When Medicine is More Art than Science

Last Friday, I walked through the kitchen at home while my husband Nick was preparing dinner; he was making some concoction I’ve never seen before. Nick wasn’t following a recipe and there wasn’t a measuring cup to be seen. A pinch of salt here, a dash of spice there—everything was done by instinct, experience, and […]

Boost T-Levels, Lose Fat: The Power of Testosterone

John had always been active. In his 30s, he could hit the gym a few times a week, eat reasonably well, and maintain his weight without too much effort. (Guys have it easier, I know.) But by the time he hit 45, things had changed. He was gaining weight, even though his habits hadn’t changed. […]

Hormone Replacement Therapy 101: What You Need to Know

When Jennifer turned 43, she started feeling… off. She wasn’t sick, exactly, but she was constantly exhausted, had trouble concentrating, and no matter what she did, she kept gaining weight. One day, she found herself standing in the kitchen, staring into the fridge for five full minutes, completely forgetting what she had opened it for. […]

What Hunger Cravings Are Really Trying to Tell You

Last week, my husband was convinced he needed In-n-Out– specifically two double-doubles and a 7-up. How he eats what he eats is still a medical mystery to me, but that wasn’t what got my attention. “I think my body knows I need a cheeseburger,” he said with complete sincerity. “I might have a deficiency.” I […]

The Truth About Setbacks: Why Weight Fluctuations Are Totally Normal

You finally do it—you tackle the giant mountain of laundry that’s been haunting your bedroom floor for a week. Every sock, every shirt, every last towel is washed, dried, folded, and put away. Victory! But then, the next morning, you glance over—and somehow, there’s already more laundry. Wait… didn’t you just finish this? Regaining weight […]

I Can Make Your Business My Business

In 2005, Apple’s CEO at the time, Steve Jobs, called up Nike’s CEO Bill Perez and said, “You make great shoes. But some of them are kind of ugly.” Instead of taking offense, Nike’s CEO laughed and responded, “You make great gadgets, but some of them aren’t very wearable.” That honest conversation led to the […]

Why Experts Should Never Stop Learning

There I was, completely ignoring my half-full coffee. My brain was racing to keep up with a lecturer while I took furious notes about testosterone. I was sitting in a seminar (ok, technically watching on Zoom), more than a little glad the speaker wouldn’t be able to call on me for a question. It was […]

The Secret to Weight Loss: Don’t Keep it a Secret!

A few months ago, I had a new client—we’ll call her Lisa—who came to me with a very specific request. She spoke in a hushed tone, as if we were discussing a state secrets. Nuclear codes, perhaps. Very Mission: Impossible. “I want to lose weight,” she said, “but I don’t want anyone to know.” I […]

Intermittent Fasting Made Simple: Choose the Right Plan for Your Goals

Aside from clinical weight loss options (semaglutide, tirzepatide, etc.), I also talk with people every day about other dietary or lifestyle options. One choice that keeps coming up is intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting (IF) has surged in popularity as a flexible approach to weight management and improved health. But what exactly is it? Simply put, […]

Journal Your Weight Loss Journey

Writing online still doesn’t come natural to me, but I’ve kept a personal journal (or diary, I suppose) for years. Over the last couple weeks, I’ve come back to the idea of setting and following through with health goals, so it seemed natural this week to discuss one of my own personal practices: journaling! Importantly, […]
