🔥 Big Menopause News 🔥
The FDA is finally updating its black box warning on hormone therapy — after 20+ years! 🙌

The old warning was slapped on all estrogen treatments (pills, patches, creams & vaginal estrogen) and scared millions away from relief they truly needed.
I strongly believe that if my mother was given the option to take hormones through perimenopause and beyond, she would not be blind, non verbal, non mobile and in a wheelchair with stage 7 Alzheimer’s. Fear stopped her and many others.

👉 New changes are expected soon — not just for vaginal estrogen, but for other forms too.
👉 Experts say the old warning was outdated and overly broad.

As a naturopathic doctor & HRT prescriber, I see how the right hormones, at the right time, can be life-changing. This is a huge step forward for women’s health 🌿✨

Thank you to the and other experts who were on the “FDA Expert Panel on Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women” on July 17, 2025 with the FDA Commissioner, working to make this change. 💪🏻Link in bio if you didn’t see this important meeting.👆🏻

In 1850, life expectancy was close to 35-40 years old. Because of chemically treated water, knowledge of germ theory, vaccinations, antibiotics and anti-virals we don’t die from infectious diseases like we did in the past and of course medications and surgery keeps us alive way longer. We aren’t meant to live so long but we do with the average life expectancy closer to 82 now.

As estrogen levels shift during perimenopause and menopause, many women notice changes in their skin — dryness, loss of firmness, fine lines, and slower healing. 🌿

There are both hormonal and non-hormonal ways to support healthy, radiant skin during this time:

💧 Foundational support
– A high-quality hyaluronic acid serum and moisturizer for hydration (I use “the ordinary company” brand)
– Topical antioxidants (like vitamin C or niacinamide) to protect collagen
– Daily sun protection ☀️(SP 50)
-Sufficient hydration (Sip water throughout the day rather than excess amounts all at once…)

🌸 Targeted options
For some women, we may also consider low-dose estriol face cream, a bioidentical form of estrogen applied topically to support collagen, elasticity, and skin thickness. This is a prescription-only option, used selectively under medical guidance.

The right approach depends on your skin, hormones, and comfort level. ✨
If this resonates, bring it up at your next appointment — we can explore what’s appropriate for you.

For fun I am sharing a 2023 recap with you so you can get to know me a little better as a human outside of my role as a doctor:

Reflecting on 2023:

My biggest life lessons:
-How to live through and heal from chronic pain and insomnia from chronic pain.
-Learning how to set boundaries.  
-Life is short so thrive today, not tomorrow. (My mom who has severe, stage 7 Alzheimer’s who has lost all mental faculties and physical independence is a constant reminder of this).
-Life always comes with chaos.  What matters is how we respond to the chaos that comes our way as individuals and making sure to have a strong foundation (aka follow a healthy lifestyle) to have the mental fortitude to manage the curve balls thrown our way.  

Biggest lifestyle changes I made this year:
-More weight training for better bone health and spine protection as a peri-menopausal woman.
-Moving through life consciously slower.
-Cutting flour and doubling my greens for carbs for less inflammation and better insulin sensitivity and to avoid abdominal weight gain through peri-menopause as a woman with PCOS.

Biggest health obstacle that I healed from this year:
-Severe Stenosis (blockage) of C5/C6, causing pinched nerve, chronic pain and vertigo…lasting 6+ months! I gained major empathy for those in chronic pain with this one!!

Proudest naturopathic doctor accomplishments:
-Getting certified as a North American Menopause (NAMS) Practitioner.  
-Realizing I have recorded 3 years of evidence based but fun and light health and wellness podcasts with my amazing podcast partner . If you haven’t already signed up to listen to our podcast; click linktree above to tune in and stay motivated in between visits.

Proudest doctor moments:
Seeing my patients…
-Lose and maintain significant weight loss…
-Reverse type two diabetes…
-Deliver babies after years of struggling to conceive…
-Get through severe peri-menopause symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes, tanked libido, weight gain) with hormone replacement therapy and lifestyle changes…
-Recognize the impact of healthy lifestyle changes…

Today marks the day that our 5’2” tall, 10 year old boy woke up with the same foot size as me. I have a woman’s foot size of 9!!!

I remember seeing these sweet feet 👣 for the first time a fetal ultrasound 11 years ago and then being able to hold these precious feet for the first time at his birth. Grateful every day for these little-big feet.
