Many women are told their symptoms are “just PMS.”
But for those living with PMDD, the experience is far more intense, and often life-altering.

The difference lies in severity and impact: PMS causes discomfort, while PMDD disrupts daily functioning and emotional stability.

Understanding this distinction validates what women have long felt: it’s not exaggeration, it’s physiology.

And it’s treatable.

👉 Not sure if what you’re experiencing is PMS or PMDD? Let’s review your symptoms together.

Once thought of as a performance enhancer for bodybuilders, creatine is proving to be a powerful ally for women navigating menopause.

Emerging research highlights its role in:

💪 Muscle maintenance → Preserving lean mass as estrogen declines

🧠 Cognitive clarity → Supporting memory and mental sharpness

🦴 Bone health → Complementing strategies for strength and fracture prevention

Creatine works at the cellular level, improving energy production in muscles and the brain. For women in menopause, that translates into resilience where it matters most: physical strength, mental clarity, and long-term health.

This isn’t hype. It’s evidence. And it’s reshaping how we think about nutrition and supplementation for women beyond 40.

Here's what you may not realize:

Low libido may point to estrogen decline.

Difficulty with arousal may signal a testosterone imbalance.

Pain with intimacy may trace back to vaginal estrogen loss.

When intimacy feels off, it’s not just about your relationship. It’s about your physiology.

That’s why we never dismiss libido changes. We listen. We investigate. We treat the cause, not just the symptom.

👉 Want to learn how hormones and metabolism shape intimacy? Let’s walk through it together.

🚨 HUGE FDA NEWS FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH 🚨

The FDA has officially REMOVED the Black Box Warning on topical estrogen — and this is a MAJOR win for women everywhere. 🙌

For YEARS this warning has created fear, confusion, hesitation, and unnecessary barriers for women seeking relief from symptoms that drastically impact quality of life — vaginal dryness, pain with intimacy, urinary symptoms, recurrent infections, and more.

The science has always supported that low-dose topical estrogen is SAFE. And now the FDA has finally aligned with the evidence.

One step closer to this being mainstream… one step closer to women getting the care they deserve… one step closer to normalizing empowered, evidence-based hormone care.

This is a huge moment. And it matters.

Women deserve access. Women deserve relief. Women deserve to feel at home in their body again. 💛

Perimenopause brain fog have you feeling like a zombie?

Perimenopause brain fog isn’t just “forgetfulness.” It’s the hormonal shift that scrambles focus, slows recall, and leaves you feeling mentally drained, like you’re moving through the day in a haze.

Declining estrogen and progesterone can change how your brain uses neurotransmitters, impacting everything from memory to mood.

You don’t have to feel like the undead. With the right testing and treatment, mental clarity can come back to life. Book your consultation today!

💛 Medicine is about people — not just lab results.

Today I observed a doctor’s appointment that reminded me why I went into medicine. When the internist walked in, he never made eye contact. No greeting. No warmth. He went straight to the computer, talked to the screen, reviewed the patient's lab results out loud, chastised her for forgetting to take her meds at times, and walked out.

Not once did he ask how she was doing.
Not once did he ask if she was having any issues.

What he didn’t know — because he didn’t care to ask — is that my mom is caring for my dad, who has advanced Alzheimer’s. That role takes a tremendous toll. Studies show caregivers have a 63% higher mortality rate, and up to 40% of Alzheimer’s caregivers pass away from stress-related conditions before the loved one they care for.

When I tried to share this with him, he spoke over me and continued typing.

It was heartbreaking. This is not what medicine should be. If this is what your provider visits are like I encourage you to find a new provider. There are those of us that truly care. We are not just there for a paycheck or to talk to our computer.

When you see me as your provider, know this —
👉 I want to know what’s going on in your life.
👉 The good and the bad.
👉 The things that weigh on you and the things that bring you joy.

Because you are more than your labs, and your health is deeply connected to your life story. ❤️

🥦 You don’t need another fad diet — you just need more fiber.
Fiber helps balance estrogen, curb cravings, stabilize blood sugar, and keep your metabolism humming.

Start simple: add a handful of berries, a scoop of chia seeds, or an extra serving of greens each day.

Little steps = lasting results. 💚
