Hot flashes aren’t the problem.
Sleep loss isn’t “just aging.”
And menopause isn’t something you need to just power through.

If you’ve been told your only option is “wait it out” or just “take this prescription,”
it’s time for a better conversation.

The Menopause Myth is a live educational webinar designed to help women understand what’s really happening during perimenopause and menopause — and what actually helps.

No fear.
No hype.
No replacing your OB-GYN.

Just clear, evidence-based education so you can advocate for yourself.

I prescribe GLP-1 medications — but I don’t run medication-only weight loss programs.

These medications can be incredibly helpful tools. They influence appetite, insulin signaling, and metabolic pathways that many people struggle with.
But they don’t work in isolation — and they were never meant to replace medical care.

Sustainable weight loss requires understanding why weight was gained in the first place: hormones, metabolism, nutrition, sleep, stress, muscle mass, and lifestyle patterns. Without addressing those, medication eventually hits a ceiling.

That’s why, in my practice, GLP-1s are used thoughtfully — as part of a comprehensive, personalized plan focused on long-term metabolic health, not quick fixes.

This is not primary care.
This is intentional, relationship-based medicine designed to help you feel strong, energized, and well — not just smaller.😉

I just wrapped up an interview for a functional medicine podcast 🎙️ and I’m still riding that post-conversation high.

We talked about what it really means to practice root-cause medicine in the real world — blending evidence-based conventional training with functional, lifestyle, and nutrition-focused care to help people actually feel like themselves again.

These conversations matter. They help cut through the noise, bring science back into wellness, and remind people that there is a thoughtful, grounded, and empowering way to approach health.

Can’t wait for this episode to drop — I’ll share details soon 💫

It’s a pretty harsh flu season, and with that comes a lot of people who feel that their symptoms are severe enough that they may need an antibiotic. But your doctor isn’t blowing you off when they don’t give you antibiotics for a virus.

They’re actually doing your microbiome a favor.

Antibiotics don’t treat viruses — but they do disrupt gut bacteria, lower microbial diversity, and increase the risk of yeast infections and overgrowth, GI symptoms, and future infections. That’s not even taking into account the risk of allergic reactions, which can be severe.

In a short visit, your doctor’s job is to rule out what’s dangerous and avoid causing harm.
And unnecessary antibiotics are harm.

Transform your sleep from “will I sleep tonight?” To every night is better than the last.

We don’t chase trends—we look at mechanisms.
NAD is central to cellular energy, repair, and resilience, which is why it’s part of thoughtful longevity and fatigue conversations when used appropriately.
