These questions women are asking Google aren’t random.�
In my years as a physician, I’ve heard these same concerns from girls, teens, and women at every stage of life asking for clarity, context, and care:�Is this normal? Why am I so tired? Why does my body feel different? Why does no one take this seriously?

Women’s health is not defined by a single hormone, lab value, or life phase. It’s shaped by complex interactions between the endocrine system, nervous system, metabolism, mental health, and lived experience. When something feels “off,” it’s rarely imagined and it’s also rarely caused by just one factor.

Too often, women are told their symptoms are ‘normal,’ ‘just stress,’ or ‘part of being a woman.’ While change is expected, symptoms that interfere with daily life, wellbeing, or sense of self deserve thoughtful evaluation and education, not dismissal.

Good healthcare starts with listening.�Better healthcare connects symptoms with physiology.�The best care empowers women with knowledge so they can advocate for themselves with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt confused, unheard, or unsure about what your body is telling you — you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong for asking questions.

Follow me for evidence-based women’s health education, honest conversations, and care that meets you exactly where you are in your journey! 🌿

Yes, coconut oil can be great for skin in general - it’s moisturizing and often used topically.

But the va**na is not just skin — look at it as a finely balanced ecosystem and coconut oil contains fatty acids that can disrupt the va**nal microbiome.

While those acids may help control harmful bacteria on the skin barrier, they can also reduce beneficial Lactobacillus, the “good bacteria” that help maintain a healthy va**nal pH.

As you may know, when that balance is disrupted, the risk of yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, irritation, and recurrent symptoms increases.

🌿 So what’s a more holistic option? Look for water-based, non-scented lubricants made specifically for va**nal use. These support moisture without interfering with the microbiome and are far less likely to trigger irritation or infections.

There’s a lot of hype around Addyi right now, but is it actually justified?

This isn’t a new medication. Addyi has been on the market for 7–8 years. While it recently received a new FDA approval, sales have historically remained low — and that’s worth asking why.

One important detail that often gets overlooked: Addyi does not increase female arousal.

Even the manufacturer acknowledges this. Yet by coloring the pill pink, it’s frequently positioned as a “female Viagra,” despite working very differently.

What Addyi actually does is enhance serotonin activity in the brain, placing it in a category similar to antidepressants like Prozac.

And, to me, that raises an important question about the message being sent to women — that low desire is primarily “in their head.”

In my clinical experience, while this medication may help a small subset of women, it does not address the full picture of female s*xual response.

Libido, for women, is never just one thing. It’s influenced by hormones, stress, sleep, relationships, mental load, finances, and overall health.

So when a medication like this is heavily promoted it’s critical to pause, look at the evidence, and understand how it works before accepting the narrative.

That’s exactly what we’re doing this month in my free journal club, Dr. T’s Evidence Edit. Join me as I break down the actual study data behind Addyi, how female libido is measured, and what the research does (and doesn’t) support.

Female libido has been misunderstood for decades and the science behind treating it deserves a closer look.

This month in Dr. T’s Evidence Edit, we’re breaking down the data behind Addyi and what research actually tells us about desire, brain chemistry, and why female libido can’t be reduced to a single hormone or pill.

If you’ve ever felt confused, dismissed, or oversold a solution when it comes to your s*x drive — this conversation is for you.

“Why would a man choose OBGYN?”

Here’s the honest answer.

I didn’t choose women’s health by accident. I chose it because I watched the most important woman in my life suffer.

I lost my mother to ovarian cancer. I watched her pain go unnoticed for too long. I saw symptoms minimized. I felt the helplessness of loving someone while the system failed to listen fast enough, deeply enough, or compassionately enough.

That experience changed me.

It taught me that women’s pain is too often dismissed. That symptoms are labeled as “normal,” “stress,” or “just hormones.” That women are expected to endure far more than they ever should — quietly.

I became an OB-GYN because I wanted to be the physician who listens.
The one who looks deeper.
The one who takes women seriously — every single time.

