Our screening of The M Factor 2: Before the Pause was so good! 😊 Our Nurse Practitioners and staff LOVED meeting everyone and being in a room where women felt comfortable sharing their stories, experiences, and questions so openly.

What talked about advocating for yourself, how to seek care, understanding your body, and so much important information women are rarely given.

Huge thank you to RBF, Your Authentic Champagne Bar for hosting and to every woman who showed up, shared, listened, and supported one another. We’re so, SO grateful for this community. 💕

“Your labs are normal”… but you don’t feel normal.
Let’s talk about that. 💬

In traditional medicine, clinicians are trained to treat disease, not always to optimize function - and this is where midlife women often get missed. 🩺

Lab “normal” ranges are statistical averages, not personalized targets. A value can be technically normal and still be suboptimal for you - especially during perimenopause and menopause, when hormones fluctuate and symptoms don’t always show up clearly on labs. 🔬

At our clinic, we don’t treat numbers in isolation.
We treat women. 💗

We look at:
• how you feel
• your symptoms and quality of life
• patterns over time
• labs in context - safely and evidence-based ✨

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “fine” but your body says otherwise, you’re not wrong - and you’re not alone. 🤍

We're here for you...💞

✨ Book We 🩷🩷🩷 Right Now ✨

If you’re in PERIMENOPAUSE, this one deserves a spot on your nightstand. 💕
“The Perimenopause Survival Guide” by Heather Hirsch MD is a favorite of Kristen Nawyn, MSN, AGNP-C, MSCP - and for good reason. 📚

This book does an incredible job breaking down:
💫 What’s actually happening hormonally during perimenopause
💫 Why symptoms can feel confusing, overwhelming, or dismissed
💫 Evidence-based options for feeling better
💫 How to approach midlife with clarity instead of fear

It’s practical, empowering, and validating - the kind of resource that makes women say, “Oh… THIS makes sense now.”

This same education-first, compassionate approach is what Kristen brings to her care for women navigating perimenopause at our Raleigh location every day.
