Perimenopause changes everything—or at least it ca Perimenopause changes everything—or at least it can feel that way.

The weight that won’t budge.
The energy crashes.
The brain fog.
The workouts that used to work... but suddenly don’t.

The good news? You’re not broken, and it’s not just about eating less and exercising more.

Join me for a free community talk where we’ll dive into the science of how hormones, muscle, and metabolism are connected—and why strength training is one of the most powerful tools available to support your body during perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll learn:
💪 Why muscle matters more than ever after 40
🔥 What’s actually happening to your metabolism
🧠 How strength training supports energy, mood, cognition, and hormone health
🥗 Nutrition strategies that work with your changing physiology
✅ Practical, evidence-based steps you can start using right away

Whether you’re currently navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply want to prepare for what’s ahead, this conversation is for you.

One of my favorite patients to see is the person w One of my favorite patients to see is the person who is thinking about brain health before anything feels wrong.

Recently, I’ve worked with several patients in their 40s and 50s who are cognitively sharp, thriving in their careers, and simply curious about their future risk.

Through a Cognoscopy, we sometimes uncover an ApoE4 variant or subtle lab changes that suggest it’s time to pay closer attention to brain health.

Is that news always fun to receive? No.

But from my perspective, this is exactly when I want to meet you.

Not when memory is changing.
Not when we’re trying to slow decline.

Now.

When there is still tremendous opportunity to influence the trajectory.

Your genes are not your destiny. They are information. And information gives us the chance to take action.
That’s why I get excited about prevention.

🧠 Curious about your own brain health risk factors? Drop a brain emoji in the comments and I’ll send you more information about Cognoscopy and cognitive decline prevention.
One of the unexpected joys of practicing herbal me One of the unexpected joys of practicing herbal medicine is meeting plants in person.

While visiting the beautiful herb garden at Maymont Mansion in Richmond, Virginia, we couldn’t help stopping to admire some familiar favorites. 🌿

Dr. Sarah found chamomile and marjoram, while Dr. Luciana was excited to spot fennel and lavender.

There’s something special about seeing these plants growing in the ground instead of just reading about them, prescribing them, or brewing them into tea. It reminds us that herbal medicine begins with a relationship to the plants themselves.

Do you have a favorite medicinal herb?

If you’ve noticed that the strategies that used to work for your body suddenly don’t anymore, you’re not imagining it. Hormonal changes during perimenopause can impact muscle mass, metabolism, energy, body composition, and even brain function.

Join me at Seacoast Kettlebell in Dover for a free community event where we’ll break down the science behind what’s happening and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

One of the most common abnormalities I see on nutr One of the most common abnormalities I see on nutrition testing is an unhealthy omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.

While both types of fats are important, most Americans are getting plenty of omega-6s and not nearly enough omega-3s. Over time, this imbalance can impact inflammation, cardiovascular health, and brain health.

The good news? This is often one of the easiest nutrition patterns to improve.

Try:
✓ Eating more fatty fish like salmon and sardines
✓ Adding walnuts, chia seeds, and flax seeds to your routine
✓ Reducing foods made with large amounts of seed oils when practical

No need for perfection—small changes can make a meaningful difference.

Have you ever had your omega-3 levels tested?
