Can’t stress enough about the danger of getting health advice online from people who are least or not qualified at all to give any. There’s so much harm that could be done from misinformation that’s being peddled all over social media with absolutely no controls. Ranging from encouraging people to get a barrage of testing without any medical necessity, to advising them against preventive screenings, and now the latest that I seem to have been seen a rash of this new idea that cancer is trying to heal you and not kill you. Please and please, for the love of God, vet your sources of information carefully. Some countries have instituted a law that before anyone can speak credibly on any health or science topics, they would have to present their credentials and I think this is very helpful. Granted, the healthcare system may have failed people, but I promise you there are still doctors out here trying to do the best we can for our patients. The average doctor is not looking to kill anyone. They’re just trying to do the best they can within the limitations of the traditional healthcare system. If you don’t feel like you have a therapeutic relationship or connection with your doctor, by all means, keep it moving until you find one that you can trust. But please, take everything you hear and see on social media with a pinch of salt. And always follow the money. Why are they always trying to get you to buy something?

Hot flashes and irregular periods we all knew about.
But what’s this with ringing ears, itchy skin, heart palpitations, aching joints, burning mouth, frozen shoulder, dry eyes, brain fog, dizziness, urinary symptoms, anxious thoughts, poor sleep, tinnitus?
I was equally shocked when I actually tallied the list of non specific symptoms that could be pointing to menopause.
The menopause transition can affect much more than your menstrual cycle. Hormonal changes can coincide with changes in sleep, mood, cognition, skin, genitourinary health, musculoskeletal symptoms and more, and sometimes the symptoms women notice first aren’t the “classic” ones they were expecting. Many visits to PT for frozen shoulder when it was all about the peri/menopause.

With that being said, not every symptom in your 40s or 50s is automatically perimenopause.
Palpitations, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness isn’t always perimenopause.
Your age should not become a reason to stop asking what else could be going on and a good clinician knows to rule out all possible causes.
Menopause deserves to be recognized without ignoring or dismissing other medical conditions.
So yes, connect the dots.
Just don’t stop investigating when the dots don’t quite fit.
Which symptom surprised you the most? 👇🏾

I saw this on Threads somewhere today and my blood really ran cold. Are you seeing this advice online to ditch your mammogram for an ultrasound? If so that’s dangerous. Mammograms are the only imaging tool proven to detect microcalcifications which are tiny calcium deposits in the breast that can be the earliest sign of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive breast cancer. ultrasound doesn’t see them. At all! Ultrasound cannot replace mammograms. They look for different things. Replacing one with the other leaves dangerous blind spots. Supplemental ultrasound is evidence based for women with dense breast because it catches an additional 4 to 6 cancers per 1000 women that mammography misses. But it works because it’s layered on top of mammography not instead of it. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Radiologists all recommend mammograms as the foundation of breast screening. If you have dense breasts, ask your doctor about supplemental ultrasound in addition to your mammogram: skipping your mammogram based on social media advice is not a wellness choice. It’s a gamble. Save this and share this to any woman in your life who is on the fence about getting her mammogram.

Many still do not know about direct primary care and I’m on a mission to change that. I first learned about this during residency where my program went out of their way to show us residents that there was more than one way to practice medicine without joining the establishment right after graduation. At the time, coming from a completely different system, it didn’t really make sense and I was carrying student loans and unsure of the way forward so I never saw myself in that role. However, as the years went by, and my dissatisfaction With the traditional system intensified, as well as my own feelings of burnout, Dpc became a viable option, which allows me to give patients the care that they deserve, without losing myself in the process. Dpc removes the Insurance middleman and allows us to care for our patients largely without interference. It is a great option for people who are uninsured, under insured, or maybe even have great insurance, but simply want better access to the same physician every time, who knows you and knows your history. Insurance does not necessarily mean access. Interested in this model of care? Send me a DM and we can schedule a free meet and greet to see if this is a good option for your care needs.

And for medical students and residents, this might be a good option for you to explore right off the bat. There really is more than one way to skin a cat. Questions for me? Let’s talk in the comments.

Waiting on you because I remember everything you said at our meet & greet; including ‘I’ll sign up this week.’ 😅 DPC is different. So is how we show up for you. No judgment, life gets busy. But everything I’ve learned about DPC marketing is stuff they never once covered in medical school. And one thing that I’ve found to be true? It takes about 7 touches before someone feels ready to make a move. So I’m not going anywhere. I’ll keep showing up because that’s literally what DPC is built on.

DPC Summit 2024, I sat in this room quietly wondering if I was brave enough to quit my job.
DPC Summit 2026, I came back one year into building my own practice, reconnecting with people who get it in a way most people in my life simply can’t.
Same room. Completely different woman.
If you’re sitting where I was two years ago on the edge of something, scared, talking yourself in and out of it, just letting you know the version of you on the other side of that leap is worth meeting.
Bet on yourself. What is that step you’ve been scared of taking? Do share. And follow for more of my journey.

I have seen many people act like faith and science or medicine are mutually exclusive, but they do not have to be. When you have a legal issue, you consult a lawyer. When your car breaks down, you call the mechanic. You respect their training and trust their expertise. But why do we only call on faith the minute the body breaks down and suddenly it’s I don’t need a doctor. Trusting God does not require rejecting medical assistance. Instead, it means believing that God works through various means, including the doctor.
Sometimes your faith is the prayer. And sometimes faith is the action that follows the prayer. So yes, we pray, but while we’re at it, we also do what we can scientifically to take care of the body. Why choose one when you can have both? What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear them.
