✨ I’m back in the with Julie! Join me this Tuesday at 12 PM PT for our monthly Hormones & More series — live on Instagram 💜

This time we’re getting real about menopause supplements — what actually works, what’s not worth your money, and how to choose wisely. From melatonin for better sleep to ashwagandha, maca, protein, and more… we’ll break it all down with that mix of science + simplicity you know I love.

Bring your lunch, your questions, and let’s make sense of midlife wellness together. 🩷

Menopause isn’t the end of vitality — it’s the evolution of your power. 💫
This World Menopause Day, I want you to see this season of change for what it truly is — an invitation to understand your body through data, connection, and design.

Here’s what I want every woman to know:
1️⃣ Know your numbers. Go beyond “normal” labs — track your biomarkers, CGMs, and wearables that actually tell the story of your metabolism, stress, and hormones. (Grab my free WTF — What to Follow Guide 🔗 in bio!)

2️⃣ Notice the trends. I’m seeing more women enter perimenopause earlier, with increased stress and metabolic slowdowns. These aren’t random symptoms — they’re signals your body wants you to decode.

3️⃣ Focus on the system, not the symptom.
My precision approach is built on the TARGET CORE 7™ — the seven foundations every woman needs to thrive:
✨ Mind-Body Connection
✨ Sleep Optimization
✨ The Second Brain (Gut & Microbiome)
✨ Necessary Nutrients
✨ Stress Download
✨ Mitochondria Mojo
✨ KPI / Trends / Wearables

When we test, design, and personalize, you get your energy, clarity, and confidence back — no one-size-fits-all plans here.

💬 Advocacy matters.
I’m on a mission to make women heard, valued, and understood in medicine and in menopause. It’s time we lead with science, data, and compassion — not silence.

🎉 Celebrate World Menopause Day with me!
The first 10 women who join my Concierge Integrative Program will receive a complimentary box of MenoWell Menopause Bars — because fueling your body well fuels your future.

💝 This one is close to my heart.

As a physician, I’ve spent years working in spaces where women’s health — especially midlife health — is often overlooked or minimized. I know what it’s like to move through male-dominated rooms, balancing the demands of medicine, leadership, motherhood, and life, while silently carrying the weight of perimenopause changes.

Too many women are asked to push through, to survive rather than thrive — and the cost is steep.

That’s why I’m honored to join Dr. Mache Seibel for this virtual conversation with LIVE Q&A:

“From Surviving to Thriving: Navigating Perimenopause in the Workplace”
📅 Thursday, September 18th
⏰ 12 PM EST

We’ll talk about the real impact perimenopause has on professional women, how to manage symptoms without sacrificing confidence, and what it means to advocate for yourself in both your workplace and your life.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your health, your career, and your family — this conversation is for you.

Let’s stop surviving in silence and start thriving — together. 💫

Thinking about starting HRT after menopause? You’re not alone.

You may have been told:
   •   “It’s too late.”
   •   “The risks are too high.”
   •   “Just deal with the symptoms.”

But the truth?
There is a safe and personalized path forward—even after age 60 or 10+ years postmenopause.

Join me today for a live conversation where we’ll answer:
   •   Is HRT still safe after menopause?
   •   What are the real risks—and what’s outdated fear?
   •   How do you know if it’s right for you?
   •   What labs and lifestyle changes should come first?

It’s time to trade fear for facts, and symptoms for solutions.
Because hormone therapy isn’t about turning back time—it’s about getting your life back.

LIVE today at 12 PM PT | 3 PM ET
Hosted by menowell

Taking Control of Estrogen

Estrogen can play a commanding role in hormone malfunction, especially if it becomes more dominant. This is called “estrogen dominance”. Wow. Rocket science, right?

In our 40’s and going into menopause, women often experience the symptoms of too much estrogen, and then find themselves going through alternating periods of too little. It’s a roller coaster ride with estrogen at the wheel.

What does this look like? Weight gain especially around the time of cycles, fatigue, heavier and longer periods, irritability, bloating, trouble sleeping, and just feeling overwhelmed.

Ultimately, it’s important to understand estrogen imbalance, which often results in inflammation — our body’s way of protecting itself. Inflammation is a disturbance in the body’s normal capacity to function that is similar to being ablaze. (Yes, that is a dictionary definition).
