I have dedicated over 25 years to the field of Emergency Medicine, where I've gained invaluable experience in acute care. However, over time, I felt that my approach often limited me to putting "band-aids" on patients' problems rather than addressing the root causes of their health issues.
As I entered menopause, I encountered significant changes in my own body—struggles with fatigue, weight gain, and a metabolism that no longer functioned as it once had. Frustrated by the lack of effective answers from conventional medicine, I decided to study functional medicine. This journey was not just personal; it was also driven by my desire to better serve my patients.
Initially, I was concerned about how others might perceive this shift, but I was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming support I received from friends and colleagues. Many shared similar experiences and concerns, reinforcing my commitment to this new path. Now, I focus primarily on helping women navigate the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. My goal is to empower them to feel their best, just as I have managed to transform my own health.
With a rich background in health and wellness, I have found my passion in functional medicine and women’s holistic health. I integrate my love of medicine, root cause healing, and integrative nutrition into a unique, bio-individualized approach to wellness.
Utilizing a functional medicine framework, I employ specialty lab testing, lifestyle and dietary adjustments, therapeutic-grade supplementation, and natural modalities to help restore balance and wellness to my clients' lives.
My mission is clear: to help others unlock their potential, enabling them to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I specialize in perimenopause, menopause, metabolic health, and weight management, and I'm here to guide you on your journey to optimal well-being.
I help women over forty who are menopausal with unwanted weight gain achieve sustainable weight loss, balanced hormones, and renewed energy so that they can reclaim their vitality and zest for life.
