When a woman tells me she is exhausted, bloated and just doesn’t feel like herself, I don’t immediately hand her a long list of things to take. Instead, I want to understand: 1)what changed, 2)when it changed and 3)what has both already been evaluated and tried. My goal is to make your next step clearer- not make your routine more complicated.

Myself and my friend Johan were invited to be the models on this video project to market an amazing $12million dollar home. The video is breathtaking.

Told your hormones are "normal" but you're sleeping poorly, feeling anxious, and your cycles keep changing? Perimenopause can start earlier than most women expect, and a single lab test can miss it. Here's what the early signs look like and what to look at instead:

Your bloodwork says you're "not anemic" — so why are you still exhausted, always cold, and losing more hair than usual? Your CBC checks hemoglobin, but it almost never checks ferritin, your actual iron stores. You can be fully "in range" and still running on empty. New post on the blog breaks down why ferritin matters more than hemoglobin, and what to ask your provider for. Link in comments.

Blood work says your blood sugar is "normal" — but you're still crashing every afternoon and craving something sweet by 3pm? There may be more to the story. This week Dr. Cain breaks down why fasting insulin and HOMA-IR often reveal insulin resistance long before glucose or A1C ever move — and the simple daily habits that help.

Three simple daily habits that support healthy digestion:
1)chew your food slowly and thoroughly
2)eat without screens or stress when possible
3)include a variety of colorful vegetables each week.

Diversity in plant foods feeds a diverse microbiome.

None of these require a prescription.

They require intention.

Start with one and build from there.

This was our home in ST Louis. We sold it in August. I said to my husband “we should have a painting made of it”… then we didn’t. Yesterday, this package was in our mailbox. Our real estate agent sent this to us. ❤️❤️❤️
