A Little Health Love for the Men in Our Lives

Happy Father’s Day! 💙 Hello Reader, This weekend, we’re sending some love to all the dads, father figures, partners, brothers, and men who are doing their best — showing up for their families, working hard, and trying to stay healthy in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. While my practice primarily focuses on women’s hormones and preventative care, I also support the health journeys of many men — especially those who want to feel more energized, optimize their labs, or just feel more...

It's official... I'm in my mid-thirties 🤯 Hello Reader! I'm officially 35 today! It seems like just yesterday I was turning 26! Where has the time gone??? Regardless, I am thankful for the road that led me here and I am embracing what the future holds. Just FYI, this isn’t going to be my typical wellness email. No health tips or low-tox product suggestions today. Just me, writing to you from the heart on my birthday… I woke up in a reflective mood this morning... If you had told the college...

To The Women who juggle it all - happy mother's day! Hello Reader, Whether you’re a mom, celebrating a mom, or simply someone who pours into others daily—this is your invitation to slow down and check in with yourself. Mother’s Day can be a beautiful time to reflect on the power of nurturing. And here’s the truth I remind my patients of every week: You deserve to receive the same care you so freely give. That might look like giving yourself permission to rest without guilt, saying “yes” to...

☀️ The Morning Routine That Changed Lauren's Health Hello Reader, I want to share a real-life patient story today — one that might inspire your own morning routine if you’ve been feeling tired, stressed, or just not quite yourself lately. When "Lauren" first came to see me, she was doing everything right — eating clean, working out, trying to stay positive — but she still felt drained. She described herself as “tired but wired,” and her energy was tanking by 2pm. Her weight wasn’t budging,...

Clear Skin Is on the Way – Stay Tuned! Hello Reader, I know how frustrating acne can be. You’ve tried all the trendy products, eliminated dairy (again), and spent hours researching… but those breakouts keep coming back. Here’s the thing: acne isn’t just a skincare problem. It’s often a sign of deeper imbalances—hormones, gut health, stress, and even nutrient deficiencies. And when you address those, your skin can finally heal. That’s why I’ve been working on something BIG—The Acne Fix, a...

Before you spend $$$ on labs, read this first! Hello Reader, If you’ve ever been told, “Your labs are normal,” but you know something feels off—you're not imagining things. Standard lab panels often miss key imbalances, especially when it comes to hormones. That’s because hormone testing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s not just about what you test, but also when and how you test. 👉 Common mistakes people make with hormone testing:✔ Testing at the wrong time in your cycle – Did you know your...
