😩Itching head to toe during perimenopause or menopause?
Itchy skin during perimenopause and menopause is more common than most people realize.

When estrogen and collagen decline, the skin loses hydration and elasticity. The barrier that once protected it becomes thinner and more reactive. Rising histamine levels can make the skin itch even without a rash.

Many women describe it as tingling, burning, or a crawling feeling on the arms, legs, scalp, or chest.
Hormone shifts and nervous system sensitivity make everyday triggers worse. Even a favorite detergent, a lightly scented lotion, or a perfume you used to love can suddenly cause irritation.

This is not just a skin issue. It is a hormonal and inflammatory response that changes how the skin and nerves react to the world around you.
The combination of dryness, reduced sebum, and histamine imbalance makes the skin hypersensitive to touch, heat, and fragrance.

What helps:
hydrate throughout the day,
eat healthy fats, and include omega-3s and collagen.
Protect the skin barrier with gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
Avoid long hot showers, harsh scrubs, and synthetic fabrics. Switch to fragrance-free, non-toxic laundry products, skip softeners, and air dry your bedding when possible.
Even clean scents can inflame sensitive skin. Choose natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk that let the skin breathe.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help balance hormones, calm histamine, and support your nervous system naturally. With the right care, your skin can recover its comfort and resilience. This is a natural phase of change, not a permanent condition.

The mistake most women make after 50 is not eating nearly enough protein.

Protein is the foundation for strong muscles, healthy bones, steady metabolism, glowing skin, and healthy aging. Yet most women over 50 are eating half of what they actually need. Research shows the sweet spot is often 100 to 150 grams of protein per day.

When I went through menopause, I saw firsthand how quickly the body changes. Without enough protein, I noticed a drop in energy, slower recovery, and loss of muscle tone. Increasing my protein changed everything for me and is something I now emphasize with every patient in perimenopause and menopause.

How to make protein work for you:
• Spread intake evenly: 20 to 25 grams at each meal and add protein-rich snacks.
• Pair protein with strength training for the best results.
• Choose high-quality sources such as lean meat, fish, dairy, eggs, legumes, and soy.
• If needed, use a clean protein powder that is low in sugar and third-party tested.

Protein is not only about fitness. It is one of the most important tools for longevity, vitality, and resilience. Women over 50 deserve to feel strong, confident, and supported as they age.

If you are in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, start paying attention to your protein now. It is one of the simplest and most powerful changes you can make for your health.

💅9 things you need to know now about the transition from summer to late summer in TCM and how they are key for better health this fall.
1. Late summer is considered its own season. It is the pause between the high energy of summer and the cooling yin of autumn.

2.This season belongs to the Earth element. It is connected to the spleen and stomach, which govern digestion, energy, and emotional stability.

3. Digestive health is front and center now. A strong spleen and stomach help your body extract nourishment and keep you grounded.

4. Dampness builds more easily during this time. Symptoms include bloating, heaviness in the body, sluggishness, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.

5. Allergies, sinus congestion, and lingering fatigue are also common as damp combines with seasonal shifts.

6. The swing between hot afternoons and cooler mornings or evenings can weaken the body’s defenses. This makes people more vulnerable to catching colds and other seasonal illnesses.

7. Cold, raw, sugary or greasy foods can aggravate dampness and weigh digestion down. Choose cooked meals and warming spices like ginger, fennel, or cardamom.

8. Earth-nourishing foods such as sweet potatoes, squash, corn, rice, and root vegetables support balance. Eating at regular times and chewing well also strengthen digestion.

9. Supporting your Earth element now helps you transition into autumn with resilience, mental clarity, and stronger immunity.
🩷Listen to your body this season

My health journey

From an early age I yearned to be a doctor, spending my childhood devouring and memorizing health and medical encyclopedia pages. While in college, my concern for women’s health led me to volunteer in women’s health centers and to advocate for women’s issues. My pursuit of a medical degree was sidelined as I faced my own health complications. Soon after graduating and experiencing tremendous personal loss, I became chronically ill and battled a rare life-threatening auto-immune disorder and severe asthma. Having faced several near-death episodes, my journey to overcome my debilitating health conditions began. Along my quest I’ve accumulated profound personal experiences that have shaped my medical perspective, culminating in a career that spans nearly thirty years practicing Integrative, Chinese and Energy Medicine, nutrition, and other modalities of healing.

My personal transformation was a cover story for Natural Health magazine, recounted in Spontaneous Healing, by Andrew Weil, MD, and was the reason I appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show along with Dr. Weil to share my journey of recovery through multiple facets of integrative medicine.

Through years of managing a chronic illness, food allergies, and multiple chemical and environmental sensitivities, I continue to persevere, refusing to allow these challenges to define me, even having a healthy child after being told I’d never be able to. These health crises and the isolation they create have become all too common in our frenetic society. This certainty, along with my personal growth and healing, compels me to devote my life to helping others overcome their personal health challenges. Merging my integrative medical training, my skills as a former concierge, and my own medical odyssey, I have a unique capacity to help treat and coordinate care for my patients and ensure that they are properly guided through a team of caring practitioners. I am especially sensitive to the expertise of my patients’ physicians as I work closely with them to effectively integrate their treatment for optimal health outcomes.

You are not alone. If you’re ready to take control of your health I look forward to being your empathetic physician, partner and guide in your personal and transformational healing journey.
