What I am qualified to do.

Menopause and HRT consultation, across every stage.
  • Consult women through pre-menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
  • Conduct comprehensive intake, symptom assessment, and hormonal-pattern analysis.
  • Review clinical data and issue a practitioner-level diagnostic opinion, grounded in evidence-based protocols, mapping symptoms to the underlying hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle drivers.
  • Deliver a full HRT consultation — decision framework, risk and benefit analysis, delivery route (transdermal vs. oral), timing hypothesis and window of opportunity, individualized dosing considerations, and integration with non-hormonal options.
  • Identify clinical red flags that warrant urgent physician review and route the client accordingly.
  • Prepare structured pre-consultation briefs so the client's time with the treating doctor is sharp, focused, and productive.

What I cannot do.

Clear limits, by design.
  • I cannot sign off on a formal medical diagnosis.
  • I cannot provide any prescriptions — hormones, medications, or controlled substances.
  • I cannot substitute for the client's treating doctor.
