Finally — the truth is out

Some of us have known this for years. We’ve studied, trained, and completed fellowships to truly understand hormones, metabolism, and the science of functional medicine.

Now that this information is finally gaining attention, many doctors are suddenly saying they “do hormones” — but few have been formally trained to do so.

👉 When choosing your provider, look for IFM (Institute for Functional Medicine) or A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine) credentials. These practitioners have gone the extra mile — staying current with research, root-cause medicine, and the latest innovations in women’s health.

Mainstream healthcare is far behind. Those of us once called “quacks” by traditional medicine are now seeing the evidence catch up. It’s time for all women’s healthcare providers to seek additional education and training to serve patients better.

Knowledge is power — and your health deserves a provider who truly understands it.

Big News!
I am honored to share that I have been selected to speak nationally at A4M, (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine) one of the most respected organizations in functional and regenerative medicine.

I will be presenting on the Oral Systemic Connection. I will discuss how the health of your mouth impacts your entire body, from cardiovascular and metabolic disease to cognition and longevity.

This topic is deeply personal and professionally meaningful to me. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how inflammation and infection in the mouth can ripple through every system of the body. It is time this conversation reached the national stage.

A4M brings together the world’s leading experts in longevity, hormones, and preventive medicine, and I am truly grateful to represent this next frontier in whole body health.

If you have ever been curious about how oral health influences systemic inflammation, chronic fatigue, or even aging itself, stay tuned, I will be sharing key insights from my presentation soon.

🌸 Let’s Set the Record Straight on Hormones & Breast Cancer 🌸
Have you heard that hormones “cause breast cancer”? Don’t be scared off by outdated info. That belief came from the famous Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study published in 2002... but here’s what you might not know:
The WHI study used synthetic hormones — specifically Premarin and Provera — not the bioidentical, plant-based hormones we use in functional and regenerative medicine today.
🔍 Here’s why the WHI study was flawed:
❌ Participants were on average 63 years old and already had pre-existing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and cancer.
❌ The study lumped estrogen and progestin therapy together, making it hard to isolate individual risks.
Later analyses showed that estrogen-alone therapy (in women without a uterus) was associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer and mortality!
🧠 More recent research — including from the North American Menopause Society and The New England Journal of Medicine — confirms: ✅ Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) does not carry the same risk profile. ✅ Starting HRT earlier in the menopausal transition offers protective effects for the brain, bones, heart, and mood. ✅ Breast cancer risk is complex and influenced by many factors (genetics, inflammation, insulin, lifestyle) not just hormones.
🌿 At Elevate Health, we use bioidentical, plant-derived hormones customized to your body’s needs — not outdated synthetics.
It’s time to rewrite the narrative. Hormones aren’t the enemy — they’re part of healing.
