Cold nights, cozy blankets, hormones doing whatever they want — it’s peak snuggle-and-stream season. ❄️

When I’m not talking hormones or helping women feel human again, here’s what I’m curling up with this winter:

🍷 Shrinking (Apple TV) — therapy, humor, and grief in the most human way.
🎓 S*x Education (Netflix) — because learning about bodies never really ends.
💃 America’s Sweethearts: DCC (Netflix) — the choreography, the pressure, the perfectionism… tell me this isn’t a metaphor for midlife.
🎥 Every Little Thing (2024 Documentary) — tender, honest, and a reminder that small joys still matter.
🌌 The OA (Netflix) — weird, mystical, deeply emotional (just like perimenopause).
🏫 Abbott Elementary (Hulu) — proof that humor is medicine.
🕵️‍♀️ Only Murders in the Building (Hulu) — murder, friendship, and fabulous coats. What more does midlife need?
👠 And Just Like That… (Max) — familiar faces, new chaos, and the reminder that reinvention has no expiration date.

Consider this your permission slip to stay in, light a candle, and binge something that makes you laugh, cry, or forget about your to-do list for a while. 💛

What are you watching under the blanket this season? Drop your recs below — I’m always looking for my next comfort show. 📺✨

This holiday season, can we make a pact?
Let’s ditch the diet and eat like women who trust ourselves again. ✨

The holidays are full of incredible food — rich, nostalgic, made with love (and butter). You deserve to enjoy it without guilt or restriction.

Intuitive eating isn’t about rules. It’s about listening.

🍷 Slow down enough to taste it.
🍪 Stop when you’ve had enough.
🥗 Add something green because your body feels better when you do.

That’s balance — not punishment.

Whether it’s your grandma’s pie or a big holiday brunch, staying present with your food is how you honor your body and your joy.

This season, ditch the guilt, ditch the shoulds, and trust yourself. You’ve earned that freedom. 💖

Save this post for when the food rules start whispering — and remember, your body is wiser than the diet industry ever was.

PSA: if your stocking doesn’t include something that smells divine, boosts collagen, or saves your hair on day four, send it back. 🎁✨

A few of my current obsessions (a.k.a. the things keeping me sane and glowing this winter):

💆‍♀️ BondiBoost HG Dry Shampoo — for when you want clean hair and a life.
🍋 Nette | Lemon Puff eau de parfum — bright, elegant, and unapologetically confident. Lemon Puff – occasional daytime lift on sunny, cold mornings .nyc
💧 Collagen Plus by Thorne — skin, hair, joints, and hormones all say thank you.
🌙 Henry Rose | Dark Is Night — patchouli and vanilla: moody, feminine, and perfect for your main-character era.

And if you’re ready to glow from the inside out, not just your vanity shelf—book a perimenopause consult. We’ll create a custom skincare and hormone plan that actually fits you.

Because good skin starts in your bloodstream, not your bathroom. 💋

Luck doesn’t just happen. It shows up after you do.

When you finally listen to your body. When you stop settling for confusion and start asking for real answers. When you take the first step — that’s when everything starts to shift.

Don’t wait for luck. Take the chance.

📩 DM me BOOK to start your plan and get the clarity your body’s been asking for.

She came to me confused, frustrated, and unsure who to trust.

After months of conflicting advice, she finally got a plan that made sense — one built on real science, not guesswork.

Together, we replaced confusion with confidence. Now she knows what her body needs, what to expect, and how to support it through every hormonal shift.

This is what happens when women get informed, not dismissed.

✨ You deserve answers.
✨ You deserve care that actually works.

📩 DM me BOOK to start your own personalized plan.

Heart health isn’t just a “menopause thing.” It starts shifting in your 30s and 40s — right along with your hormones. ❤️‍🔥

As estrogen dips, cholesterol levels rise and your risk for heart disease goes up. Fun, right? 🙃

But you’ve got options:
🥗 Eat for your heart — less fried food, more fiber + color.
🏋️ Move daily (your future self will thank you).
😴 Manage belly fat + stress — both mess with your hormones.
💊 And don’t be afraid of HRT. The research is strong and it can help protect your heart and your sanity.

Midlife isn’t the time to slow down — it’s the time to tune up. 💪

11/18/2025

Give it up for estrogen cream, minoxidil, and Botox-fueled personal reinvention.

There is no shame in science. No shame in softness. No shame in doing what works.

Midlife is not a crisis—it’s a biochemical uprising with snacks.

I Hate Everyone breaks it all down with sarcasm, science, and sacred rage.

The holidays are full of cookies, cocktails, and chaos 🎄🍷—and you should enjoy them.

But between parties and peppermint mochas, your body still needs color on your plate. Each shade brings its own magic:

❤️ Red (tomatoes, strawberries, beets): Heart health + memory
🧡💛 Orange & Yellow (carrots, citrus, sweet potatoes): Eye health + immune support
💚 Green (spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts): Bone health + digestion
💙💜 Blue & Purple (blueberries, eggplant, purple cabbage): Brain health + memory
🤍🤎 White & Brown (mushrooms, onions, garlic): Immune system + inflammation defense

You don’t have to skimp or diet through December—just add color. A little rainbow on your plate keeps your hormones happy and your energy steady through the holiday swirl.

Eat the cookie and the kale. Your body knows what to do. 🌈✨

11/13/2025

Yes, the holidays are exhausting (and yes, they’re fun) — but if you’re always running on fumes, it might be more than seasonal burnout.

Between ages 37–55, shifting hormones can trigger all kinds of chaos:
🔥 Hot flashes
🤷🏻‍♀️ Irregular periods
😡 Mood swings
😴 Sleep disturbances

Here’s the thing: as a naturopath, people often assume I’m anti–hormone therapy.

Nope. Not even close. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be life-changing for the right candidates. We’re far better informed than our moms’ generation, and for most women, the benefits of HRT far outweigh the risks.

You don’t have to suffer through exhaustion or the rollercoaster of perimenopause. Take my hormone health quiz (link in bio), and let’s find out what your body’s trying to tell you.

Anxiety? Heart flutters? Sudden hot-cold sweats that make you question reality? 🥵🥶

You’re not crazy — you’re in perimenopause (aka the menopause transition).

It usually kicks in somewhere between 37–50 and can hang around for 7–8 years. I know… deep breath. 😅

The good news: you don’t have to white-knuckle it.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can dramatically ease — and sometimes erase — symptoms. When my clients pair HRT with a holistic plan (think stress support, movement, nutrition, and sleep), the results are life-changing.

You deserve to feel balanced again. Tap the link in my bio to book a tele-health consult and get your plan started.

Ever had a full-blown emotional crisis in public and blamed it on “the vibes”?

Yeah. Mine had bleachers, an umpire with a power complex, and perimenopause.

I wrote about that meltdown — and what it taught me — in my latest blog post: Perimenopause and the Baseball Mom.

But if I were my own patient that day, here’s what I would’ve prescribed:
💧 Drink water before diagnosing yourself.
🧘‍♀️ Breathe before you react.
🚶 Move before you spiral.
🥦 Eat something green before the chocolate chips.
💛 And stop apologizing for having needs.

Because sometimes, grace under pressure looks like pausing instead of performing.

Read the full blog — it’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever tried to keep her cool while her hormones staged a mutiny.
