Ah yes. The wellness space has been taken over by crazy testing, lists of supplements, matching sets and an endless amount of to-dos.
Not in my office.
I am deeply interested in your hormones, your bloodwork, your nervous system, your metabolism and all the nerdy physiology that helps us understand what is going on.
But I’m equally interested in whether you have time to eat lunch.
Whether you can afford groceries, and whether you live in a food desert or not.
Whether you’re sleeping poorly because of your hormones — or because you’re carrying the mental load of an entire household and answering work emails from bed.
Whether adding six supplements, a complicated morning routine, food tracking and four workouts a week is actually going to improve your health… or just give you another job.
Because health doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Your work matters.
Your finances matter.
Your relationships matter.
Your caregiving responsibilities matter.
Your access to food, movement, rest and healthcare matters.
The amount of time and capacity you actually have matters.
So yes, sometimes we test.
Sometimes we prescribe.
Sometimes there are supplements.
And sometimes the most clinically appropriate thing I can do is look at the entire picture and say: we are not adding one more damn thing to your plate.
Good preventative medicine isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about figuring out which things actually matter — and building a plan that can survive your real life.
Wellness girlie.
But in a social-determinants-of-health, preventative-medicine, your life is part of the clinical picture kind of way.
Very inspired by Mallory DeMille 💛
