A dedicated pharmaceutical professional and hormone specialist with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from St. Louis College of Pharmacy, I have over 35 years of experience in compounding pharmacy.
In 1995, I observed a concerning trend among my female clients, many of whom were experiencing sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression—issues that often affected their entire families. Recognizing a potential connection with hormone therapy and medication use, I embarked on an in-depth study of these patterns. Over the next five years, I attended nationwide seminars led by physicians and researchers specializing in hormone health, gaining valuable insights into the links between hormonal imbalances and mental health.
In addition, I attended two years at the Clayton School of Holistic Health, further expanding my knowledge of holistic health practices to better serve my clients.
In 2000, I began counseling women and men on hormone health, utilizing salivary testing to accurately assess hormone levels. Since then, I have helped over 17,000 women and 2,000 men achieve hormonal balance, significantly improving their quality of life and well-being for themselves and their families.
Additionally, I am the author of "Surviving the Fog, Sweat, and Tears of Perimenopause," a comprehensive guide designed to help patients better understand their hormones and navigate the challenges of this transitional period.
