No more birth plans or baby showers, but now you’re wondering why your joints ache, your sleep is wrecked and your memory feels like Swiss cheese. Perimenopause and menopause don’t just affect your periods, they touch everything: mood, metabolism, bones, heart and brain health. The hormonal shifts are real, but you don’t have to tough them out alone.

I specialize in helping California women 40+ take charge of their hormones and long-term health, 100% virtually.

Here’s a hot flash of truth: after menopause, a woman’s risk of heart disease rises dramatically. Why? Estrogen helps keep blood vessels flexible and cholesterol levels in check, so when it drops, your heart has to work harder.

But don’t panic, plan. Lifestyle, nutrition, and, yes, individualized hormone therapy can all play a role in protecting your heart. Menopause isn’t the end of vitality, it’s the beginning of proactive health.

California women: I’m accepting new virtual patients who are ready to take their heart (and hormones) seriously.

Tired of feeling like a stranger in your own body? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through perimenopause or menopause. From night sweats to mood crashes to changes in weight and libido, these symptoms are common, but not normal to suffer through.

I specialize in helping women 40+ navigate hormonal shifts and prevent long-term issues like heart disease and osteoporosis. If you’re ready to feel balanced, strong and like you again, I’m accepting new California-based virtual patients now.

This may be the most important thing
you read today! Fear that was propagated around hormone therapy over 20 years ago has led millions of women to miss out on the benefits of hormone therapy.

Want to learn more? Don't just take my word for it. I highly recommend starting with the book - it clearly lays out the science for all to read.
Next step- find a hormone-literate doc and take health into your own hands!

Midlife is the moment to stop waiting for a “better time” to prioritize your health, this is the time.

Your hormones may be shifting, but so is your power. The choices you make now can dramatically reduce your risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes. Even small changes, like understanding your hormone levels or managing symptoms like fatigue or brain fog, can make a big impact on your future self. Don’t settle for survival mode.

I’m here to help California women 40+ get clarity, confidence and a personalized approach to thriving through midlife.

Healing isn’t just about prescriptions, it’s about partnership.

We not only focus on hormone balance, gut health, and stress reduction, but also on empowerment. Because real healing happens when women are taught what’s happening in their bodies and how to work with it, not against it. If your symptoms are being brushed off or blamed on age, it’s time for a second opinion.

My virtual practice is open to California women ready for answers, and ready to feel powerful again.

Choosing to take charge of your menopause health doesn’t just help you, it shows other women they can do the same. When you learn about hormone therapy, bone health or heart risks, you set an example. Many women don’t realize that symptoms like brain fog or sleepless nights can be improved.

By standing up for your well-being, you give others permission to care for theirs too. Need guidance? Let’s talk. (Virtual visits make it easy. California ladies, I’m here for you!)

Many women blame themselves when menopause brings brain fog, weight gain or low energy. But these are hormone problems, not personal failures! Estrogen affects your brain, bones, metabolism and more.

Did you know that after menopause, your risk of UTIs goes up? It’s not just bad luck, it’s because low estrogen changes your vaginal environment, letting bacteria stick around longer. To prevent infections:
• Drink plenty of water to flush out bacteria.
• P*e right after s*x to clear any germs.
• Try a vaginal estrogen cream (it helps restore protective tissue).
• Avoid irritating soaps or sprays "down there."

If you’re tired of constant bathroom trips or burning, let’s talk! Simple changes (or hormone therapy) can make a big difference. (I’m here to help. Schedule a virtual visit today).

Think you’re too young for menopause? Think again.
Perimenopause (the transition before menopause) can start as early as your late 30s and early menopause (before age 45) affects 1 in 100 women. Signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings and trouble sleeping.

If you’re under 45 and noticing these changes, don’t ignore them. Your hormones might be shifting earlier than expected. The sooner you recognize the signs, the sooner you can get support. Let’s talk about what’s happening in your body and how to feel like yourself again
