Methylation, B12, and the Bigger Picture
This morning I found myself thinking about something quite simple. How much B12 do we actually need on a day-to-day basis to feel mentally clear, to have energy in the brain, and to cope with stress a little bit better? Not just to avoid deficiency, but to actually...
The Future of Hormone Health: How Testing Is Transforming Personalized Care for Hormonal Health
This past weekend I spent time in Dallas attending DUTCH Fest, a gathering focused on the future of hormones and hormone replacement therapy. It was an incredibly exciting space to be in because the conversation around hormones is finally evolving. We are beginning to...
H. Pylori Explained: Symptoms, Genetics, and Foods That Help Protect Your Stomach
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most common bacterial infections in the world, with estimates suggesting that nearly 50% of the global population carries it. This spiral-shaped bacterium lives within the mucosal lining of the stomach and has...
When Methylation Demand Rises: Is Choline Being Diverted Away from Calm?
Choline is rarely part of the menopause conversation. We talk about strength training, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid, and maybe magnesium. This forgotten nutrient quietly underpins some of the most metabolically expensive processes in the body. It produces...
Methylation, Anaemia, and the Hidden Risk in Vegetarian Diets
Iron-deficiency anaemia is often reduced to a simple explanation: not enough iron in the body due to some reasoning. That could be heavy menstrual bleeding, poor diet or poor absorption. While these are all valid contributors, they do not tell the full story. In...

With the New Year marking the start of many projects and intentions, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle of wanting to do everything at once. January arrives with motivation to work out, start a new diet or eating plan, get morning sunlight, meditate, practice...
Intermittent Fasting in Humans vs Rodents: What the Evidence Really Shows
For the past decade, intermittent fasting has been presented as one of the most powerful tools we have for metabolic health, longevity, and disease prevention. Much of this enthusiasm comes from an impressive body of animal research, particularly in rodents, where...
Redefining Women’s Health: Metabolic Support, Hormone Balance, and Creating Change Beyond Ourselves
This holiday season, I’ve been reflecting on something much deeper than hormone health. I’ve spent countless hours this year thinking about the broader conflicts that shape women’s health across every decade of their lives. The pattern is painfully familiar: by the...
Why APOE4 Matters for Women: Genetics, Glymphatic Detox, and Alzheimer’s Prevention
For years, conversations around Alzheimer’s disease have revolved around age, memory loss, environmental toxins and processed foods. We now know that this story is far more complex and far more nuanced for both women and men. One of the central players in this story...
Menopause and the Brain: How Hormone Loss Triggers Inflammation, Hypometabolism, and Mitochondrial Decline
For decades, menopause has been framed as a phase defined almost entirely by declining hormones, but this understanding is far too narrow. The experience of perimenopause and post-menopause is not just about fluctuating estrogen and progesterone. It is a neurological...
Akkermansia Muciniphila: The Gut Microbe That Thrives on Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy
This week, I had the chance to dive deeper into a topic that I believe deserves far more attention in the metabolic health world: the unexpected relationship between Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy (KMT) and one of the most important gut bacteria we know of...
Low Testosterone, Inflammation and the Ketogenic Diet
