Still glowing after an inspiring weekend at .

Honored to have had the opportunity to speak on three stages at this incredible gathering, I’m leaving deeply energized by the curiosity, connectedness and commitment this community brings to whole-person health and many aspects of wellness.

From meaningful conversations with thought leaders, to diving into the latest science behind hormones, stress, longevity, mitochondria, gut microbiome, mental health and resilience, thyroid health and so much more, I was reminded why this work matters so much. We thrive when we approach health with a critical, but open mind, curiosity, and seek the best evidence available.

One of the greatest highlights was connecting with friends and colleagues - both old and new—who continue to uplift, challenge, and inspire me and our evolving field. I also had the privilege of sharing tools I use with my patients every day, giving a solo talk on hypothyroidism, thyroid inflammation and longevity, as well as sharing the stage with colleagues for two incredible panels on menopause and metabolism and micro biome and mental health.

Thank you so much to all who I got to connect with and my dear friends who came to support me. Thank you to the incredible organizers and team for making this such a memorable experience. Here’s to continuing the conversation and supporting each other on the path to true well-being.

After 20 years of caution and fear-based messaging, I’m thrilled to see that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated removal of the black-box safety warnings from hormone-replacement therapies (HRT) prescribed for perimenopause and menopause.

This is a pivotal shift in women’s health: the science has evolved, we recognize nuance and the message must move with it. If you’re navigating menopausal transition including hot flashes, genitourinary symptoms associated with menopause or are at increased risk of osteoporosis, it’s time to look at all your options with fresh eyes and discuss options with your physician.

Note: the FDA is not removing the boxed warning for endometrial cancer for systemic estrogen-alone products.

Additionally, their labeled recommendation will be to start HRT within 10 years of menopause onset or before 60 years of age for systemic HRT/MHT.

Another note: removal of the warnings doesn’t mean that there is no risk of systemic therapies.

In our practice, we continue to engage our patients in shared decision making and individualize recommendations based on each person’s unique risks vs benefits. Note: risk vs benefit isn’t static - it’s a dynamic variable and should be reassessed periodically.

Just last month, we posted “Menopausal Hormone Therapy 101” on our blog, which outlines:
    •    How hormone therapy works, and who stands to benefit
    •    What modern prescribing practices look like (age, timing, delivery method)
    •    Lifestyle strategies that support your body alongside—or even instead of—HRT/MHT
    •    A roadmap for shared decision-making with your clinician

Comment “101” and we’ll DM a link to this blog post. I sincerely hope that this announcement leads to a more empowered and informed era for women as they navigate healthcare in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

Regular exercise is one of the best strategies for healthspan. In addition to sleep and nutrition, it’s a habit I prioritize to support my health-both physical and mental. I generally aim to include exercise I enjoy and I know my body needs for cardiovascular, metabolic, cognitive, bone and mental health benefits. Here are some snippets from a workout including a full body routine.

1) One arm lat pull on a bench with opposite leg extended.
2) Dumbbell flys with leg lifts.
3) Single arm bench press with opposite leg lift simultaneously.
4) Reverse lunge into a one leg lateral raise.
5) Reverse lunge into a donkey kick.
6) Weighted, single leg raise.
7) Finish with stretching!

🏋 Three sets of 10 to 15 reps each.

Consult your physician before beginning any new exercise program. Ideally, for anyone starting a new program, it’s helpful to have appropriate supervision to reduce the risk of injury and maximize efficacy of their efforts.

So grateful to you for your support, dynamic workouts, pushing me, and making our workouts fun 💪

