Trusted guidance on menopause, perimenopause, sexual health, and gynecology — expert insights for women in North Denver and beyond.
I love writing and teaching, but with two jobs, three kids (and a new puppy 🐾) my blog has been on pause. Fresh posts will return in December when I shift fully into Elevated Menopause Care & Direct Gynecology.
Exercise in midlife
Exercise in midlife isn’t just about weight—it’s about heart health, bone strength, metabolism, and brain resilience. Learn why cardio and strength training matter during perimenopause and menopause, and how to build a routine that works with your changing body.

In my first blog post, I share my own brain-fog moments from the hospital and unpack what the science says about why it happens—and what can help.
