long overdue, but thrilled to finally see this. This was a decades long injustice to women’s health and quality of life.

The Food and Drug Administration will remove the "black box" warning from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products for menopause.

Here’s the truth most people never hear 👇🏼

Your labs can look “normal” while your thyroid is still struggling.

Most conventional panels only test TSH, the signal your brain sends to your thyroid.

It’s one piece of the puzzle, but it doesn’t tell us:

🔺if your thyroid is actually producing enough hormones
🔺if those hormones are converting into their active form (T3)
🔺or why your thyroid might be slowing down in the first place

Sometimes it’s stress.
Sometimes it’s inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or even early autoimmunity.

This is where functional medicine changes everything.

We go beyond the surface to understand what your body is really saying.

Your symptoms aren’t random. They’re signals.

You shouldn’t have to convince anyone that something feels off in your body.

For so many of my patients, that’s where their story starts.

They’ve done “all the right things.”
They’ve seen every specialist.
They’ve taken the meds, changed their diet, maybe even felt better for a while…

But the fatigue, bloating, anxiety, or brain fog always seem to find their way back.

Not because they didn’t try hard enough.

But because no one ever stopped to ask why their body needed the medication in the first place.

That’s what we do differently at Wild Fig.

We find the fire, the root cause behind the symptoms, and build a plan that helps your body heal itself instead of just suppressing signals.

Because when you finally understand what your body’s trying to say, everything starts to make sense again.

At Wild Fig, we believe healing starts with the right team 🩵

Each of us found our way to functional medicine because we’ve lived what so many of our patients experience.

The frustration of feeling unheard.

The search for answers that never seem to come.

The deep desire to finally feel better.

Our team brings different specialties and personal stories, but we share one mission: to help you get to the root of what’s going on in your body and support you every step of the way.

🌿 We’re so excited to reintroduce ourselves and share the heart behind this practice.

Stick around to learn more about functional medicine and the Wild Fig way of healing.

Welcome to Wild Fig Functional Medicine 💙

I’m Sarah and I’m so glad you’re here.

It’s been a long time coming to bring this space back to life, and honestly, it feels really good to finally say hello again.

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling rushed, dismissed, or like no one actually heard you, I see you.

You deserve more than quick fixes and five-minute conversations.

You deserve someone who slows down, listens, and gets to the heart of what’s going on with your health.

At Wild Fig, we treat the root, not just the symptoms.

We look beneath the surface to figure out what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

💫 Follow along as I share more about our approach and how we help patients feel like themselves again.

And if you’re ready to start your own healing journey, you can book a complimentary discovery call through the link in my bio.

#1 most pesticide-riden produce item. Make sure you know where your produce is coming from and that you only buy organic from the ”Dirty Dozen” list.

The average American eats about eight pounds of fresh strawberries a year – and with them, dozens of pesticides, including chemicals that have been linked to cancer and reproductive damage. A jaw-dropping amount of chemicals and pesticides are used in the production of non-organic strawberries. Learn more about it at https://bit.ly/3KAJl1h.
