I’m excited to share that I’ve completed certification with 3X4 Genetics and will now be offering their advanced genetic testing platform inside my practice.

This test looks at how your genes influence key pathways related to:

• metabolism
• inflammation
• stress resilience
• detoxification
• nutrient utilization
• cardiometabolic risk

Instead of guessing which diet, supplements, or training approach might work for you…

we can start with your biological blueprint.

The result is a personalized strategy designed around how your body actually functions.

This is the future of precision health.

And I’m excited to start bringing it to my patients.

If you’re interested in learning whether this type of testing could help you optimize your health, comment GENES or send me a DM.

Full-fat dairy may reduce dementia risk.
Or increase cardiovascular risk.

Same week. Different headlines.

A large Swedish cohort study following adults for 25 years found that moderate intake of full-fat cheese and cream was associated with a lower risk of dementia.

At the same time, multiple large datasets continue to show that dietary patterns like DASH — rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins — are associated with better cognitive outcomes over time.

So how should patients interpret this?

First: both findings are observational. They show associations, not proof of cause and effect.

Second: dietary patterns matter more than individual foods.

Brain health is closely tied to cardiometabolic health — insulin sensitivity, vascular function, inflammation, sleep quality, and muscle mass all play significant roles.

Rather than focusing on a single food, the more useful question is:

Does this dietary pattern support long-term metabolic and vascular health?

That’s how we evaluate nutrition research in clinical practice.

Context matters. Individual risk factors matter. Hormonal status matters.

Headlines rarely tell the full story.
When patients bring in nutrition headlines like this, our job isn’t to react — it’s to interpret them through the lens of physiology and long-term risk.

Testosterone therapy is trending — and oversimplified.

At Aspect Wellness, we do not treat numbers in isolation. We evaluate the full cardiometabolic picture before prescribing.

For the right candidate, properly dosed and monitored testosterone replacement improves energy, body composition, libido, and mood.

For the wrong candidate, it can worsen sleep apnea, raise hematocrit, destabilize lipids, and mask underlying issues.

This is medicine. Not optimization theater.

If you live in FL, IA, MA, CO, AZ, AK — schedule a full evaluation.

As Aspect Wellness continues to grow, you’ll start seeing more of the incredible clinicians and coaches who care for our members every day—and a little less of me here.

This page is about the team, the care, and the clinical work we do together.

If you’re looking for my personal voice—the deeper conversations around performance, longevity, leadership, adventure, and what it really takes to build a strong body and life in midlife—you’ll find me over at RachelSmithDNP.

Same science.
Same standards.
A little more personal.

If you’ve been told “this is just menopause”…
You haven’t been given the full story.

At Aspect Wellness, we treat menopause as a physiologic transition—one that deserves thoughtful medical care, not dismissal or quick fixes.

Our approach includes:
• A full medical evaluation
• Baseline labs to understand your physiology
• Evidence-based prescriptions when appropriate
• Lifestyle and behavior support that actually fits real life
• Education so you understand what’s happening in your body—and why

This isn’t about “just getting through” menopause.
It’s about building a foundation to feel like yourself again—and often, even better.

If you’re tired of being told this is “just how it is,” there’s another option.

Your next chapter deserves expert care.
