My Journey to Hormone Optimization and Wellness Medicine

My path to specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy and medical weight management wasn't just professional—it was deeply personal. After experiencing the joy of welcoming my son at age 47, I began noticing perimenopausal symptoms that significantly impacted my quality of life and vitality.

Despite my medical background, I struggled to find a physician trained in hormone replacement therapy who would truly partner with me in addressing these symptoms. This frustrating experience revealed a critical gap in women's healthcare that I was determined to fill.

Transformative Personal Experience

It was my own four-year fertility journey that truly transformed my approach to medicine. Through 16 IVF cycles, 13 egg retrievals, 7 embryo transfers, and 4 surgeries, I experienced firsthand the disconnect between conventional medical approaches and what women truly need to optimize their hormonal health and wellness.

When we finally welcomed our miracle son, I knew my mission had to evolve. This personal struggle ignited my passion for functional medicine and comprehensive hormone optimization strategies that conventional healthcare often overlooks.

Comprehensive Professional Training

Determined to provide the care I couldn't find, I invested extensively in specialized training through the Menopause Society and WorldLink Medical, becoming certified in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause and menopause symptom management. Additionally, my training with the Obesity Medicine Association equipped me to address the complex relationship between hormonal balance and weight management.

These experiences led me to establish Eterna Vitality and Wellness, a multi-state telemedicine practice where women can access medical services such as personalized hormone optimization protocols and medically-supervised weight loss programs without geographic limitations.
