The last month has been a whirlwind!
I’ve spent years talking about perimenopause and in just a couple of weeks, I had the opportunity to bring this conversation to multiple TV segments nationwide with the launch of BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey.
Seeing this conversation reach so many women over the past few weeks has been incredibly meaningful.
@balancedocuseries is a four-part documentary series sharing real stories, real experiences, and expert perspectives created to help women feel seen, understood, and less alone.
Directed by monk-filmmakers @siddhalishree and @sadhvianubhuti, the series opens space for honest conversation around perimenopause a season of life that affects every woman, but is rarely talked about openly.
It’s only been live for a week and it’s already making huge waves in women’s health.
As an associate producer and featured expert in the series, I’m so proud of this work and can’t recommend it enough.
Comment BALANCE to watch!
And a huge thank you to azfamily @fox13now @foxdc @bloom_tv and @daytime for having me on!!
GLP-1s like Tirzepatide aren’t just “weight loss drugs.”
They protect your heart, reduce inflammation, reverse fatty liver, rewire your brain’s cravings, and even got FDA-approved for sleep apnea. The science is wild.
But let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
The downsides? Muscle loss and a slower metabolism. And yeah — if you’re just injecting and sitting on the couch eating 1,200 calories a day, that WILL happen.
Here’s how we combat that with our patients:
✅ Microdosing — You don’t always need the max dose. A lower, strategic dose gives you the metabolic benefits without torching your lean mass.
✅ 1 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight — This is non-negotiable. Protein is the building block that preserves (and builds) muscle while you’re losing fat.
✅ Weight training — The single best signal you can send your body to KEEP your muscle. Lift heavy. Train hard. Your body will prioritize holding onto that tissue.
Do all three, and you’re not just losing weight — you’re recomposing your entire body while getting the anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective benefits of GLP-1s.
Want access to GLP-1s like Tirzepatide, testosterone, sexual enhancement meds, or longevity peptides? Our brand new telemedicine platform makes it hassle-free — prescribed by a licensed physician and shipped discreetly to your door. Head to glownaturalwellness.com to learn more
Pasta didn’t ruin your metabolism.
The diet industry did.
Somewhere along the way, women were taught to fear bread, pasta, rice, potatoes… basically anything that actually fuels the body. And now we have an entire generation of exhausted, stressed-out women under-eating carbs while wondering why they’re tired, inflamed, moody, losing muscle, and craving sugar at 9 PM.
Your body is not designed to survive on lettuce and cortisol.
Carbohydrates are not the enemy. In fact, the right carbs can SUPPORT hormone health, thyroid function, muscle recovery, sleep, mood, brain function, and athletic performance. Especially for active women and women in perimenopause and menopause.
Chronically restricting carbs can increase cortisol, tank progesterone, impair thyroid conversion, disrupt sleep, and make your workouts feel like punishment instead of power.
And let’s be honest…
A plate of pasta didn’t create the metabolic crisis we’re seeing today.
Ultra-processed food. Sedentary lifestyles. Endocrine disruptors. Chronic stress. Sleep deprivation. Constant dieting. THAT’S the problem.
Eat the pasta.
Lift the weights.
Build the muscle.
Support your hormones.
Stop apologizing for nourishing your body.
Midlife women do not need to become smaller.
They need to become stronger.
Love living at the beach.Every night nature puts on the most show.Admire the beauty all around you.
As women we spend so much time and money on our facial skin care, procedures, and devices. But we ignore the girl downstairs.And then when shit goes wrong, we wonder why.Vaginal health is so much more than sexual health.
Even with everything we know about perimenopause and menopause, doctors are still throwing prescription drug drugs at women without even testing their hormones are asking them about their hormones symptoms. Things are starting to get better, but they’re still not there.If you’ve been ignored or your Hormone symptoms have been swept under the rug.If things like weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, mood issues, and chronic pain are not being addressed properly or if you suspect your hormones need help.DME and I will help you figure it out and point you in the right direction.
GLP-1 peptides - love them or hate them. The problem with these medication’s is not with the medication itself. It’s with how people are using them.When combined with a high protein, diet and strength training, these can be very effective tools for metabolic health and longevity - especially for midlife women.
A 2025 study confirms exactly that — GLP-1s are the most effective tool for tackling menopause-related weight gain. And now you can access them through GLOW Natural Wellness telemedicine. Medically supervised. FDA-approved medications. Made in the US. This week only: 15% off GLP-1s + all telemed treatments to celebrate our launch
