Your whole health. Not just your hormones

A doctor who's been
on both sides.

I spent 25 years practicing medicine across three continents — including years as a medical director in Dubai — before perimenopause caught me completely off guard. I diagnosed it in a patient before I recognized it in myself.

That experience changed how I practice. Today I bring together family medicine, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, menopause specialty care, and the analytical lens of a Duke MBA to treat the whole woman — not just the hormones.

Menopause deserves a whole body response.

Whole Body Menopause Care

Your cardiovascular system, your brain, your bones, your metabolism, your sleep — menopause affects all of it. I assess and treat the whole picture, not just the symptoms that brought you in.

Precision Medicine

Your genetics, your biomarkers, your history, your goals. Cookie-cutter protocols fail because no two women experience menopause the same way. Your care plan should be as individual as your biology.

The Long Game

Menopause isn't an event — it's the doorway to the next thirty years. I help you build the foundation for cardiovascular health, bone density, cognitive vitality, and metabolic strength that lasts.
