I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your stool test cannot diagnose SIBO. Don’t be played for a fool!

SIBO = small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. A stool sample primarily reflects what’s happening in your colon, not a direct assessment of the microorganisms in your small intestine.

Yet somehow, the wellness pipeline often goes:
Order an at-home stool test—>Get a report full of colorful charts and scary-sounding findings
—> Be told you have SIBO, dysbiosis, or a gut that needs “healing”—> Spend hundreds of dollars on supplements to fix it

More testing doesn’t always mean more answers. And more supplements don’t always mean better care.

Your gut deserves evidence-based medicine, not an expensive guessing game. 🦠

“Adrenal fatigue” sounds scientific. It’s also not a recognized medical diagnosis.

But apparently, selling ground-up adrenal glands from cows, pigs, and sheep is easier than addressing the actual problem: chronic stress, poor sleep, burnout, and everything else life is throwing at you.

Because if eating pig adrenal glands is supposed to improve my adrenal function, then surely eating cow brains should make me a genius… and eating chicken wings should make me fly. 🐷🧠🐔✈️

Spoiler: that’s not how physiology works.

And importantly: adrenal insufficiency is real—and it’s a serious medical condition. It requires proper evaluation and treatment with appropriately formulated, FDA-approved medications under the care of a qualified medical professional.

So no, your adrenals don’t need a snack. They need us to figure out what’s actually going on.

🚨 incoming rant 🚨
I know it might seem like I am anti supplements but I’m not. I’m just against selling false hope and certainty. I’m against this marketing that makes people feel that they are never doing enough or that they in some way are responsible for their illness. Sometimes poor diet and lifestyle decisions do lead to illness I would never dispute that but most of the time it’s far more complex than that.

Oral estrogen does not need to be avoided like the plague

10/16/2026

🚨 Can’t find your estrogen patch because of the shortage? Don’t panic! 🚨

Transdermal estrogen is a great option for many women, but it’s not the be-all and end-all of menopausal hormone therapy. 💗

Oral estradiol is still a valid, effective option for many women, and some may even find it better suited to their individual needs.

The best form of estrogen isn’t necessarily the one everyone else is using. It’s the one that makes sense for you based on your symptoms, medical history, risk factors, and treatment goals.

So if your patch is nowhere to be found, don’t assume you’re out of options! 🙌

✨ Talk with your healthcare provider about whether oral estradiol could be an appropriate alternative for you. The route of administration matters, and oral and transdermal estrogen have different benefits and risks, so the decision should be individualized.

Remember: a medication shortage doesn’t have to mean putting your menopause care on hold. 💕

Save this post and share it with someone who needs the reminder!

Hormone health deserves more than a trending promise and a prescription handed out without a real conversation.

At MALI, we look at your symptoms, health history, stage of life, risk factors, goals, and the changes you are noticing in your body.

That may include conversations about estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, sleep, energy, libido, vaginal health, mood, bone health, and what you need to feel supported through perimenopause and menopause.

Hormone therapy is not right for everyone, but every woman deserves the opportunity to understand her options and make an informed decision.

If you’re ready for personalized hormone support, come see me at the Metabolism and Longevity Institute AKA MaLI

“Not everyone will choose me as their doctor.

People make mistakes. 😂

But when you get tired of hearing that everything is normal while you are still exhausted, foggy, uncomfortable, struggling with your weight, losing sleep, or wondering where your libido went, I’ll be here.

Normal test results do not make your symptoms imaginary. Sometimes we need more time, better questions, the right testing, and a doctor who is willing to connect the dots between your hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and overall health.

If you’re ready for care that listens and looks at the full picture, check out www.chsmetabolismdoc.com

Women who have had a hysterectomy or have an IUD dont necessarily NEED progesterone but they might WANT it

10/06/2026

Apparently, wanting to know what’s happening inside your body before something goes wrong is “paranoid.” 😂

I call it proactive.

You don’t have to be obsessed with your health.
You just have to be willing to pay attention to it.

Get the baseline.
Know your numbers.
Ask better questions.
Track the trends.
And give yourself the best chance to change course before something becomes a problem.

Because prevention isn’t fear.

It’s information + time + options.

What’s one health metric you wish you had started tracking sooner? 👇

10/05/2026

We’re pretty good at investing in things we want to last.

What if we thought about our health the same way?

You may feel perfectly healthy today, and that’s exactly when proactive medicine can make the biggest difference.

Invest in the future version of you. 🤍
