Dr. Tracy Verrico

Dr. Tracy Verrico I am Dr. Tracy Verrico, board-certified OB-GYN, hormonal health expert, wealth educator and speaker. Opening March 1st, 2022

I empower women to live their healthiest and wealthiest life.

04/22/2026

Here’s what two decades of working with women has taught me: the medical system was not built with you in mind. Five-minute appointments. One-size-fits-all answers. And you — somewhere at the bottom of your own to-do list.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Your health is not a luxury. Your wealth is not a dream. And you are not too busy, too old, or too far gone to reclaim both. The only thing standing between you and your healthiest, wealthiest, wisest self — is the right information and the right partner. I’m here. Let’s go.

Most people regain ⅔ of their weight after stopping GLP-1s — here's what actually changes that outcome.

Used correctly, GLP-1s buy you time to build the habits that make the weight loss stick — high protein, high fiber, quality sleep, and strength training to boost your metabolism.

Without those foundations? No drug in the world fills that gap.

The goal isn't to be on it forever. The goal is to not need it forever.

The conversation around women's health is changing — and I'm proud to be part of it.

I'm beyond excited to share that I'll be speaking at AROC 2026 at the Hard Rock Atlantic City, May 13–16.

Here's where you'll find me:

+ Wednesday, May 13th | 4:30–5:30pm
Lecture: The Hormone Therapy Comeback: What the Evidence Actually Shows

For too long, fear and misinformation have kept women from accessing care that could genuinely transform their quality of life. I'm breaking down the real science — what the data tells us, what we got wrong, and why it's time to revisit the conversation on HRT with fresh eyes and clear evidence.

+ Wednesday, May 13th | 6:30–6:45pm
Panel Discussion on Menopause

I'll be joined by the incredible Assemblywoman Heather Simmons and the brilliant Dr. Betsy Greenleaf for a candid, powerful conversation about menopause — because women deserve more than a pat on the back and a prescription for antidepressants.

+ Thursday, May 14th | 10:30am–12:30pm
Woman2Woman Panel

We're talking HRT, alternatives for patients who can't use hormones, the realities of work-life balance for women in medicine, the gender inequalities baked into our healthcare system, and the business of medicine.

And don't miss Dr. Peter Marta on May 14th for his talk on Man2Man Health Topics: Myths and Misconceptions in Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

This is the kind of medicine I live for — honest, evidence-based, and centered on women. If you're attending AROC, come find me. If you're not registered yet, there's still time.

🗓 May 13–16, 2026 | Hard Rock Atlantic City

Thank you to New Jersey Association of Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons (NJAOPS) for creating this space for these conversations.

Skipping meals on a GLP-1 isn't discipline — it's a fast track to dizziness, fatigue, and muscle loss.

Here's what you actually need to know to feel your best on these medications:
✅ Eat small meals frequently throughout the day
✅ Stay on top of hydration — your body needs it more than ever
✅ Prioritize fiber and protein over ultra-processed foods
❌ Don't skip meals or drinks just because you're not hungry
❌ Avoid alcohol — it spikes blood sugar and worsens side effects
❌ Don't eat too fast or too much at once — nausea will hit

GLP-1s slow down gastric emptying, which means your body plays by completely different rules now. Being intentional is everything.

Still reflecting on an incredible evening at the Annual Zimele Gala a few weeks ago.

Zimele works to break the cycle of poverty in rural South Africa by equipping women with business skills, financial education, and leadership training.

Empowered women change families, communities, and generations.

So grateful to have been part of this night and so inspired by the work they continue to do.

There are a few foods I always recommend my patients try to limit during menopause — because they can make your symptoms worse.

The three big ones?
🍬 Sugar — whether it's from direct sugar or flour-based products, it increases your risk of weight gain, insulin resistance, and diabetes.
🍷 Alcohol — disrupts sleep and triggers more hot flashes and night sweats.
🌶️ Spicy foods — same thing, they'll make symptoms flare.

Small swaps can make a big difference in how you feel during this season of life.

Have you noticed any of these affecting your symptoms?

"No one told me perimenopause could start at 35."

If you're in your mid-thirties and something feels off — mood shifts, sleep changes, irregular cycles — this might be why.

Perimenopause doesn't wait until your 50s. It can start as early as your mid-30s, and by your 40s, progesterone decline is essentially guaranteed. The transition can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years depending on your ethnicity and health history.

The earlier you know, the more empowered you are.

Your gut and your hormones are more connected than you think.

During menopause, declining estrogen throws your microbiome off balance — making symptoms like bloating, brain fog, and mood swings even worse. Feed your good bacteria daily and give your body the support it needs to thrive through the transition.

Did you know this supplement could be a game-changer for your hormones?

Chasteberry supports progesterone function — aka nature's Xanax — helping with mood swings, irritability, sleep, PMS, painful breasts, and perimenopausal symptoms. It works by supporting your body's own hormonal signaling naturally, without hormone replacement.

Our Nutura Chasteberry uses the clinically validated dose of Vitex, enhanced with licorice root and white peony for full-cycle hormonal support.

Did you know progesterone is basically nature's Xanax?

This powerful hormone — made by your ovaries — does so much more than most people realize. It stabilizes your uterine lining, controls blood flow during your period, AND plays a huge role in your mood.

When progesterone is low, you might notice:
→ Mood swings
→ Irritability & anxiousness
→ Depressive symptoms
→ Low frustration tolerance
→ PMS that feels unbearable

When it's balanced? You feel calm, grounded, and like yourself again.

Your hormones are not the enemy — they're messengers. And when we learn to listen to them, everything changes.

🌍 Happy World Health Day

Today, on World Health Day, I want to pause and ask you something: When is the last time you truly invested in yourself?

Not the quick fix. Not the five-minute appointment where you walked out with more questions than answers. Not the moment you pushed your symptoms aside because everyone else needed you first.

I mean really invested — in understanding what your body is telling you, in learning what it needs to feel vital and strong, in treating your health not as a luxury, but as the foundation everything else is built on.

For over two decades, I've sat across from brilliant, accomplished, driven women who were silently suffering — exhausted, dismissed, and convinced that feeling less than their best was just "part of getting older." It's not. And you deserve better.

Here's what I know to be true: health is not just physical. Real, lasting well-being lives at the intersection of how your body feels, how secure you feel in your financial life, and how supported and connected you feel by the people around you. When one of these pillars crumbles, they all feel it.

So today, on a day the world pauses to celebrate health, I want to remind you of a few things:
✔ Your symptoms are real. They are not "just stress" or "just your age."
✔ Asking for answers is not being difficult — it's being your own best advocate.
✔ Thriving is not a reward you earn after you've taken care of everyone else. It's your right, right now.

Whether you're navigating the fog of perimenopause, trying to figure out why you feel like a stranger in your own body, or simply ready to stop surviving and start living — today is a good day to begin.

Your health is your sovereignty. Own it.

🧠❤️ Did you know Omega-3 Fatty Acids are one of the most powerful tools for your nutritional and metabolic health?

Omega-3s work as a natural anti-inflammatory, support triglyceride metabolism, and play a key role in both brain and heart health — with some studies even suggesting they may help reduce cardiovascular risk.

The problem? Not all Omega-3 supplements are created equal. The market is flooded with low-quality options that simply don't deliver. That's why I developed this line with quality at the absolute forefront — because you deserve a supplement you can actually trust.
