Wellness Optimizing Warrior M.D.
Our healthcare system is run and dominated by Big Pharma and for-profit health insurance companies. No one is fighting for you! Getting great medical advice is expensive, and not enough professionals spend time educating their clients. Entering the healthcare system for anything can be a struggle. I want to fight for you and be your wellness warrior. Join me in creating a community that educates, empowers, and nourishes optimal wellness. Our healthcare system needs a revolution. We need change; we need better and easier access to a healthcare system that promotes wellness and is not fixated on disease and merely alleviating symptoms. Let’s take back our health and own it!

This month we’re taking a few episodes to explore things to keep top of mind for men’s health. Even if you’re not a man yourself, the men in your life may have some unique needs and health issues you’ll want to know about.
In the United States, heart attacks kill about 325,000 men per year. So, why are men so prone to heart ...
We’re continuing our conversation about insurance coverage today, specifically how it impacts your access to wellness procedures and therapies. All insurance companies are positioned in a particularly advantageous position. People tend to have unrealistic expectations about what they’re being offered, and this usually comes to light when they get denied.
In this episode we’re discussing vitamins and what insurance coverage looks like for them. IV vitamin therapy is beneficial to your health for so many reasons, but some types may be covered and some may not. Additionally, hospitals also have very specific policies and protocols about what they will offer, and typically they do not offer IV vitamin therapy.
Today we’re continuing our discussion about IV vitamin therapy, especially regarding how administering vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and amino acids through IV can be beneficial for you.
Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system, and injectable forms provide a rapid increase. If you feel exhausted or stressed, whether from...
Let’s dig deeper into IV vitamin therapy. Specifically, we’re exploring how to administer vitamin therapy and going further in depth with the vitamins themselves.
Generally, IV vitamin therapy lasts about 60 minutes, especially if you are getting more than a few vitamins at once. Rushing your infusion is probably not a good ...
Although IV vitamin therapy is far from mainstream, it’s a great alternative therapy for many reasons. There are many hours that doctors and healthcare professionals have to put into self-education about IV vitamin therapy before they can be comfortable offering it.

The first time I tried CoolSculpting, I wasn’t sold on it, so I had decided no...
Today we’re exploring body contouring, including what exactly it is, the pros and cons, and the various ways you can achieve it. The first thing you need to know is that body contouring is not at all similar to weight loss. The goal, more specifically, is to change the shape of your body, not necessarily the number on the scale.
In today’s episode we’re welcoming Meghan Morrissette as a guest. Meghan is a dedicated aesthetics nurse of 15 years, and she’s here to share her knowledge on filler injections and more. She specializes in facial balancing and contouring with injectables.

Today we’re discussing vaginal laser technology in detail and which options should be considered for best results. The MonaLisa Touch was the first vaginal laser technology introduced in the US—but previously, the same technology has been used for fine lines and wrinkles.
The purchase of any laser for a woman’s intimate well...
The most recent breakthrough launched in the last decade for vaginal health improvement has been laser technology. This new approach comes from an emphasis on looking for ways to promote health and healing (as opposed to destroying disease). There is a demand for safe treatment for serious medical conditions that cause vaginal discomfort and pain.
Endometriosis can make intimacy difficult for women to enjoy—and that’s not just for young women, but women of all ages. Endometriosis is when the uterine lining (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus. The cause of this is unknown, however it causes inflammation, scarring, and pain.
Research regarding treatment is severe...
There are two conditions that can impact a woman’s sexual wellness regardless of their age: vulvodynia and vaginismus. These conditions can be painful and limit a woman’s desire for intimacy—all while they suffer in silence. This is why it’s so important to open up a conversation about these conditions and the options available for treatment.
In this episode, we’re continuing our discussion about sexual wellness during perimenopause. This stage of life can be extremely difficult for women who are sensitive to changes in mood. They may look to outside sources to alleviate this stress. For example: sweet and salty foods or alcohol.
This stress, and the weight gain ...
How can women find optimal intimacy in all stages of life, including during perimenopause? Most women experience perimenopause around their early forties, and a woman’s body goes through a lot of changes at this time, some of which greatly impact their desire to be intimate with their partners.
Taking steps early on is a wom...

We’re continuing our conversation about concierge medical practices this week. There were a few reasons I decided to go with a membership practice; the first one being financial survival.
Our healthcare system has been compromised, and something has to change. Doctors have almost no choice but to go cash and stop accepting i...
Do you know what the benefits of a concierge medical practice are? There are a few to cover for both doctors and patients. In today's economy, our purchasing power has been reduced. So, everyone wants to know: is a medical practice membership really worth it?
