The kids are back in school…and I don’t know about you, but my mom heart always feels this transition. 🤍

There’s something bittersweet about that first day back. Watching them walk away a little older, a little more independent, and wondering how another summer went by so quickly.

We spend so much time making sure they’re ready…new schedules, supplies, activities, all the emotions that come with another year.

And somewhere in the middle of taking care of everyone else, it’s really easy to forget to check in with ourselves.

As the house gets a little quieter, maybe ask yourself:

How am I actually feeling?

Not just getting through the day…but really feeling.

Your fatigue, brain fog, changes in sleep, mood, weight or hormones aren’t things you simply have to accept as part of getting older.

Your body is always communicating with you.

Maybe this new season is an invitation to listen. 🤍

You’ve spent all summer taking care of them. Maybe it’s time to take care of you, too.

I’m honored to have completed the Women’s Health and Wellness Executive Education Program at Harvard Medical School.

I’ll admit, stepping into big academia pushed me well outside my comfort zone. Not because I wasn’t knowledgeable on the subject but because we have differing views on health. Each module required both an exam and a written paper, challenging us to think critically and apply evidence not just memorize it.

For my final paper, I focused on using lifestyle and education to help women navigate midlife. My professor described it as strong, practical, evidence-based, and foundational, highlighting its real-world application for women in midlife.

What struck me most is that the very principles I was evaluated on are the same principles I’ve built my practice around: educating women, addressing lifestyle, and translating science into practical, everyday action.

Knowledge is only valuable when it’s applied. My hope is that more healthcare moves beyond simply treating symptoms and begins equipping women with the education they deserve.

Because the best physicians never stop learning and our patients deserve nothing less.

To every woman who has trusted me with her story…thank you. You inspire me to keep learning, growing, and pursuing excellence.

Hormones are not static meaning they are not the same at 8:00 in the morning as they are throughout the day and testing them as if they are can leave important pieces of the story behind.🤍

For more than 20 years in practice, I’ve used advanced hormone testing to better understand what is happening beneath a woman’s symptoms. The DUTCH Test is one of my most trusted tools because it goes beyond a single hormone value.

It allows us to evaluate the metabolites of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA, while also looking at hormone metabolites and the diurnal cortisol pattern how cortisol rises (circadian rhythm) and falls throughout the day.

Why this matter?

Because fatigue, disrupted sleep, brain fog, weight changes, anxiety, hot flashes and low libido rarely exist in isolation. Hormones, stress physiology, metabolism, thyroid function and lifestyle are interconnected.

DUTCH testing isn’t the entire clinical picture but combined with symptoms, history and blood work, it can give us a much deeper understanding of what a woman’s body is communicating.

Better information, the physician trained in hormones (not ones saying they are) allows us to ask better questions and create more individualized care.

Are you in midlife and thought…I am doing everything right yet still completely frustrated?!?

Eating less.
Walking more.
Sleeping less and exhausted

And your body is acting like you’re doing nothing at all.

Here is a piece nobody talks to you about…

Estrogen helps your cells respond to insulin. As estrogen falls, your cells stop listening as well as they used to. Same food. Same walk. Different response.

That is insulin resistance.

And once insulin is running high in the background, it makes everything else harder. The hot flashes.
The 2pm crash.
The lack of sleep that wakes you and you can’t fall back to asleep.
The weight that settles around your middle and will not move.

This is not a willpower problem.

It is a signal problem.

You cannot see insulin resistance on a scale. You can see it on a lab (I’m talking insulin index not HgA1c). You see glucose and HgA1c can be within normal range but no one checks insulin index which is a key factor. Outside that 2-5 range and you start to become insulin resistant.

You deserve to know what your numbers are actually saying.

At 52, I don’t want to just age… I want to age strong and well.

Today’s workout:
16 lb weighted vest + toe touches
3 rounds of 8. It may look easy but I’ll be feeling these!

Ten years ago, I asked Mark for a pull-up bar for Mother’s Day. His response? “Of course you would.” 😂

I have built this strength over decades . It’s built in the ordinary moments when I kept showing up daily even when I didn’t want too!

Staying consistent + doing hard things = becoming stronger.

Not just for today.
Not just for my 50s.
For the decades ahead!🤍

No, strength training won’t make you bulky. 🤍

Women were handed the wrong goal: smaller, lighter, less. But after 40, what your body’s actually asking for is the opposite.

Testosterone isn’t a “man’s hormone” it’s yours, too. And no, this isn’t about steroids ( young ladies that is not a role model that’s unrealistic, unsustainable and extremely dangerous) it’s about restoring what perimenopause quietly took, at levels your body recognizes.

You don’t build strength by overriding your body. You build it by understanding it.

So chase STRONG, not skinny.

Strong enough to carry your grandchildren, stand against fractures, protect your brain and heart… and enjoy the life you’ve built.

Your value was never your size….YOUR value was never your size!

Your health, though?
One of the greatest legacies you’ll ever leave. 🤍

I’ll be honest…

I do not like social media…

I do NOT want to be an influencer (I get my dopamine from lifting)…

In fact, if you know me personally, you know social media is probably one of my least favorite parts of owning a business. I do not like to talk about myself, show pictures of myself, I’d much rather sit across from a woman, hear the depths of her story and brokenness and help her find answers.🤍

But as a woman who is almost 52 years old and who specializing in women’s health, I see a gap that I can no longer ignore.

The years between 45 and 55 can be some of the most vulnerable years in a woman’s life. This is when rates of heart disease, stroke, depression, divorce and su***de begin to rise, yet so many women are told their symptoms are simply “part of aging.”

They’re exhausted.

They’re gaining weight.

They’re anxious.

They’re not sleeping (this is usually the number 1 complaint not hot flashes).

They’re struggling to recognize the woman staring back at them in the mirror.

So no, I’m not here for followers.

I’m not here for likes.

I’m here because these conversations matter.

I’m here because women deserve to understand what is happening inside their bodies.

I’m here because if sharing what I’ve learned helps even one woman avoid years of unnecessary suffering, then stepping outside my comfort zone is worth it…that’s how much I love what I do!

So this isn’t about followers…

It isn’t about likes and popularity…

It’s about filling a gap.

And the women coming behind us deserve better. 🤍

I truly love what I do.🤍

Every day, I have the privilege of sitting across from women who are exhausted, frustrated, and wondering if they’ll ever feel like themselves again. Many have been told their labs are “normal,” that their symptoms are simply part of aging, or that they just need to learn to live with it.

I meet women at some of the hardest moments of their lives….when the fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, insomnia, joint pain, and loss of confidence have stolen parts of who they are and they don’t recognize themselves anymore.

And then something beautiful happens.

They begin to understand their bodies.
They start getting answers.
Hope returns.
Healing begins.

Messages and reviews like this remind me why Legacy Women’s Wellness exists:

“WOW just WOW! When I first started with Dr. Amy, I was miserable. I was living with what I thought would always be my normal. BUT after our first visit, I knew my life would only get better. She doesnt just do blood work , she digs deeper. I havnt felt this good in 10 years and we're not done yet. Dr. Amy is well worth the money. ♥️

I also forgot to tell you the shoulder pain I had even after surgery and multiple rounds of PT is GONE. I didnt realize there was a correlation with hormones, but apparently there is. So THANK YOU AGAIN!” ~ Ashley
