Optimize Midlife with Womens’ Health Expert Erica Humbert

In this “Expert Episode” of Mom to MORE™, host Sharon Macey is joined by Erica Humbert, a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner and owner of Optimized Life Health, a medical practice that specializes in 1 on 1 care and finding the root cause of common problems in all areas of women’s health and wellness. 

Erica is the kind of women’s advocate we need.  

She understands WHY we’re exhausted, WHY we have trouble losing weight, WHY we aren’t sleeping well, WHY our hormones are out of whack, and what we can do to get our act together NOW for optimized health going forward. 

Erica treats hormone imbalances to achieve weight loss, optimize vitamin levels, and find mental and physical wellbeing.

Erica’s transition from traditional medicine to a more personalized, holistic practice highlights her dedication to empowering women to take control of their health. Erica’s focus on addressing hormone imbalances, strength training, and proactive self-care reflects her belief in the importance of tailored solutions for each individual. Her journey inspires others to advocate for themselves in healthcare, pursue their passions, and embrace a balanced, fulfilling life at any stage.

Erica has 21 years of healthcare experience, including 11 years as a family practice nurse practitioner, 10 years of nursing, and served our country for 5 years as a Navy Nurse.  She received her training at the University of Florida.

She is also a motivational speaker for organizations, conferences, and podcasts (now adding Mom To MORE™️!) on topics such as the importance of hormone and vitamin assessment and treatment, the mind-body connection and living a happy, healthy lifestyle.

Join Sharon and Erica as they discuss hormonal changes, advocating for yourself in healthcare, and the importance of strength training while you age.