Being a male physician in this space isn’t about ego or novelty. It’s about responsibility. It’s about advocacy. It’s about using my position to push for better care, better education, and better outcomes for women who deserve to be heard before they’re in crisis.

Every patient I care for carries a reminder of my “why.”

And every woman deserves the care my mother didn’t get soon enough.

This work is personal. Always has been.

Modern medicine wasn’t designed for complex hormone issues, long-term healing, or proactive care, and as a physician, I’ve felt those limitations for years.

That’s exactly why I created my VIP Membership.

This membership allows me to practice medicine the way it should be practiced:
✅ With time
✅ With data
✅ With access
✅ With ongoing support

Inside the VIP Membership, care is an all-inclusive experience including advanced full-body functional testing (we’re talking hormones, cardiovascular health, adrenals, inflammation, environmental and food allergies, and more), hormone medications, supplements, every-other-month physician visits, monthly health coach sessions, direct text access to me between visits, online resource library, access to my immersive annual VIP Wellness Retreat, and more!

No rushed appointments.
No fragmented care.
No surprise costs.

Just consistent, strategic, physician-led care designed around you personally.If you’re curious whether this level of care is right for you, I’m hosting a free informational webinar tomorrow evening where I’ll walk through the VIP Membership in detail, answer common questions, and hold a live Q+A at the end.

Calling s***m a ‘germ’ is catchy, but not exactly accurate.

Semen isn’t necessarily dirty or infectious by default, but it is alkaline, while the va**na is naturally acidic. When the two mix, it can temporarily shift va**nal pH, which may lead to a noticeable odor afterward. In most cases, the va**na self-corrects within 24–48 hours. If odor persists, that’s a signal to look deeper.

And no — you do not need harsh soaps, douching, gimmicky products, or DIY va**nal treatments. Many at-home remedies (especially those involving acidic or cleansing agents) can disrupt the va**nal microbiome, worsen symptoms, or increase the risk of infections like bacterial vaginosis.

Share this with a girlfriend to help protect her pH ✨

“During perimenopause and menopause a woman’s brain starts to ‘eat itself.’”

Obviously, that doesn’t sound good. Let’s break that down.

Hormonal shifts, such as those that occur during perimenopause and menopause, absolutely affect the brain. Estrogen plays a role in memory, mood, sleep, and how the brain uses energy, to name a few. Yes, that can translate into brain fog, word-finding issues, anxiety, or feeling “off.”

But your brain is NOT consuming itself 🙅‍♂️

What IS happening is a temporary change in brain metabolism and signaling, and the brain is actually incredibly adaptive. With proper evaluation, support, and, when appropriate, hormone therapy, many of these symptoms can improve significantly.

Fear-based messaging may get views, but it doesn’t truly help women understand their bodies or feel empowered during this transition.

If this resonated, save this post, share it with a woman who’s questioning what’s happening to her body, and be sure you’re following me for evidence-based conversations about hormones, perimenopause, menopause, and general women’s health without the fear.

The claim that “no underwear at night is better for your va**na” is not a universal truth — it’s a personal preference.

If going commando feels good for you — fine.
If cotton underwear feels better — also fine.

What actually matters when choosing underwear:
🌿 Breathable fabrics (think cotton or moisture-wicking blends)
🌿 A fit that doesn’t rub, trap moisture, or dig in
🌿 Changing out of sweaty or damp underwear promptly
🌿 Avoiding prolonged wear of tight, synthetic styles

Do what works for you. No need to over-complicate things.

If hormone advice were one-size-fits-all, women wouldn’t feel so lost and confused when it comes to their health.

Trends oversimplify a system that’s anything but simple.

Your age, cycle, stress levels, and health history all matter—and ignoring them is exactly why so many women feel worse, not better.

That’s exactly why I created my free journal club, Dr. T’s Evidence Edit - a monthly, education-first journal club where we break down real research in women’s health so you can learn how to read studies, understand data, and separate facts from trends.
