Sleep isn’t just about how many hours you log. It’s about the quality of rest your body gets to repair, regulate, and reset.

Amanda is at the A4M Functional Medicine Conference this week exploring the latest innovations in sleep support—and we’re excited to bring that knowledge home to our patients.

Whether you’re struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel rested in the morning, let’s figure out what’s really going on.

Taking 15 random supplements a day isn't a wellness flex.

It's usually a sign that no one’s gotten to the root of what’s actually going on (and that you're making some expensive p*e).

Supplements can be powerful tools to support your path to optimal wellness, but only when they’re personalized to you and make sense for your health history and goals.

So many of our patients come in confused about estrogen — and honestly, we understand why. The headlines over the years haven’t always matched the science.

The FDA just removed the black box warning on estrogen, and Amanda filmed a detailed breakdown of what that means for your health, safety, and longevity.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, this is worth watching.

The FDA has officially removed the black box warning from estrogen therapy — a major milestone in women’s health. But what does this change actually mean for...

You don’t need 50 supplements. You need the right ones for your individual health history, medications, and goals.
When a new patient comes to see me, we look at your blood work, your food, your energy levels—your story.
From there, we build a care plan that fits.
Because personalized health means no more guesswork.

Just because your labs are “normal” doesn’t mean you’re functioning at your best.
We focus on optimizing your health—using labs as part of the picture, not the whole story. Who do you wish you could share this with?

Hormone replacement isn’t scary... misinformation is.
Here’s why so many women have been led to believe hormone replacement therapy is scary.

For my full take on the recent change in FDA guidelines relating to hormone replacement, send me a message!

‘Normal for your age’ doesn’t mean you have to settle.

We hear from so many patients who’ve been told that fatigue, weight gain, low libido, or brain fog are just a part of getting older. But it’s often a sign that your hormones are not at their optimal levels—even if labs say they’re ‘within range.’

We believe in supporting hormone health with a whole-person, root-cause approach. That means individualized testing, realistic goals, and sustainable support. No quick fixes. No one-size-fits-all protocols.

And definitely no brushing off symptoms just because they’re ‘common.’

You know your body better than anyone—and we’re here to help you feel good in it again.
