You know, there are really pivotal moments in your life where everyone gets choice in to decide what they want to do with that moment.

And my background, a little behind the scenes about me is I got my undergraduate degree in kinesiology, exercise physiology.

So I really understood what the body could do, what it could adapt to when it's optimized.

So I feel that the beginning of my medical career was in the best of, the best of what the body can do.

And so going into medicine, obviously we know how to fix train wrecks.

We deal in illness and disease, which is great.

We do need that side to society.

So now practicing 15 years of seeing the worst and fixing disease and operating, I did a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecology.

So it's high volume surgeon.

But what I really started to understand is the story.

The story behind the scenes of all these women that I would see in the exam room.

And I knew deep down, I was like, there's something else going on.

And that something else is all the behind the scenes thing that allow people to show up with disease.

Whether that's with nutrition, exercise, stress, emotional issues that are going on.

Actually...

feed into how we present in chronic disease as well.

And so I think that that was the pivotal moment that I said to myself, I have to do something different.

And that's when I ventured more into looking at root cause, looking at lifestyle, being able to actually educate while empowering women about their life, especially in midlife.

I think most say, I still have a period, I can't be in that phase.

Yeah, I think we affix a period or a menstrual cycle to functionality in the sense of nothing's wrong, right?
