In the real of women's health, our clinic prioritizes a holistic approach to address the complex array of symptoms experienced during perimenopause & menopause. We advocate for personalized care tailored to individual hormone profiles, emphasizing bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) as a natural alternative to synthetic hormones. By restoring hormonal balance, BHRT alleviates symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido, empowering women to navigate this transformative phase with resilience & vitality. Additionally, our commitment to regenerative medicine extends to innovative solutions like the O-shot, which utilizes PRP and/or stem cells to rejuvenate sexual wellness. By stimulating tissue regeneration, enhancing blood flow in the genital region, the O-sot offers remarkable improvements in sexual function, arousal, and overall satisfaction, providing women with transformative solutions to embrace aging with confidence & vitality.

In women's hormone dynamics, estrogen often takes the spotlight, closely accompanied by progesterone. These hormones, while having complex interactions, maintain balance: estrogen derives from progesterone and androgens in premenopausal women, shifting to adrenal-produced androgens in postmenopausal women. Striking a balance is crucial, as excess estrogen without sufficient progesterone can pose health risks. Progesterone helps counteract excessive estrogen.
Estrogen plays a vital role in female puberty and body fat distribution, but an imbalance can lead to unwanted fat accumulation.
Estrogen And Progesterone
Bio-Identical hormones mimic the body's natural hormones, a contrast to synthetic or animal-derived alternatives found in popular pharmaceuticals. These innovative hormones boast identical structures, ensuring a precise match to the body's own hormones.
Hormones wield significant power over the aging process, either orchestrating our biological journey or contributing to age-related ailments when disrupted.
What Are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Bio-identical hormones mirror the natural hormones produced by your body, replacing them when levels drop due to aging, illness, stress, medications, or surgery. These hormones are essential messengers, enabling the 60 trillion cells in your body to communicate effectively. They travel in your bloodstream, enter cells through receptors, and control growth, development, and both mental and physical function. To achieve the best results in hormone therapy, it's crucial that the chemical structure of the hormones perfectly matches the body's original structure.

More About the Orgasm Shot (O-shot)
The O-shot represents a prioneering solution, particularly beneficial for women navigating the transitions of perimenopause & menopause. By harnessing the regenerative potential of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) and/or stem cells, the O-shot offers a holistic approach to address intimate wellness concerrns during these transformative stages of a women's life. PRP, derived from the patient's own blood, is rich in growth-factors & cytokines, which stimulate tissue regeneration and repair. When injected into targeted areras of theh genital region, PRP promotes increased blood flow, collagen production, & nerve sensitivity, addressing common symptoms such as vaginal dryness, decreased sensitivity, & urinary incontinence. Additionally, the integration of stem cells further enhannces the regenerative process, facilitating tissue repair and rejuvenation at a cellular level.
what is functional medicine?
Functional medicine delves into the HOW and WHY of disease development, striving to reinstate well-being by tackling the UNDERLYING CAUSES unique to each individual.
I begin by examining your medical history and symptoms from a distinct perspective compared to traditional doctors. Employing the Functional Matrix, I organize your health narrative, enabling me to pinpoint crucial areas of dysfunction and imbalance that can be rectified. While conventional medicine tends to classify and label symptoms for diagnosis, aiming to match them with prescriptions or rehabilitative treatments, functional medicine takes a proactive approach by investigating upstream causes and alleviating inflammatory influences in the body. My objective is straightforward: enhance your quality of life, alleviate the burden of prescriptions, and impart knowledge on how to sustain optimal health.
HOW TO WORK WITH ME
Ready to embark on this journey? Fantastic! Success in any treatment plan hinges on motivation. Yet, the true enchantment lies in our collaboration. While my teaching and medical approach might not suit everyone, our partnership is key.
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED?
Functional medicine views a patient's health through the prism of inflammation. Together, we target and eliminate factors that ignite inflammation while restoring your physiological biochemistry for optimal functioning
While a functional holistic approach can benefit most diagnoses or conditions, I commonly address:
- Circadian sleep disruptions
- Chronic fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches and migraines
- PCOS and menstrual irregularities
- Peri-menopause
- Mold/mycotoxin issues
- Stress and cortisol imbalances
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Chronic constipation
- Generalized Anxiety
- Depression
- Insulin resistance
- Overweight/obesity
WHO SHOULD NOT WORK WITH ME
- Prioritizing self-care isn't a current focus
- Time management tends to be disorganized, resulting in missed appointments
- Electronic communication or computer usage isn't comfortable for you
- Immediate, consistent mental health support is required
- Expectations lean toward a solution preventing all future health issues
- Unwillingness to improve detrimental behaviors, habits, or thought patterns affecting overall health
- Considering functional medicine due to advice but not yet ready to alter lifestyle, diet, or habits
- Occupation constraints preventing monthly 30-minute doctor appointments for a minimum of three months
SPECIALTY TESTING OFFERED
With a background in both family practice and functional medicine, I can provide comprehensive explanations of the labs you've obtained from your primary care doctor.
Should your goals require specialized functional testing, I've partnered with amazing companies like: ZRT labs, Vibrant America, Great Plains, 3x4 Genetics, and Access Medical (to name a few). These partnerships facilitate Organic Amino Acid testing, Comprehensive Stool Evaluation, and salivary measurements of cortisol and hormones, among other tests. All these assessments are easily conducted at home, offering the convenience of FedEx and UPS shipping labels and containers.
HOW IMPORTANT ARE VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS?
I help to determine the precise vitamins or supplements necessary for your needs, eliminating unnecessary ones. While tailored guidance on food and lifestyle adjustments forms the core of treatment, some individuals may require temporary or long-term supplementation due to unique genetic limitations, digestion issues, or micronutrient deficiencies. In such cases, I grant access to prescription-grade supplements through my FullScript dispensary, having rigorously vetted companies with the highest purity and third-party quality certification.
Ordering through my recommended prescription service ensures discounted pricing from the MRSP. However, it's advisable to allocate approximately $200-300 for supplement costs during the initial months of recovery.
CAN YOU DESIGNATE ME AS YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER?
No.
Your healthcare is a team effort, and Functional Medicine plays a different position on this “team.” My mission is to educate you on your body’s signals and help you reach your goals as an ongoing consultant. Typical results are achieved from 3-6 months of dedicated collaboration.
I require that all patients retain a primary care provider to handle ordering of important screening tests (like mammograms, colonoscopies, etc). As a consultant, I do not provide urgent/same-day care that might require immediate assistance or hospitalization. If permitted, I’ll happily communicate our findings to your PCP to provide a seamless approach to your overall healthcare.
