Let’s talk Vitamin B12 — one of the most underrated nutrients for energy, mood, metabolism, and healthy aging. 💉

B12 plays a key role in:
✨ Energy production (your mitochondria love it)
✨ Healthy red blood cells & oxygen delivery
✨ Nervous system + brain support
✨ Mood regulation and neurotransmitter balance
✨ Thyroid + metabolism function
✨ Hormone health and detox pathways

And here’s the thing… many women in midlife are low in B12 without realizing it.
Why?
• Decreased absorption with age
• Medications like metformin or PPIs
• Gut conditions (SIBO, IBS, low stomach acid)
• Vegan or vegetarian diets
• Autoimmune conditions like pernicious anemia

B12 injections can be a game changer when levels are low or absorption is compromised. They deliver B12 directly into the bloodstream for:
💉 Faster absorption
💉 More reliable correction of deficiency
💉 Improved energy + mental clarity
💉 Support for mood, sleep, and metabolism

If you struggle with fatigue, brain fog, tingling, weakness, low mood, or poor concentration, B12 may be worth investigating with your practitioner.

Your body runs better when you give it what it needs. ✨

Your symptoms aren’t setbacks—they’re information.
Midlife isn’t a breakdown point; it’s a data-rich season where your body speaks louder and clearer than ever before.

Hot flashes, sleep changes, weight shifts, mood swings, bloating—none of these are failures. They’re signals. Clues. Invitations to look deeper at your concerns, your metabolism, your stress load, and your daily habits.

Instead of pushing through or blaming yourself, try asking:
✨ What is my body trying to communicate?
✨ Where do I need more support, nourishment, or rest?
✨ What needs to shift as I move into this new phase?

Midlife is not the time to give up. It’s the time to lean in, listen differently, and create a version of health that truly supports who you are now.
Your next chapter can be your strongest one yet. 💜

A sneak peak into my personal life. 🇮🇹🇬🇷🇫🇷🇲🇹

I married my husband on September 13th 2025 and we took the last 2 weeks of October off for our dream vacation. 😍

We went on a Mediterranean cruise 🚢 that stopped in Rome, Athens, Mykonos, Valletta Malta, Sicily, Salerno, Pisa and Cannes France.

This vacation was full of sight seeing/walking 🚶‍♀️ , cappuccinos ☕️, wine 🍷, pasta 🍝 and sunshine ☀️

💜 World Menopause Day 💜

Today is about more than awareness — it’s about empowerment.

Menopause is a natural, powerful transition — not something to be feared, silenced, or endured alone. As a naturopathic doctor, my mission is to help women navigate this phase with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Through personalized care, nutrition, lifestyle, and hormone support, I help women reclaim energy, restore balance, and rediscover joy in their bodies.

✨ You are not “past your prime.”
✨ You are entering a new, wiser, freer chapter.
✨ And you deserve to feel vibrant through every stage.

Here’s to rewriting the menopause story — together. 💫

10/16/2025

💜 October is Menopause Awareness Month 💜

This month is all about education, empowerment, and ending the silence around menopause and midlife health.

Menopause is not a disease — it’s a natural transition that deserves understanding, support, and care. Yet too many women are left navigating symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, sleep changes, and mood swings without guidance or validation.

As a naturopathic doctor, my goal is to bring more knowledge, conversation, and compassion into this space — to help women understand their bodies, balance their hormones, and feel vibrant through every stage of midlife.

When we talk about menopause openly, we remove stigma and replace it with strength, wisdom, and connection. 🌿

Let’s make this October the start of a new menopause conversation — one rooted in empowerment, not embarrassment. 💫

💪 Strong is the new balanced — especially in menopause.

As estrogen levels decline, so does bone density, muscle mass, and metabolism — but strength training can change that story. ✨

Here’s why lifting weights matters more than ever during menopause:
🦴 Bone health: Strength training stimulates bone formation and helps prevent osteoporosis.
💪 Muscle mass: Builds lean tissue that supports posture, strength, and longevity.
🔥 Metabolism: More muscle = a faster metabolism and better blood sugar balance.
⚖️ Balance & stability: Keeps you steady, confident, and resilient — reducing fall risk as you age.

It’s not about lifting heavy; it’s about showing your body what it’s capable of.
Start where you are — your future self will thank you. 💜

Health Benefits of Avocado 🥑

This creamy superfood isn’t just delicious — it’s hormone, heart, and brain nourishment in every bite 💚

✨ Here’s why it shines in menopause:
• 🧠 Brain health: rich in monounsaturated fats + vitamin E to protect neurons and support focus + memory.
• 💛 Cholesterol balance: helps raise HDL (the “good” cholesterol) and lower LDL, supporting cardiovascular health during the postmenopausal years.
• 🌿 Hormone support: healthy fats are the foundation for hormone production and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Add avocado to your toast, salad, or smoothie — your heart, hormones, and brain will thank you!

✨ World Menopause Day is coming up this week. It reminds us that menopause isn’t the end of vitality — it’s the start of a new chapter.

Let’s shift the narrative from “putting up with it” to “thriving through it.”

💜Hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep struggles are common — but not “just part of getting older.” You deserve support, balance, and wellbeing.
I am here to listen, to educate, and to empower you through your journey and beyond ☺️

Your hormone + neurotransmitter connection 💜

Progesterone isn’t just about periods and pregnancy — it’s one of your body’s natural calming hormones.

Here’s how it works:
🧠 Progesterone stimulates receptors for GABA, a neurotransmitter in your brain that promotes relaxation, deeper sleep, and steadier moods.

When progesterone is balanced, GABA works like a gentle brake pedal for your nervous system — slowing racing thoughts, easing anxiety, and helping you drift into restorative sleep.

But in perimenopause and menopause, progesterone often dips. Without enough of it, GABA’s calming effects aren’t as strong… and you may notice:
• More anxiety or irritability
• Lighter, more disrupted sleep
• Feeling “tired but wired” at night

The good news? Lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted support can help you care for your progesterone levels and keep GABA doing its calming job.

💡 Start with:
• Prioritizing quality sleep
• Eating balanced meals (especially enough protein)
• Managing stress with daily movement, breathwork, or mindfulness
• Talking to your healthcare provider about options

Hormones and brain chemistry work together — when you support one, you support the other. 🌿

Today’s advice 💜🤍

07/24/2025

Perimenopause—also nicknamed “cougar puberty”—is officially trending.👑 This stage isn’t about aging silently—it’s a hormonal transition marked by mood swings, sleep issues, brain fog, decreased libido, and irregular periods. And yes, this has sparked a cultural moment.
Celebrities like Oprah and Halle Berry are openly talking about midlife changes, launching platforms to demystify the experience and empower women in this phase of life .

Yet despite massive visibility, less than 5% of eligible women use proven therapies like hormone treatment—often due to outdated fear or misinformation .

This moment of visibility matters—and here’s why:
• 🎯 You’re not alone: millions are navigating this midlife shift
• 💬 Real talk: it’s time to demand menopause-informed healthcare
• 🌿 Real care: balanced treatment goes beyond hormones; it includes lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, strength, mental health, and community

✨ You deserve personalized support—not myths. You deserve to thrive.

Swipe through to learn more, save for later, and tap ❤️ if you believe every woman deserves better menopause care. Let’s shift the narrative together.
