One thing patients tell me again and again:
“I finally felt taken seriously.”
When you’re worried about your health, waiting months, or years, for answers isn’t just frustrating. It’s stressful, scary, and unnecessary.

This patient was told the earliest endocrinology appointments available were Spring 2026.
Instead, they were seen in 3 days.

That’s the heart of direct care:
✔️ Access when it matters
✔️ Time to listen
✔️ Thoughtful, thorough care
✔️ No rushing. No guesswork.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust my patients place in me and my team.
If you value being heard, seen, and supported—direct care is a choice you won’t regret.

Thank you for your loyalty. It means everything. 💛

✨ First episode of 2026 is here. ✨
And we’re starting the year by cutting through hormone confusion with real science.

“Is adrenal fatigue real?”
“Do I need to balance my hormones?”
“Should everyone be wearing a CGM?”

These are some of the most common questions I hear — and also some of the most misunderstood.

In the first Hormones & Hope episode of the year, I sat down with Dr. Karl Nadolsky, board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist, to bring clarity back to hormones, metabolism, and modern wellness culture.

We break down:
• What endocrinologists actually treat
• Why “adrenal fatigue” isn’t a medical diagnosis
• When hormone testing helps — and when it hurts
• CGMs, cortisol panic, thyroid myths & weight trends
• Why obesity is a disease — not a lifestyle failure

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by online health advice, this episode will help you start 2026 grounded in evidence — not hype.

I didn’t just grow my practice this year.
I grew into the physician I always wanted to become.
One who lifts heavy things, weights AND conversations.
One who shows up strong, on stages AND at home.
One who honors science, AND the soul behind it.

Your doctor has 5 minutes. Your heart deserves more.
A zero calcium score doesn't mean you're safe. It only rules out calcified plaque, not the early stuff silently building.
Fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, poor sleep, hormones all over the place? That's not "just aging." That's your body screaming for answers.
Precision medicine gets you those answers. Real data. Not guessing.
This is why I started Hope Podcast—to share the knowledge that actually changes lives. Conversations with experts who go deeper than surface-level advice.

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.
