A few years ago, Dr. Dan Purser and I connected over one of my favorite clinical rabbit holes: progesterone.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of learning from him as a fellow curious clinician—especially around genetics, root-cause medicine, inflammatory cytokines, and the science of antioxidant pathways.

I’m grateful for the time he and Denise have so generously shared with me, and for Dan’s patience in walking me through the depth of his research and clinical observations.

There is something special about physicians who never stop asking better questions.

Always learning. Always curious. Always grateful for the people willing to teach.

"Your labs are normal."

Normal compared to what? A reference range built from a population of people who were also tired.

And nine times out of ten, that "normal" was a single TSH. TSH tells me what your brain is shouting at your thyroid. It doesn't tell me how much active hormone actually reached your cells. Plenty of women make T4 just fine and can't convert it to T3, the form your body actually uses. A TSH sails right past that every time.

Full picture: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, antibodies. Plus iron, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, inflammatory markers, cortisol. Low iron alone can wreck conversion.

You're allowed to want more than "not sick."

Book a consultation, link in bio. Let's run the labs that answer the question.

Your heart pumps your blood. Your lymph has no pump. It only moves when you do.

So when life gets still, you feel it. Rings tight by 4 p.m., heavy legs, puffy and foggy by dinner. I'm not surprised. I'm interested.

Flowpresso is now at Solutions: one fully clothed hour of rhythmic compression, gentle warmth and deep pressure.

Book a session through the link in bio, or book a consultation with me to find the root cause.

FDA-listed Class II device. Not right for everyone, so we screen first. Educational only, not medical advice.

You've been pushing through this for a while now.

The second cup of coffee. The earlier bedtime that doesn't help. The mental note to be more disciplined about food and workouts. And you are still tired, still foggy, still quietly wondering what is wrong with you.

Let me say this plainly. Nothing is wrong with you.

One rough week is not a thyroid problem. Six months of fatigue, brain fog, and weight that will not move despite real effort is a pattern, and patterns are information.

At your consultation we look at that pattern properly. Your symptoms, your history, and testing that goes well past a single TSH. Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, inflammatory markers. Some women produce plenty of thyroid hormone and struggle to convert it into the active form. One lonely TSH will never show you that.

Then we build a plan around what your body is actually doing, not what it should theoretically be doing.

You have pushed through long enough. Let's look.

Consultations open now. Link in bio.

A patient of mine was told to keep her hormonal IUD in for life, because the “progesterone” on it protects her breasts.

Oh no.

There is no progesterone on that IUD. There’s levonorgestrel. A synthetic progestin. Different molecule, confusingly similar name, and that name has been doing a lot of heavy lifting in exam rooms.

It matters. When researchers have compared the two directly, they have not behaved the same way in breast tissue. Not remotely.

Hormonal IUDs do real work. Contraception. Heavy bleeding. Endometrial protection. Breast protection was never on that list.

To the clinician who said it: I don’t know your name, and my patient didn’t give it to me. Good for her. But I keep a spreadsheet of every study comparing these two molecules, and I would love to buy you coffee and walk through it with you. We’re on the same side.

Two molecules. One name. Let’s fix it.

We solved iodine deficiency 100 years ago… right?

Maybe not.

Iodized salt made an enormous difference when iodine deficiency was widespread in Kentucky and throughout the Ohio River Valley. But now we’re learning that iodine deserves another look, especially when we’re talking about thyroid and endocrine health.

And here’s where I DON’T want you to hear me say, “Go buy an iodine supplement.”

Please don’t play supplement roulette.

Your body is wonderfully complicated, and more isn’t automatically better. Testing and monitoring matter. We want to know what your body needs before we start throwing supplements at it.

Let us show you the research.

Why is the P-Shot® worth understanding?

Because before you decide whether a treatment is right for you, you deserve to understand how it works, who may benefit, what the research says, and what you can realistically expect.

That's exactly what we'll cover in tomorrow's P-Shot® Primer.

Tuesday, September 29

6:30–7:30 PM EDT

No pressure. No commitment. Just an hour of honest education about an option you may not have known much about.

GSM has a name. And women deserve to know it.

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause can affect vaginal and urinary health as estrogen changes, and too many women have been left in the dark about what is happening to their bodies and what options are available.

One of the biggest conversations we need to have is about vaginal estrogen.

You don’t have to be in full menopause to need support. And being on systemic estrogen doesn’t necessarily mean the vaginal tissues are getting everything they need.

In this episode of Mandi Minutes, I’m talking about GSM, vaginal estrogen, and the information women should have been given a long time ago.

Listen to Mandi Minutes for a few minutes of hormone health, wellness, and research without the fluff.

Podcast link in bio.

Let us show you the research.

The Flowpresso® 3-in-1 therapy is a game changer for athletes, active individuals, and anyone looking to support their body’s recovery.

I find it really helps move lactic-acid around the body with the full body compression treatment. It’s a pretty unique treatment and I’m stoked to have come across it. Would highly recommend giving it a go”
