READ THE CAPTION!! Cannabis, perimenopause & s*xual health 🌿

Not gonna lie. I am super excited to finally marry my (seemingly unrelated) expertise in cannabis with my passion for women’s s*xual health & hormone care. Women are using cannabis. Many report relief but the research is still catching up. Also important to keep in mind that the research around medical cannabis (esp in women’s health) is limited because of its controlled substance status, and the fact that it is still federally illegal — what a fkn joke amiright?? 🙄

Early studies suggest possible improvements in s*xual pleasure and or**sm—which is why “female arousal disorder/difficulty reaching or**sm” are qualifying conditions for a medical cannabis certification in CT!

Product, dose, medications, and your health history matter. As does finding a medical provider who is well versed in cannabis medicine AND women’s s*xual health — though not many of us exist 🦄😬

What questions do you have about cannabis and women’s health? I will definitely be talking more about this so hopefully Meta doesn’t cancel me for it *xualhealth *d

GLP-1s may quiet more than just food noise… 👀

Some patients report changes in libido, arousal, and difficulty reaching or**sm after starting a GLP.

We’re still learning why, but GLP-1s appear to influence dopamine signaling and the brain’s reward pathways—which is what helps make cookies & sweet treats less tempting, but may reduce other (more fun) temptations as well.

This is something I’ve seen a handful of times in clinical practice and find that it’s not talked about enough. Have you noticed a change in your s*x drive on a GLP-1? *xualhealth

09/28/2026

TLDR: If you’re considering a GLP-1 medication, talk with your provider about your medical history, cardiovascular health, eye health, and any other risk factors before deciding. And please for the love of God, stop ordering lab-made mystery “peptides” from your local gym bro ✌️

POV: your nervous system has been running on cortisol, caffeine, and your kids’ snack crumbs for the last 6 months 🫠

Burned out women will spend months trying every supplement advertised to them, tracking their cycles, fasting or keto-ing

…but maybe what your nervous system actually needs is:

☀️ sunshine
💃🏽 laughter & dancing
🍹 uninterrupted adult conversation
🚫 nobody asking “mom?” every 3 seconds

So yes girl… your group chat ‘mamis in Miami’ getaway IS medically necessary 💃🏽🌴☀️🍹😂

To my fellow working moms / corporate girlies / business owners:
This is your sign to book the girls trip… life is too short! If you’re a hard-working chica who desperately needs a vacay, send this to your group.

Tagging my Miami mamis 😘
THIS 👏 IS 👏 OUR 👏 TIME 👯‍♀️✨

💛 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month —and this one has been especially humbling for me. 💛

As someone who both treats and personally lives with endometriosis, I’ve been reminded recently just how complex this condition really is.
🎗️Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% (190 million) of reproductive age women worldwide. 🎗️

Endometriosis is often reduced to “painful periods.”
But in reality, it is so much more. Endo is a chronic inflammatory condition that is deeply influenced by:
• hormones
• immune function
• gut health
• sleep
• stress & central nervous system regulation
• nutrition, and more...

And yet, so many women are given limited options—without ever addressing the full picture.

💛 This is something I approach very differently in my practice.💛
Because managing symptoms is one thing…
but actually supporting the body at a deeper level is where real change happens.

If you’re struggling with endometriosis, you’re not alone.
And there are ways to support your body more fully.

💛 Happy to connect and continue the conversation.💛
Here are a few great accounts to follow to learn more about Endometriosis:

One of the biggest misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy is that it should work immediately.

Hormones are not like a pain medication.

When we start HRT we are:
• restoring estrogen receptor signaling
• improving sleep architecture
• stabilizing neurotransmitters
• rebalancing metabolism

Most women notice improvement in phases:

Week 1–2 → sleep + anxiety
Week 4–6 → energy + brain fog
Week 8–12 → libido + metabolism

If you started hormones and gave up after a few weeks, you may have stopped right before things were about to improve.

Hormone optimization is a process, not a quick fix.

If you’re struggling with perimenopause symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, or low libido, we help women (and men) address the root cause through comprehensive hormone evaluation and treatment.

Just this week, three women told me they were advised to “wait it out” (by their health providers) until their periods stopped for a full year before discussing hormone therapy.

This is simply not true.

Perimenopause can begin up to 10 years before menopause (yes, TEN years!!) and symptoms like poor sleep, mood changes, no libido, weight gain, and brain fog are not something women need to simply tolerate.

Thoughtful, individualized hormone care is based on symptoms, labs, and physiology — not some arbitrary timeline.

If you feel dismissed or unheard, it doesn’t mean your experience isn’t valid. It means you deserve a more nuanced conversation with a provider who understands the rollercoaster of hormones that accompany perimenopause.

✨If you’re over 35 and still being told “your labs look normal”… but you feel tired, puffy, moody, or just not yourself — it’s probably because the right labs were never checked. 💛
Here are 3 more tests I run for every hormone + metabolic client at Higher Med:
4️⃣ hsCRP — picks up early inflammation your P*P usually misses.
5️⃣ S*x Hormones — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-s + SHBG actually explain your energy, mood, sleep, libido + metabolism.
6️⃣ Advanced Lipids (ApoB) — the REAL measure of cardiovascular risk (so much more accurate than a basic cholesterol panel).
You’re not “just getting older.” You’re under-tested — and you deserve answers that actually make sense.

✨ Labs Your P*P Rarely Orders
Feeling exhausted, sluggish option, or just off… but your doctor keeps telling you “everything looks normal”?
Yeahhh… no. 😅
It’s usually because they’re not running the labs that actually explain what’s going on.
Today’s top 3 labs that change EVERYTHING after age 35 👇
1️⃣ Fasting Insulin
This shows your true metabolic health (WAY before your A1C changes). High insulin = stubborn weight, carb cravings, afternoon crashes.
2️⃣ Full Thyroid Panel
TSH alone doesn’t cut it. We need Free T3, Free T4 + antibodies to really understand why you’re tired, cold, gaining weight, or feeling inflamed.
3️⃣ Ferritin (Iron Storage)
Low ferritin = fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, low thyroid function… and no one checks it unless you’re already anemic. 🤦‍♀️
If these 3 aren’t being checked… you’re flying blind.
And you deserve better than that.
Part 2 is coming next — I’ll break down the hormones, inflammation markers, and advanced lipids that every person over 35 should know about. 🔥

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s for your brain, bones, and beyond. 🧠 💪

✨As women age, we naturally lose muscle mass, bone density, and sometimes—mental clarity. Creatine can help with all of that.
Studies show creatine supports:

• Muscle strength (yes, even if you don’t lift heavy)
• Brain health and memory
• Mood and energy (especially during perimenopause!)
• Healthy aging and bone density

❇️ Creatine is one of the most researched supplements of all time, linked to over 64,000 peer reviewed articles—yet most women aren’t using it.

✨ Want to feel stronger, sharper, and more resilient as you age? Don’t sleep on creatine.

❇️ The Creatine I typically use & recommend to my patients is the Designs for Health Creatine Monohydrate— which uses a micronized technology for improved absorption & enhanced bioavailability to targeted muscle tissue. Plus, it won’t break the bank at $31 for a 90-day supply! DM with any questions :) Link in Bio for 10% off.