Here’s my delicious Fall Apple Crisp! This recipe works great as a dessert, but also as a part of a nourishing breakfast. I used a combination of macintosh, gala red and honey crisp, because this is what was in season and available for picking, but I’m also a big fan of pink lady and fuji (more tart flavors!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Note: You may use allulose instead of monk fruit and erythritol, but I have not yet tried it in this recipe; allulose and erythritol are about 70% as sweet as sugar, and monk fruit is 150-200 sweeter than sugar, so you may want to adjust the amount if only using allulose as a sweetener.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to compete at in Stamford. Grateful that I get to do this and always inspired by the people I see on the dance floor- pros and amateurs. This experience always reminds me of a relationship with our inner critic. We are wired to pay attention to (and sometimes ruminate on) our flaws and imperfections. While on the one hand, this self-awareness can be constructive and help us improve, it can also be debilitating, harsh and can limit us. In between my dances if I’m not practicing, I’m an audience member. I watch the couples on the dance floor. Those that shine dance with joy, purpose and creativity. They seem in complete alignment. This is what is truly inspiring. We can be aware of all of the flaws and strive to improve in whatever it is that we’re doing (professionally, personally, relationally). The flaws don’t have to drive our decision making or diminish our confidence. Not letting the beliefs about our flaws limit us is liberating (and is hard work for most of us) and dance is one form of expression of this. It’s part practicing acceptance, part mindfulness, part music, part skill, and requires strengthening our mind body connection. It’s never too late in life to discover this. Anyone who has ever wanted to dance, I invite you to try!

Thank you so much to my coaches Dima and Sarina () for their guidance and hours of teaching and practice to get me to first places in closed gold.

Thank you everyone who came to show their support - it means so much to me ♥️✨💃🏻

Nutritional, supplemental and pharmaceutical interventions can have a significant impact on the symptoms associated with PCOS. Assessing blood work and discussing symptoms with your doctor enables more personalized recommendations. Below are some herbs and spices that we may discuss with our patients as part of their therapeutic strategy (comment “PCOS” for a link to the full blog post). We don’t recommend starting any supplements without talking to your doctor. Safety and dosing can be personalized to one’s specific needs and appropriately monitored.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chaste Tree Berry (also known as Vitex): Chaste tree berry can help with menstrual regularity, PMS symptoms, painful periods, breast pain, and infertility which are all often associated with PCOS. Chaste tree may not be optimal for all women with PCOS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Green Tea: Green tea in the form of loose leaf or matcha contains l-theanine which has been shown to improve mood, cognition and reduce stress and anxiety, all of which are common in women with PCOS. There is evidence that the extract can help reduce testosterone levels, however liver injury is possible, and liver enzymes should be monitored.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Licorice: In some individuals, licorice can be an effective intervention for reducing excess testosterone as it blocks the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cinnamon: Cinnamon can help reduce blood glucose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curcumin: Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the compound curcumin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Berberine: Berberine is commonly used in individuals who struggle with hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spearmint Tea: Spearmint has anti-androgenic effects and therefore helps to lower testosterone.

PCOS on average takes one year to properly diagnose and can be costly, time intensive and often involves working with multiple medical providers to get a formal diagnosis. Women with this condition often present differently and have a wide variety of symptoms which also adds a layer to the complexity to the diagnosis of PCOS. Diagnosis involves both blood testing as well as pelvic ultrasound. Currently, diagnosis is most often based on the modified 2003 Rotterdam criteria. To be formally diagnosed with PCOS, an individual needs to present with at least two of the three categories below:

-Hyperandrogenism: it can be biochemical (elevated total testosterone or free testosterone; elevated DHEA-S and androstenedione can be considered) or based on clinical features such as hirsutism (excess facial or body hair) or acne

-Polycystic ovaries (20 or more follicles per o***y and an ovarian volume of 10 cm3 or greater). Elevated AMH levels can be used as an alternative to ultrasound criteria for PCOS diagnosis.

-Oligo-anovulation (menstrual cycles greater than 35 days apart of having fewer than 8 menstrual cycles in a year)

The Rotterdam criteria has identified four specific types of PCOS. While this makes diagnosis more complex, it also enables more personalized treatment and care.
The four phenotypes of PCOS include:

Frank/Classic PCOS: Anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries

Non-Polycystic O***y: Anovulation, hyperandrogenism, normal ovaries

Ovulatory PCOS: Normal menstrual cycles, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries

Normoandrogenic PCOS: Anovulation, normal androgens, polycystic ovaries

In our clinic, we provide the diagnostic workup for PCOS and we work with individuals with PCOS to provide an integrative treatment approach incorporating personalized therapeutic approaches to manage your individual symptoms. There is a link to book a complimentary discovery call in our bio!
