Some days it feels like I’ve got it all together. Other days… not so much.

And the truth? There’s no such thing as perfect balance.

Here’s what I mean:

The other day, I was feeling pretty good. I’d gotten up early for a strength workout, did some patient consults and finished up charts, posted on social media and answered messages, even squeezed in a trip to the Farmer’s Market with the kids. By dinnertime, I thought: I’m on top of it today.

It’s meant to peak in the morning to help you wake up energized, then gradually fall throughout the day so you can wind down and sleep deeply at night.

But for many women, that rhythm is off.

"Everything looks fine” doesn't mean your results are optimal. If you're still feeling off, let's take a closer look at your labs together.

I think we all deserve to feel confident and energetic and beautiful at whatever stage of life we are in.  I love helping people achieve that by naturally improving their sleep, getting rid of hot flashes (they are NOT a given you have to deal with), showing them how to exercise and eat so they can get stronger and leaner, enhancing the appearance of their skin, or adding a little sparkle to their wardrobe.
