The first question isn’t how much money you have — it’s how involved you are in the conversation.

Taking control starts with asking for a seat at the table. From there, it’s about understanding where money comes in, where it goes out, and how decisions are made.

You don’t have to manage every bill, but you do need to know:
• What are we saving?
• What debt do we have?
• What is our net worth?

If your partner says, “I’m not sure,” that’s not a setback — it’s an opening. A moment to learn together, to build together, and to strengthen not only your finances, but your partnership.

Because the truth is, financial health is a part of overall health. The same sense of control, clarity, and confidence you bring to your body and mind should extend to your money.

When we take control of our health and wealth, we create stability, freedom, and peace of mind — the foundation for a stronger, healthier life.

Hormonal changes—from postpartum to perimenopause and menopause—can make restful sleep feel impossible. Night sweats, temperature swings, and disrupted rest are all too common. Piper & Mint created pajamas designed to support women through these shifts, using cooling, breathable fabrics that help regulate body temperature naturally.

I’m sharing these as an affiliate because I’ve used them myself and found real comfort—but as always, I only talk about products I personally use and genuinely love.

When the Women’s Health Initiative study came out in 2002, it sent shockwaves through medicine. Overnight, women were told to stop their hormone therapy—based on misleading data.

I remember walking into exam rooms, apologizing to women who were begging not to have their treatment stopped. Some refused, saying, “Over my dead body.”

Two decades later, we now know the truth: hormone replacement therapy can be safe and profoundly beneficial when prescribed correctly. Yet, many clinicians were never taught this after 2002—and that misinformation still lingers today.

It’s time to rewrite the narrative.
Women deserve clarity, not fear.
And hormones deserve a fair conversation—rooted in data, compassion, and empowerment.

🌍💜 Today is World Menopause Day.

Menopause: the silent conversation half the world will face.

It’s not just hot flashes. It can begin as early as your 30s, bring over 30 symptoms, and even change your heart, bones, brain, and sleep.

👉 Bone loss can spike by 20% in just 5 years.
👉 Heart attack risk rises once estrogen drops.
👉 Up to 80% of women struggle with sexual health—but most stay silent.

The real shock? Women are rarely told the truth.

You don’t have to just “push through.” With the right knowledge and tools, you can own this change—and protect your health for decades to come.

It’s time to break the silence.

NEW DATE! The Financial Literacy: What Wealthy Women Know seminar has been moved to next week.

On Thursday, October 23, 2025 (7:00–8:00 PM ET), I’ll be leading a live seminar at the Hillsdale Public Library, NJ designed to give women the tools, confidence, and clarity they need to build lasting financial security.

This isn’t theory—it’s personal.

When I turned 50, I realized that even as a physician working 100-hour weeks, I didn’t have financial security. I had lost everything on an investment that went wrong. That moment of fear became a turning point. I committed to learning, taking radical responsibility, and building wealth in a way I could count on.

Today, I’ve created a 7-figure real estate portfolio and, more importantly, a lifestyle of stability, health, and abundance. My mission now is to share what I’ve learned so other women don’t have to walk that same road alone.

What you’ll gain from this session:
✔️ Clear, actionable steps to start building wealth
✔️ Tools to reduce financial stress and grow confidence
✔️ A proven framework designed by a woman who’s been where you are

📍 Location: Hillsdale Library - 509 Hillsdale Avenue, Hillsdale, NJ

This is more than a lecture—it’s about women taking control of their future.

Today is National Mammography Day — a powerful reminder that your health deserves your attention.

A mammogram isn’t just a test. It’s an act of self-care and strength.
It’s a choice to take control, to stay informed, and to protect your future.

If you’re due for your screening, make the call today.
If you’ve already had yours, remind a friend to schedule hers.

Because when women take charge of their health, we don’t just protect our bodies — we protect our dreams, our families, and our future.

Empowerment starts with awareness. Action keeps it alive.

The silent truth about menopause and your bones: Most women don’t realize they can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the first few years after menopause.

That loss can start even earlier — during perimenopause — and often goes unnoticed until a fracture happens.

Here’s the reality:
> 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
> Only about 20% ever get tested in time.

Bone loss may be silent, but it’s not unstoppable.
You can take charge with smart nutrition, strength training, and hormone support that protects your future.

Your bones deserve the same attention as your heart, your hormones, and your mind.
Because strong bones mean freedom, confidence, and vitality for decades to come.

If you’re lying awake at night wondering why your mind won’t turn off, it’s not just in your head. Your stress levels, hormone balance, nutrition, and even blue light exposure all play a role in how well you rest.

When cortisol—the “fight or flight” hormone—spikes at night instead of winding down, your body stays alert when it should be calm.

Sleep isn’t just about bedtime routines. It’s about understanding what’s happening inside your body.

Take control of your health by looking at the full picture: stress, hormones, nutrition, and habits.

Better sleep starts with balance—inside and out.

Your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s your second brain, your immune ally, and your hormone balancer.

What many don’t realize is that everyday medications—from antibiotics to pain relievers—can quietly disrupt this delicate system. The result? Fatigue, bloating, mood swings, and inflammation that seem to come out of nowhere.

Ask questions. Choose wisely. Support your gut with real food, movement, and rest.

When you take charge of your microbiome, you protect more than your digestion—you protect your vitality.

“You’re not going crazy. You’re not making it up. And you’re definitely not alone.”

So many women walk into my office feeling broken. Confused. Dismissed. They’ve been told it’s “just stress” or “part of getting older.”

But what they’re really experiencing? It’s medical. It’s real. And it deserves attention.

The relief that comes when someone finally listens—that’s the moment healing begins.

If you’re feeling unheard… if something doesn’t feel right and you know there’s more to the story—I’m here.

Let’s sit down. Let’s talk. Let’s get to the root of it—together.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s talk about menopause and the brain.

Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—key chemicals that regulate mood, focus, and calm. That’s why many women notice anxiety, brain fog, mood swings, or low motivation during perimenopause and menopause.

- 62% report cognitive difficulties. (Healthline)
- 40% experience mood swings. (ACOG / UW Medicine)
- 60% notice trouble concentrating. (Verywell Health)
- 55%+ have poor sleep. (Verywell Health)
- 40% higher risk of depression in perimenopause. (The Guardian)

It’s not “in your head”—it’s biological, and it’s manageable.
