What’s in your grocery bag is a brain health decision.

I’m teaming up with to flood the feed for Brain Health Month, and this is the tip I bring up most. People who follow a Mediterranean diet most closely have a lower risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, with some studies showing up to 30% lower risk. It protects your blood vessels and lowers the inflammation that drives decline years before symptoms appear.

More leafy greens. More olive oil. More fish. Less processed food.

You’ll find me at the Bethesda Farmers Market most months. Medicine works better when it’s part of the neighborhood.

Something shifted in your 40s and nobody gave it a name.

The anxiety that came out of nowhere. The SSRI that stopped working. The brain fog that makes you feel like you are dropping the ball constantly. The therapist who keeps asking if something changed recently.

Something did change. Estrogen.

It is not just a reproductive hormone. It regulates serotonin, GABA, dopamine, and the temperature signals in your brain. When it starts fluctuating in perimenopause, the symptoms can look exactly like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. And most women spend years getting treated for those diagnoses without anyone asking about hormones.

Save this. Share it with someone who needs it.

If you are in the Bethesda area and looking for a more thoughtful approach to primary care, discovery calls are 15 minutes. No paperwork. BethesdaDoctor.com.

Comment "HORMONES' and I'll DM you the full symptom breakdown.

I am joining Dr. Zimmitti and Dr. Raja for this conversation on July 16, and I want to be direct about why.
Most of my patients in midlife have spent years being told their labs are normal while feeling anything but. Perimenopause rarely gets a full explanation in a standard 15-minute visit. This event exists to close that gap.
We will cover the physiology of perimenopause, what the evidence actually says about hormones, the mental health overlap that gets missed, and how to build a care team that handles all of it together.
If you are in or approaching midlife and have questions you have never been able to fully ask a doctor, this is worth an hour of your time. Registration is free and the recording will be available if you cannot join live.

Nobody told me this was Perimenopause... Let's fix that!

Join Dr. Zimmitti, Dr. Sirdar, and Dr. Raja for an honest conversation for women in and approaching midlife.

You woke up early on a Sunday and drove to the farmers market. You read the labels. You chose the tomatoes. You are already making deliberate choices about your health.

So did Dr. Nadia.

She shows up here every month because she believes in prevention as much as you do. Because the work of staying well does not start in a waiting room.

If you’re in the Bethesda area and looking for a doctor who actually shows up like this, a discovery call is where it starts. Fifteen minutes, free, no paperwork. BethesdaDoctor.com.

Nobody screened me for postpartum depression.

I was the physician.

My daughter tried to arrive at 24 weeks. My husband was a resident downtown. We handed off the baby like a shift change. I went back to nights in the ICU before I was ready and kept going.

I suffered for over a year before anyone asked the right questions.

Postpartum depression does not look the way you think it looks. It does not skip physicians. I share this because I wish someone had shared it during my intern year.

Screening takes 30 seconds. It matters.
