Working. Momming. Learning. Unlearning. Growing. Stretching. Returning & simultaneously adventuring somewhere new. Oh, and trusting, a whole lot of trusting 🌀💕

And just like that my first season with Bo has come & gone! Our family is doing well and I am ever so slightly more well slept (🙏🏻🤞🏻) these days

It is a time of huge transitions for me. A new baby, new business partner (the fabulous .megan.arlt) and some other exciting changes at .

I think the biggest lesson I am supposed to be learning right now is “nothing lasts”. The hard days won’t last and the good times are fleeting as well. It’s all we can do to be present and go with the ever changing flow 🌀

I am back in the office tomorrow and looking forward to seeing all of my established patients as well as some new faces around the clinic. Thanks for trusting me with your care 💗

What a year it’s been!

I found out I was pregnant the day before Thanksgiving 2024. We had been trying for almost a year and were beside ourselves with excitement that we finally got that positive test. Two weeks later I lost the pregnancy. Cue devastation and sadness.

Miscarriage is heartbreaking and also quite common. A silver lining to this loss was that I was connected with a number of women who had also had a miscarriage. It was very healing to talk about it with other ladies who had been there, which is why I am sharing this story here. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat!

We ended up getting pregnant with Bo right away and we found out on New Year’s Day. He’s here and healthy and I still can’t believe it sometimes. This life is wild and wonderful and everything in-bewtween

I am looking forward to being back in the office at early January to support all of the amazing women, kiddos and families I have the opportunity to work with. My schedule is now open.

Here are some photos from this season of my family’s life. I will see you all in 2026! 💗✨

The fabulous .megan.chmelik will be covering my leave and I have the all the confidence in her to provide you with great care while I am learning how to mom 💕 ✨

New on Substack !

I love botanicals for symptoms of perimenopause and menopause because they typically work quite well with minimal risks and side effects

Maybe you will love them too 🌻

Every morning, your body is ready and waiting for sunlight ☀️

Not screens!

Natural and artificial light are not the same. Natural light is full-spectrum, meaning it contains all the colors of the rainbow

Not only that, but natural light is also dynamic, so the color intensities shift throughout the day.  

Morning is abundant in blue light 🔹

Blue light stimulates… 

🌀Morning Cortisol (a natural rise in morning cortisol gives you energy)
🌀Dopamine and other brain chemicals for mood and motivation
🌀Your internal clock (circadian rhythm) so you sleep better later

Evening shifts toward oranges and reds ♦️

Red light is more calming and less likely to interfere with melatonin production (your sleep hormone) than other spectrums of light. 

So, leveraging light to sync your circadian rhythm can be as simple as:

1. Stepping outside to soak up 5-10 minutes of morning sun
2. Doing that again for an afternoon break in the sun
3. Dimming screens after sunset (or using apps to reduce blue light)
4. Switching to red lights in the evening (even a basic red bulb works)
5. Darkening your room for sleep

Hopefully these feel like attainable steps towards supporting your circadian rhythm!

Did ya know that males are 50% of the equation when trying to conceive?

Yes, the Zyn and those hoppy IPAs can add up guys!

There’s a lot we can do to support male fertility in men who are currently trying to conceive (and I love to help with this!)

A great starting point can be to incorporate more antioxidants and omega-3s into the diet. These nutrients are vital for s***m health 💪🏻

Here are some top fertility foods for men:

1. Oysters and Shellfish – Extremely high in zinc for s***m production and motility.
2. Red Meat (grass-fed) – Zinc, iron, B12, and carnitine to support testosterone and s***m health.
3. Eggs – Choline and antioxidants to protect s***m DNA.
4. Nuts and Seeds (esp. Brazil nuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds) – Selenium, omega-3s, and zinc.
5. Fatty Fish (wild-caught salmon, mackerel) – Omega-3s for s***m membrane health.
6. Dark Chocolate (in moderation) – Antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress on s***m.
7. Garlic and Onions – Boost circulation and contain antioxidants for s***m vitality.
8. Liver – Again, a fertility powerhouse for both men and women.
9. Fruits rich in vitamin C (citrus, kiwi, berries) – Supports s***m count and motility.
10. Fermented Foods: Healthy gut = better nutrient absorption for hormone production

Botanical medicine can be extremely helpful during perimenopause and menopause!

Phytoestrogens, or plant estrogens, and adaptogens are two of my favorite classes of herbs to use with women who are dealing with hot flashes, insomnia, low libido, brain fog and fatigue associated with the natural shifts in hormones we see with aging

Each herb has different indications & I suggest speaking with an expert before starting a new regimen, but one thing I love about plants like black cohosh and red clover is that they can be extremely helpful at easing menopausal symptoms in women who are not a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, including breast cancer survivors

Some of my go-tos include:

☉Red clover
☉Black cohosh
☉Ashwaghanda
☉Siberian Rhubarb
☉Evening primrose oil

…just to name a few! 🪴
