Grief often hits us when we least expect it. It can feel overwhelming and all consuming. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela. This natural disaster has impacted many people in Caracas and La Guaira, and so many around the world, as the Venezuelan community reaches far and wide. Here are some herbal allies to reach for when grief hits. They can be used in many ways, and often help soothe the heart simply by being in their presence.

Heavy bleeding is not just a “period problem.” When you’re losing too much blood each month, your iron stores can drop — and that can show up in ways many women don’t connect to their cycle. You may notice: 🪫 Fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep 🪮 Hair shedding or thinning 🧊 Feeling cold often đź’« Dizziness or lightheadedness đź’“ Heart racing or shortness of breath 🧠 Brain fog or poor concentration 🍬 Feeling shaky, weak, or like your blood sugar is “off” Heavy bleeding doesn’t cause diabetes, but iron deficiency can sometimes feel like low energy, weakness, or blood sugar crashes — which is why testing matters. If your periods are getting heavier, longer, or harder to manage, don’t just normalize it. Check your iron. Check your hormones. And find out why it’s happening.
Welcome back to Herb Walk 🌿 Today’s find: bladderwrack. Also known as Fucus vesiculosus, bladderwrack is a type of seaweed traditionally used to support thyroid health, immune function, and mineral intake. It’s naturally rich in minerals — including iodine — which is one of the reasons it’s often talked about in relation to thyroid support. And yes… it’s very squishy. 🤍 Always check with your healthcare provider before using herbs or seaweed medicinally, especially if you have a thyroid condition or take medication.
Are you avoiding sex in perimenopause? It may not be “low libido.” During perimenopause, intimacy can change because of shifting estrogen, lower testosterone, vaginal dryness, pain with sex, poor sleep, and higher stress. And when sex feels uncomfortable, your body may start avoiding it — not because you don’t care, but because it doesn’t feel safe or pleasurable anymore. A few things worth exploring: ✨ Hormonal support with your provider ✨ Sleep and stress regulation ✨ Testing testosterone levels ✨ Checking if pain, dryness, or irritation is part of the reason you’re pulling away In my Women’s Health Newsletter, we deep dive into topics like this with more clarity, education, and less shame.

Your period may get heavier before it disappears. And no, you’re not imagining it. During perimenopause, hormone shifts can make bleeding heavier, longer, or more unpredictable — and for many women, this becomes one of the most frustrating parts of the transition. The good news? You have options. Hormonal IUDs aren’t just for birth control. They can also be used to help reduce heavy bleeding and support you through perimenopause. You don’t have to “just deal with it” every month. Book a visit with me and let’s talk about what’s actually going on — and what can help.
Sometimes it’s not low libido. Sometimes… sex actually hurts. In my Women’s Health Newsletter, we’re talking about why sex can become painful, why so many women think they’ve “lost desire,” and what might actually be happening in the body during perimenopause and menopause. One thing I really want more women to know about: vaginal estrogen. For many women, it can be a safe and effective option — and even for some women with a history of breast cancer, it may be worth discussing with your provider. Painful sex is common, but it’s not something you have to silently push through. đź“© Subscribe to my newsletter through the link in bio to learn more.
Heavy bleeding is common — but it’s not something you should have to normalize. Fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and perimenopause can all affect your bleeding pattern. Heavier periods, longer cycles, clotting, pelvic pressure, or sudden changes in your cycle may be signs that your body needs a closer look. Sometimes the root cause is hormonal. Sometimes, there may be an underlying uterine change. That’s why I offer point-of-care ultrasounds in my practice — to bring clarity, reassurance, and help get to the bottom of what’s going on. Schedule your ultrasound today, so we can get to the root of your heavy bleeding.
If you’re in your 20s with PMOS, menopause might feel far away — but here’s why it matters now. PCOS/PMOS can influence your hormonal health long-term, including how you move through perimenopause and menopause later in life. Here’s what to know: You may experience menopause later than your peers. Symptoms like chin hair growth or hair thinning may become more noticeable during perimenopause. Insulin resistance often becomes more prominent in perimenopause — and many people with PCOS/PMOS are already navigating it earlier. That’s why supporting your metabolism, hormones, weight management, and visceral fat now can make a real difference later. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS/PMOS symptoms or entering perimenopause, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Book a consultation to get personalized support.
PCOS is more than “cysts on the ovaries.” That’s why some practitioners are shifting the conversation toward PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — a name that better reflects what this condition actually involves. Because this isn’t just an ovarian issue. It can affect metabolism, hormones, fertility, mood, weight regulation, inflammation, and long-term health. Symptoms may include irregular cycles, infertility, anxiety, acne, hair changes, and difficulty managing weight. PMOS requires more than symptom management — it needs ongoing, whole-body, integrative care. If you’ve been struggling with PCOS symptoms and feel like you haven’t been heard, let’s talk.
