✨ I’m back from my Florida business trip to what feels like an early Christmas gift for women’s health everywhere 🎁

The FDA has officially removed the black box warning from hormone therapy for menopause — a long overdue step after decades of misinterpretations, data mining, and fear-based messaging that led to one of the most egregious blunders in women’s health history.

This reversal is validating, vindicating, and empowering — not only for the science that has always supported the safety and necessity of hormone therapy when properly managed, but for the millions of women whose quality of life was impacted by outdated narratives.

The FDA is finally catching up to what medical science has long known: hormone therapy, when personalized and monitored, is both safe and profoundly beneficial for women navigating menopause and beyond.

This is more than a policy shift — it’s a win for women, for evidence-based medicine, and for the clinicians who have tirelessly advocated for truth and transparency in women’s health.

Here’s to progress, to science, and to women finally being heard. 💪💖

✨ We’re catching our breath after a jam-packed stretch of incredible events — and our hearts are full! 💫

We kicked off our Women’s Wellness Kitchen Series with an intimate gathering centered on nutrition and hormone health, while being nourished by the most delightful creations from Chef Beth 🍓🥑. The evening was filled with meaningful conversation, laughter, and a shared passion for feeling our best from the inside out.

Next, we joined an inspiring and energetic crowd at The Ladies Power Lunch at the Vineyards in Naples 🌿 — an event that brought together women from every corner of health, wellness, and beauty, all united by a shared mission to uplift, connect, and grow.

We are incredibly grateful for the new connections, friendships, and opportunities that continue to bloom from these experiences. The energy, inspiration, and vision for what’s ahead feel absolutely electric ⚡ — and we’re excited for the beautiful collaborations yet to come.

A heartfelt thank-you to our generous sponsors — Biogenetix, Microbiome Labs, Biotics Research, and LMNT — for helping us make these events possible and for supporting women’s wellness in such meaningful ways. 💚

🌸 Perimenopause vs. Menopause — Understanding the Transition 🌸

Perimenopause is the journey leading up to menopause — your hormones begin to fluctuate, and your body starts asking for more care and balance. Menopause is the destination — when your ovaries retire, and hormone production naturally declines.

But here’s the truth: struggle is optional. When we work with our bodies instead of against them, this transition can be one of renewal and empowerment, not depletion.

I recently had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Hannah Community Center, where nearly 30 amazing women joined me to talk about hormone health. One woman, age 65, shared that her physician took her off hormone therapy five years ago — and she still remembers how wonderful she felt before stopping it. Since then, she’s faced aches, pains, brain fog, and sleepless nights. Her story is far too common — and far too preventable.

✨ Properly balanced hormones can restore vitality, clear your mind, lift your mood, and bring joy back into your daily life.

Let’s make this stage of life vibrant again — not something to just “get through.” 💕

🌸 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🌸

Awareness isn’t just about pink ribbons — it’s about being proactive. 💕

Protect your breast health by making mindful choices every day:
✨ Avoid exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
✨ Balance your hormones — they’re your body’s best allies.
✨ Do your monthly breast exams.
✨ Understand your hormone metabolism with DUTCH testing.
✨ Choose breast thermography for safe, gentle imaging — no radiation, no compression.

Being proactive means staying healthy — because prevention is the most powerful form of care. 💗
