My goal has always been to sit somewhere between clinical science and real world experience. I am constantly reading one study after another, but research findings do not always translate neatly into clinical practice. Human beings are more complicated than a research...

The ketogenic diet is often described as an anti-inflammatory diet, but ketosis alone does not guarantee that inflammation will come down. Ketones can produce important anti-inflammatory effects, particularly beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB),  which acts as both an energy...

When we talk about gut health, most people immediately think about probiotics, supplements, or removing foods from their diet. Yet one of the most powerful ways to support the gut microbiome is often much simpler: eating a wider variety of foods. A useful goal is to...

I have always been fascinated by the brain. Ever since I first experimented with the ketogenic diet, I have been hooked on understanding how the brain works and what influences its ability to perform at its best. Whether through exercise, nutrition, learning, or...

Happy Memorial Day to everyone who is celebrating. Long weekends can feel exciting for some families and stressful for others, especially when you have young children at home and you are trying to juggle activities, meals, work, and simply keeping everyone happy and...

I go through phases in my career where I feel hopeful about the direction women’s health is moving in, and then there are days where I feel we are still very much practicing symptom-based care. Women’s health is incredibly complex, and no two women need exactly the...

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...

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...

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...

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...
