Dear patient, your well-being extends far beyond lab results. Your quality of life is important.

How you feel each day matters. Your energy, your sleep, your mood, your comfort, and your ability to show up for yourself and the people you care about all reflect your health in meaningful ways. If something feels “off” even when your labs appear normal, it deserves attention. You deserve to feel well, supported, and understood.

If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, I am here to help you understand what is happening and explore a plan that aligns with your goals and your body’s needs.

If you are ready to talk about your symptoms, please reach out or schedule a visit. Your health truly matters.

When we talk about getting healthier, so many people immediately think of pushing harder, sweating more and forcing their bodies into exhaustion. But movement was never meant to be a punishment. It is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing, connection and long-term well-being, and it works best when it feels supportive rather than harsh.

Mindful movement invites you to slow down, listen to your body and choose activities that help you feel strong, calm and present. You do not need extreme workouts to improve your health. You simply need movement that respects your limits and honors your natural rhythm.

If you are ready to create a movement routine that feels realistic and kind to your body, I would love to help you get started.

The truth about hormone therapy is that it should feel clear, safe, and personalized to your needs.

Many women come to me feeling unsure or even afraid of hormone therapy because of confusing messages they have heard over the years. I want you to know that you deserve accurate information, not fear. Modern evidence shows that hormone therapy can be a safe and effective option for many women when it is thoughtfully prescribed and closely monitored.

Hormone therapy is not meant to be a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a tool that may help support sleep, mood, hot flashes, vaginal comfort, and overall quality of life, depending on your personal health history and goals. My role is to help you understand your options and guide you toward choices that truly feel right for your body and your future health.

If you have questions about hormone therapy or want to explore whether it is appropriate for you, I am here to talk through it with care and clarity.

If you would like to discuss your symptoms or learn more about your options, please reach out or schedule a visit. Your comfort and understanding matter.

When it comes to complex conditions like dysautonomia, there’s rarely a quick fix. It’s a process — step by step, symptom by symptom — and the real progress happens over time.

Dr. Rebecca Berens and Dr. Tal Gospin talk about something many patients feel but rarely hear acknowledged:
It’s incredibly frustrating to be told everything is “normal,” get ten minutes with a provider, and then never hear from them again.

Good care requires follow-up, attention, and someone who actually listens.
And if your current care doesn’t offer that? You deserve a provider who will.

If you’re looking for patient-centered, consistent follow-up care, learn more at www.vidafamilymed.com.

Sleep problems in perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and at times overwhelming.

If you are suddenly waking up in the middle of the night, struggling to fall asleep, or noticing that your rest no longer feels refreshing, please know that there is a real reason for what you are experiencing. Hormonal fluctuations in perimenopause can affect the parts of the brain that regulate sleep, temperature, and stress responses, which can make restful sleep much harder to achieve.

You are not doing anything wrong. Your body is asking for support, and you deserve care that helps you understand what is happening and what can help.

If sleep has been affecting your energy, your mood, or your quality of life, I am here to guide you through your options and work with you to find a plan that feels right for you.

If you would like to talk about your symptoms or explore treatment, please reach out or schedule a visit. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Many patients with long COVID or post-infectious syndromes hear, “It’s just anxiety.”
But what if that anxiety is part of a real biological process, not just psychological?

In this conversation, Dr. Rebecca Berens and Dr. Tal Gospin dive into the fascinating overlap between anxiety, depression, trauma, and post-infectious dysautonomia.

They discuss how treatments like SSRIs, antihistamines, beta blockers, and alpha blockers can sometimes help not just mood, but autonomic regulation, inflammation, and sleep, hinting at shared pathways between the brain, immune, and nervous systems.

Whether you’re a clinician seeing these patterns or a patient navigating them yourself, this episode helps connect the dots between mental health, neurobiology, and post-viral recovery.

🎙️ Featuring: Dr. Tal Gospin
👩‍⚕️ Hosted by: Dr. Rebecca Berens | Vida Family Medicine

💬 What patterns have you noticed in your patients or your own recovery journey?

Follow for more conversations that bridge mental health, biology, and integrative care, helping patients and clinicians understand the whole picture of healing.

Did you know not all hormone therapies are FDA approved for women?

Some products, like certain pellets or compounded creams, are sold in the wellness market without rigorous testing for safety, effectiveness, or consistent dosing. That means there’s no guarantee the dose is accurate, and some therapies may put your health at risk.

Before starting any hormone treatment, it’s important to ask your doctor if it is FDA approved and evidence-based. Your safety and long-term health always come first.

💛 Schedule a consultation today at www.vidafamilymed.com to explore safe and personalized hormone options designed for you.

Dr. Rebecca Berens and Dr. Tal Gospin talk about something you might not expect, how energy drinks can actually affect your thyroid.

It’s not just the caffeine that’s concerning. Many energy drinks contain herbal ingredients that can interfere with thyroid function, leading to symptoms that mimic dysautonomia, like fatigue, heart palpitations, or dizziness.

The tricky part? These effects can be intermittent, so they don’t always show up on lab tests. That’s why looking at lifestyle habits, not just blood work, is so important when evaluating symptoms.

Sometimes, it’s not about adding more, it’s about taking a closer look at what might be throwing your body off balance.

Many women are surprised to learn that testosterone plays an important role in their overall health, energy, and wellbeing.

Low testosterone can lead to fatigue, low libido, or changes in mood, but not all treatments are safe or effective. Pellets and compounded creams are not FDA approved and can cause unsafe hormone levels.

If you’re considering testosterone therapy, talk with a menopause-trained physician about FDA-approved options that can be safely adjusted and monitored over time.

Your hormones deserve expert care that prioritizes your safety and long-term health.

💛 Schedule a consultation at www.vidafamilymed.com to discuss your options and find what’s right for you.

When your labs and tests all come back “normal,” but you know something’s off, it can be incredibly frustrating. So many patients hear this and feel dismissed, when what they really need is validation and support.

As Dr. Rebecca Berens and Dr. Tal Gospin share, sometimes the issue isn’t visible in standard tests, especially with conditions like dysautonomia or long COVID. The key is listening, believing patients, and focusing on what can be done to help them feel better.

Because “normal” results don’t always mean you’re okay, and compassionate care means acknowledging that.

Before starting any hormone therapy, it’s important to pause and ask the right questions.

Not all hormone treatments are created equal. Some may not be FDA approved or safely adjustable once started. Taking a few minutes to understand what you’re putting into your body can protect your health in the long run.

Ask your provider:
1️⃣ Is it FDA approved and tested for women?
2️⃣ Can the dose be adjusted safely?
3️⃣ What are the possible side effects or long-term risks?

Your comfort matters, but your safety always comes first.

If you’re considering hormone therapy, schedule a consultation with Dr. Anushree Kumar at www.vidafamilymed.com to explore safe, evidence-based options that fit your needs.
