One type of hormone delivery system is an estrogen patch—and here are some tips on how to keep it in place.
I often get asked how to make sure the patch doesn’t peel off too early or get wasted. From choosing the right spot to avoiding lotion and waiting before swimming—these little things help you get the most out of your hormone therapy.

💡 Pro Tip: If it won’t stick, don’t force it. Just replace it with a new one. Consistency is key for symptom relief.
Have questions about BHRT and what delivery method might work for you? Let’s talk.

I’m a double board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine— and here’s the weight loss nonsense I’m NOT falling for

“Just eat less and move more”? That’s outdated and oversimplified.

Obesity is a medical condition, not a moral failure.

If no one’s talking to you about hormones, muscle mass, or long-term metabolic health, you’re not getting the full picture.

I’m here to give you real, evidence-based solutions—
not shame, not fads.

If you’re ready to take control of your health,
I’m ready to help.
-Dr. Cruz

Menopause doesn’t just affect your mood or metabolism—
It can reshape your cardiovascular health in ways many women are never warned about.

Dr. Jeremy London explains it beautifully:

When estrogen declines, so does your body’s ability to relax blood vessels, clear LDL cholesterol, and fight inflammation. The result?
• Higher blood pressure
• Rising LDL cholesterol
• Increased visceral fat
• A chronic inflammatory state
These aren’t just numbers on a chart—these are real risks for heart disease, the leading cause of death in women.

But there’s good news:

You are not powerless in this transition.
What helps?
• A whole foods diet to reduce inflammation
• Consistent movement to protect your heart and metabolism
• Muscle-building to improve insulin sensitivity
• Prioritizing sleep for true recovery
• And yes—HRT may be a safe, effective tool for many women. But it’s a personal decision that deserves an informed conversation—not fear.

Menopause is a powerful shift in your physiology—
And you deserve real answers, real options, and real support every step of the way.

Let’s make sure your heart health is part of that conversation.
— Dr. Cruz

Menopause misconceptions are hurting millions of women— and this episode lays it all out.

In The Drive Ep. #348, Dr. Rachel Rubin shares what so many of us already know:

The medical system has failed women when it comes to menopause, hormones, and sexual health.
Some of the most powerful truths from the episode:

• Doctors stopped getting trained in HRT after the WHI study—and women have been paying the price ever since

• Testosterone matters in women’s health—but systemic and regulatory barriers keep it out of reach

• The bias against hormone therapy is rooted in fear, not facts—and it’s blocking progress
• And no, it’s not always too late to start HRT after menopause

As a physician, I find this both validating and infuriating.

As a woman, it’s personal.
We deserve better care. We deserve evidence-based options.
We deserve to be taken seriously.
Watch or listen to Episode 348 of The Drive wherever you get your podcasts.
It’s time to unlearn the myths and reclaim our health—without shame, fear, or silence.

Still wondering why women are left to suffer in silence through menopause?
This podcast explains exactly why.

In episode #348 of The Drive, urologist and menopause expert Dr. Rachel Rubin breaks down the systemic failures that continue to leave women underserved, under-informed, and untreated when it comes to sexual health and hormone therapy.

Some key takeaways from this must-hear conversation:

• The medical system’s failure to train doctors in HRT after the WHI study—and its lasting damage

• Why testosterone matters for women’s sexual health (and why it's so hard to access)

• The institutional bias against hormone therapy—and how it holds women back

• Whether it’s too late to start HRT after menopause

• And so much more

If you're in perimenopause or menopause and feeling dismissed, this conversation is a must.
It’s time to rewrite the story of midlife women’s health—with facts, not fear.

Thinking about starting a GLP-1 medication for weight loss?
Here’s what I always tell my patients: We don’t guess—we test.
Before starting any weight loss medication, I run labs to make sure it’s safe and to give us a full picture of your health.

Here’s what I recommend before we begin:

✔️ Basic Metabolic Panel – to check kidney function and blood sugar

✔️ Liver Tests – to screen for hidden inflammation or fatty liver

✔️ A1c – your average blood sugar over the past few months

✔️ Cholesterol Panel – and sometimes deeper markers like Lipoprotein(a) or ApoB

✔️ Thyroid, Iron, Vitamin D, B12 – if you're tired, foggy, or low energy

✔️ Fasting Insulin – often skipped, but key to spotting early insulin resistance

Why does this matter?
Because when we understand your numbers, we can:

✅ Keep you safe

✅ Track meaningful progress

✅ Celebrate wins beyond the scale
This is about more than just weight loss.

It’s about metabolic health, energy, and long-term vitality.
Don’t just chase a number—transform your health with clarity and intention.

Comment “Labs” if you’d like a quick checklist of what to ask for before starting a GLP-1—and make sure you’re in the right hands from the very beginning.

I recently had the chance to connect with a sleep medicine specialist, Dr. Kevin Trice, who attended the Obesity Medicine Association conference for the first time. What struck him most was realizing that obesity medicine has actually been around for decades—something he hadn’t known before. He was genuinely impressed by how advanced and forward-thinking our colleagues are in this space.

As someone deeply rooted in this field, I know firsthand that obesity medicine is incredibly complex. It’s not just about prescribing medications—it’s about understanding the whole patient. We address metabolic health, sleep, hormones, lifestyle, behavior, and more. That’s why gatherings like the OMA conference are so important. They give us the chance to come together, learn from one another, and stay at the forefront of the science so we can offer the best, most comprehensive care possible.

Happy Easter! Today we remember the hope that came with Jesus rising — a fresh start, peace, and love that goes beyond everything.

Here’s to new beginnings and holding on to what really matters.

What a year it has been! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been working on over the past year. Our women’s health program has evolved into a truly comprehensive care model. In our weight loss program, we go beyond just weight loss—we focus on overall metabolic health and emphasize the importance of prevention for long-term well-being.

We are growing and constantly evolving, always learning to better care for our patients. Education is at the heart of what we do because informed patients make empowered health choices.

More than just a clinic, our space is a safe haven where patients can unwind, feel heard, and receive care without judgment. Our patients love coming here because they know they are supported throughout their journey.

And there’s more to come!
