Hi! I'm so excited to be here. With the exception of one or two doctors in my 75 yr old life, I have felt unsupported by the medical profession. Once the idea of 'normal' vs 'optimal' was explained here, it became clear why. I look forward to being advised on proper labs and curated solutions to my various issues. I long to travel the way I used to, being able to scramble in and out of bunk beds in affordable group hostels and able to board a tour bus and walk up and down hills and be on my feet in museums. Getting older is not for sissies and I'm going to fight it with the help of the folks here!

melanie from west los angeles. i’m here to work with women who are seeking answers to issues not being adequately addressed by our conventional doctors within the 15 minutes that are alloted to a visit. current top three things are dealing with gut issues, belly weight, and fatigue. right now is trying to suss out blood tests. what other tests outside of the normal tests ive done that would be useful. the other main agenda item is to figure out my gut issues. im working thru the process of getting a sibo test right now…which is not easy with my network medi-cal insurance. holistic & natural solutions over medication anytime they can be applied. getting to the root is my priority. i’ve learned to harness my adhd without medication, basically because i didnt know i had it until i was 60 and was just using anonyous programs’ 12 steps to help me learn how to move through life. i do use a couple supplements currently to help with it because menopause really set me back in some ways. i had to diligently reapply everything i learned to get to where i was pre-menopause. its lovely there is so much attention being focused on peri & menopause. but there is post too!
