〰️ LIVE WEBINAR MON 9/8 〰️

okayyyy - for the last 11 months, I’ve been doing a deep dive into longevity medicine

I’ve been working on this for almost a year now and I am super excited to finally share it with you!

what if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong?

at 62, my client Christy couldn’t walk upstairs without knee pain. she had prediabetes, constant brain fog, and felt defeated by her body
fast forward to 6 months later: blood glucose is optimal. energy restored. knee pain gone. her transformation was so remarkable, her partner joined my program too!

the difference wasn’t a miracle supplement or extreme diet. it was understanding that 75% of how we age is actually within our control

join me Monday, Sept 8th for Redefining Aging - we’ll chat about the science-backed strategies that help people add decades of vitality to their lives

this isn’t about restriction, deprivation, or intense protocols 〰️ I promise you’ll leave with a completely different perspective on what’s possible for your health

〰️ ABOUT ME 〰️
growing up surrounded by healthcare providers, I always knew I’d work in medicine. but my journey took an unexpected turn

I started as an ER tech in a level 1 trauma center, and while I was learning so much, something felt deeply wrong. unless a patient was actively dying, the system offered band-aid solutions: antibiotics, pain meds, and out the door. the underlying health issues that brought people back again and again were never addressed. people were stuck in a broken cycle, and I felt powerless to truly help them

that’s when I discovered naturopathic medicine by complete chance, and everything changed for me

as a naturopathic doctor, I’m not a biohacker obsessed with optimization. I’m not a super clinical MD focused solely on data. I work with your body’s innate healing potential - what we call the 〰️vis medicatrix naturae〰️ the healing power of nature

up to 75% of how we age is within our control. the most powerful medicine isn’t found in a lab, it’s found in how we nourish, move, and care for ourselves daily

but taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be about restriction

I love showing people that cooking nourishing meals can be creative and fun, that movement can feel like play, that caring for your body is an act of celebration, not deprivation. when you align with your body’s natural rhythms and needs, health becomes joyful

the ER showed me what’s broken in healthcare. now I get to show people what’s possible when we work with the body’s incredible capacity for healing and regeneration. Because you don’t have to choose between health and happiness, they’re meant to go hand in hand

your body knows how to thrive - it just needs the right conditions. I’m here to help you create them

〰️ MYTH vs. FACT 〰️
(1) aging isn’t inevitable. the CDC confirms that 75% of chronic diseases are lifestyle-driven. this means you have tremendous power over how you age - through what you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and how you manage stress.

(2) every little bit of movement counts (PMID: 21459799). you don’t need to become a gym rat if you don’t want to. a daily walk, gentle yoga, or dancing in your kitchen all count. the goal is consistent movement, not perfect workouts.

(3) neurogenesis = the process of growing new neurons. learning new skills, regular movement, quality sleep, and social connections all support your brain’s ability to stay sharp and create new neural pathways

(4) hormesis = good stress! acute stress from exercise, cold exposure, or challenging yourself mentally can make you more resilient and support healthy aging. it’s that chronic, unmanaged stress that’s harmful.

(5) while certain supplements can be helpful, no pill can replace the fundamentals. getting 7-9 hours of sleep and moving your body daily will do more for your longevity than any supplement.

(6) you don’t need to overhaul your entire diet overnight. adding more vegetables, reducing processed food, drinking more water, and eating mindfully are simple changes that create profound long-term benefits.

〰️ WHAT I MEAN BY LONGEVITY MEDICINE 〰️

let’s clear something up - longevity medicine isn’t about obsessing over the latest expensive supplement or torturing yourself with extreme protocols

real longevity medicine is about prolonging your healthspan - those vibrant, energized years where you feel strong, capable, and excited about life. it’s the difference between simply existing and truly thriving

I see too many people getting caught up in the biohacker mentality - spending thousands on gadgets, following rigid protocols, or depriving themselves of joy in the name of “optimization.” that’s not longevity medicine… that’s just another form of diet culture wrapped in fancy science.

true longevity medicine has an abundance mindset. it’s about having energy for everything you love. being present for all of life’s adventures. feeling strong enough to chase your dreams at any age.
it’s choosing movement that makes you feel alive, not punished. eating foods that nourish AND delight you. building resilience through sustainable practices that work with your real life, not against it.

the goal isn’t to live forever or achieve some impossible standard of perfection. it’s about feeling vibrant and capable for as long as possible - so you can say yes to spontaneous adventures, keep up with your grandchildren, travel the world, or simply have the energy to show up fully for the people you love.

longevity medicine should enhance your life, not restrict it. it should give you more options, not fewer. More energy, not more stress.
that’s the kind of longevity medicine I practice - and it’s what I want for you too.

LIFESPAN is simply the number of years you’re alive - from birth to death.

HEALTHSPAN is the number of years you’re healthy and thriving - free from chronic disease, disability, and significant decline in physical or cognitive function.

in the United States, the average lifespan is about 76 years, but the average healthspan ends around age 63. this means most Americans spend their final 13 years dealing with chronic disease, disability, or significant health decline.

think about that for a moment - over a decade of life spent not feeling well.

we’ve gotten really good at extending lifespan. people are living longer than ever before.

but we haven’t necessarily gotten better at extending healthspan. many people spend their final decades dealing with chronic diseases, taking multiple medications, and unable to do the activities they love.

the goal isn’t just to live longer - it’s to live BETTER.

imagine being 80 years old and still having the energy to travel, play with grandchildren, pursue hobbies, and feel vibrant in your body. that’s what healthspan is all about.

research shows that up to 75% of aging is influenced by lifestyle choices. this means we have tremendous power over not just how long we live, but how well we live.

through evidence-based lifestyle interventions - the right nutrition, movement, stress management, sleep optimization, and detoxification support - we can add years to our healthspan, not just our lifespan.

the choices you make today don’t just determine how long you’ll live - they determine how WELL you’ll live every single one of those years.

✨ what will you do with an extra 10 vibrant years?
