The most common thing women tell me:
“I thought something was wrong with me.” 💔
Low desire. Discomfort. Feeling disconnected from your body.
You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone 🤍

I sat down with Dr. Adanna Ikedilo, gynecologist and sexual wellness expert, to have the conversation I wish more women had access to.
No shame. No dismissal. Just science and honesty 🧠✨

We talk about what’s really behind low libido in midlife, how hormones, stress, and sleep all play a role 😴🧬, testosterone therapy, newer treatments like PRP and laser therapy, and why “normal” labs don’t always mean everything’s fine.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether this is just how it is now, it doesn’t have to be 🌱

If you’ve been feeling puffy, bloated, or noticing weight settling around your middle, this isn’t random — and it’s not a willpower issue.
For many people, this is one of the earliest signs of insulin resistance.
Your body isn’t “storing fat for no reason.” It’s responding to repeated glucose spikes it can no longer manage efficiently.

Here’s the part most people never hear 👇
Small, simple actions can make a real metabolic difference.

One of the most powerful?
👉 Move for just 10 minutes after meals.

Not a workout.
Not a gym session.
Just movement.

Your muscles act like a glucose vacuum, pulling sugar out of your bloodstream and lowering insulin demand. Over time, this can mean:
• fewer spikes
• less insulin
• less fat storage — especially around the belly

People often notice their abdomen feels less tight and more comfortable within weeks.

No extremes. No punishment. Just physiology working with you.
Read the slides, try it tonight, and notice how your body responds.

Real results don’t come from quick fixes.
They come from consistent, personalized care.

Matt has been part of our practice for about a year and a half, and during that time:
• His medications were reduced by 75%
• He lost 30 pounds
• He built healthier, sustainable routines
• And most importantly — he did it in a way that supports long-term health

This is what happens when we stop guessing and start connecting the dots between hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and mindset.

Grateful for patients who trust the process and share their journey. 💙
If you’re feeling stuck despite “doing all the right things,” you’re not alone — and there is a smarter way forward.

I was shocked to find out from Dr. Nishi Bhopal how many people are unintentionally working against their own sleep, especially with melatonin.
During our Hormones & Hope conversation, she explained something most people never hear:
👉 Melatonin isn’t a sleeping pill.
👉 More is not better.
👉 And taking it incorrectly can actually disrupt your sleep rhythm.

What surprised me most was learning that:
• Melatonin is a signal, not sedation
• Higher doses can worsen grogginess and mask deeper sleep issues
• Timing and daytime habits matter far more than quantity
• Sleep is built across the entire day, not just at bedtime

This completely reframes how we should think about “sleep supplements” — and why so many people still wake up exhausted despite doing “all the right things.”

These slides highlight just one key insight from our full conversation.

🚨 New episode just dropped. True or false: obesity is a chronic disease — and a low-calorie diet alone is not the answer.
(Answer: true.)
In this in-depth episode of Hormones & Hope, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Stombaugh, obesity medicine specialist, to cut through the noise around weight loss and GLP-1 medications.

We get real about:
• Why obesity is not a willpower issue
• How genetics, hormones, and inflammation actually drive weight
• Whether BMI still matters
• What GLP-1s really do — and what they don’t
• Safety concerns around compounded medications
• Why your relationship with food may matter more than any prescription

This conversation goes far beyond trends and headlines. It’s about treating obesity as the chronic, multifactorial disease it is, with clarity, compassion, and evidence.

In my Hormones & Hope conversation with Dr. Pam Peeke, we tackled the biggest lies women are still being told about metabolism:
• Why “lose 10 pounds fast” backfires
• Yes, metabolism really does slow with age (and what actually helps)
• Why sleep may matter more than diet for hormones & energy
• The protein mistake most women make
• Why movement habits in your 20s–30s shape your health decades later

This is science that ages well, not trends that fade.

So grateful for stories like this. 💙
This patient came to us newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, overwhelmed, unsure, and needing real guidance.
And today, he’s confidently managing his diabetes with the Tandem insulin pump, supported every step of the way.

What he shared meant the world to us:
✨ “Compassionate and knowledgeable team.”
✨ “Intentional follow-up.”
✨ “They got me started well on the insulin pump.”
✨ “I’ve been managing my diabetes well ever since.”

This is why I do what I do.
Personalized care. Real education. Long-term partnership.
Not rush-through visits. Not guesswork. Not doing it alone.

If you’re navigating Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and need clear guidance + a compassionate medical partner, I’m here for you.

If your hunger feels chaotic, it’s not a willpower problem.
It’s a sign your metabolism is asking for help.

Those sudden crashes, cravings, and “why am I hungry again?” moments are your glucose and insulin sending mixed signals to your brain. Once you understand that, everything changes.

This small, food-first shift is one of the simplest ways to calm that rollercoaster — and it works because it respects how your body actually processes energy.

Try it today. Notice how you feel.
And if this helped you, save it and share it with someone who’s tired of blaming themselves.

Looking Back at Our Community Screening Event ✨
It’s been a few weeks since our Community Screening Day, but rewatching these moments still fills me with so much gratitude.
Events like this remind me how powerful clarity + community can be in someone’s health journey.

One of my wonderful patients shared this reflection:
“I had my body composition done and Dr. Makhija explained all the parameters. Now I know I need to work more on muscle mass. I also received nutrition guidance — ways to add more protein, more fiber, and new things to try.”

This is exactly why I host screenings:
🧬 to educate
💡 to empower
🤝 and to give people real, practical steps they can start that same day.

So grateful for everyone who showed up with curiosity and an open heart.
Let’s keep moving forward — stronger, clearer, and more supported than ever. 🤍
