If I could only test three hormones in every woman over 35?

Estrogen. Thyroid. Insulin.

Why? Because these three give you the clearest insight into what’s really going on.

• Estrogen (specifically estradiol) is the hormone of youth.
• Thyroid is underestimated and often missed, yet it drives energy, mood, metabolism.
• Insulin tells you how your body handles blood sugar — and stable blood sugar is the key to long-term health.

Forget chasing perfect numbers on a lab report. It’s about how you feel, how your body responds, and what those patterns are telling us.

You’re not tired. You’re dehydrated.

Most of my patients think they need more sleep or more supplements.
But the first thing I check is hydration.

Chronic dehydration can look like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or headaches.
Your liver needs water to detox.
Your brain needs it to think clearly.
Your whole body runs on it.

Start every morning with a full glass of water before anything else.
It’s the simplest fix most people skip.

Perimenopause is not early menopause.
It’s not “just hormones.” It’s your own phase. Your own symptoms. Your own solutions.

Brain fog. Poor sleep. Anxiety. Fatigue. You start to feel like a different version of yourself — and no one tells you why.

Perimenopause is not about your period.
It’s about how you feel. And it usually starts with your hormones.

If you’re waking up foggy, exhausted, and out of sync, it’s time to pay attention.

Save this post so you’re not left guessing.

For 23 years, women were misled.
Now the FDA is finally removing the black box warning on hormone therapy — and it’s about time.

On American Agenda, I broke down what this means and why it matters. The original study that scared everyone off hormones was flawed from the start. Women paid the price with their health.

Hormones don’t cause cancer. They help prevent it.
They protect your heart. Your brain. Your bones. And your quality of life.

Stop letting fear lead your healthcare decisions.
Your doctor doesn’t live in your body — you do.
Ask questions. Trust your instincts. Take back control.

📕 Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You is your playbook.
Watch the full clip and share it with someone who needs to hear the truth.

Twenty-three years of bad science.
One flawed study.
Millions of women told to suffer in silence.

The truth is finally catching up, but the damage is still real.

Hormones don’t cause cancer.
They protect your brain. They protect your bones. They protect your heart.
But most doctors still don’t know that because med schools haven’t changed.

We’re done accepting fear as care.
If your doctor doesn’t stay current, walk out.
If they still use scare tactics, find one who sees you.

Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You is not just a book. It’s the manual every woman should have had 20 years ago.

Right after this morning, I headed straight to New Canaan Library to speak about Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You and why this moment matters.

The FDA finally removed the black box warning on hormone therapy. That flawed study from 2002 never should have shaped women’s care for two decades.

We’re done letting fear and bad science dictate our health.

Today is about truth, responsibility, and taking back control.
Let’s make sure something like the Women’s Health Initiative never defines women’s health again.

It took 23 years to undo the damage.

This morning on , I spoke about the FDA’s long-overdue decision to remove the black box warning on hormone therapy and what that means for women.

This therapy prevents Alzheimer’s. It lowers cancer risk. It protects your bones and your heart. And it helps women stay healthy, longer.

The original 2002 study was flawed. Millions of women suffered because of it. Now the truth is catching up but only if we keep pushing.

Train more doctors. Share the right information. And stop reacting to a broken system with fear.

The FDA finally removed the black box warning on hormone therapy for menopause.

For years, women were told hormones were dangerous. That fear kept millions from getting the care they needed. The truth is, balanced hormones are safe and life-changing when prescribed correctly.

This is what I’ve been saying for decades. Women deserve facts, not fear.

Think your bloating is from eating too much salad?
Think again.

On Habits and Hustle with , we got into the real reason so many women feel bloated — and yes, it’s hormonal.

Too much fiber, not enough enzymes, underlying gut issues, or imbalanced hormones... it all adds up.
Try a digestive enzyme. Look at your probiotic. But don’t guess forever.

Pay attention to what your body is telling you — bloating is not just about food.

You don’t fix what you don’t understand.
And for most people, the missing link is hormones.

They control how you feel, how you sleep, and how you age.
When they fall out of rhythm, your entire system loses balance.

You don’t need more viral health trends.
You need alignment between hormones, nutrition, and daily habits.

That’s the work I do.
Personalized. Preventive. Long-term.

The world has changed and the way we approach healthcare needs to change with it.

I sat down with to talk about the re-release of Don’t Let Your Doctor Kill You, why the timing couldn’t be more right, and how patients today are finally asking better questions.

Social media has opened the floodgates of information. Some of it helps, some of it doesn’t. But one thing is clear: people are done blindly following the system.

This book gives you the tools to take your power back and endorsements from voices like Kelly Ripa are helping it land where it belongs: in the hands of patients who are ready to advocate for themselves.

If you're looking for the playbook on how to take control of your care, this is it.
