A testimonial from our new office manager on healing with escharotic therapy, instead of a LEEP or hysterectomy.

At 44, an abnormal Pap smear led to talk of invasive surgery, first a LEEP procedure, then a hysterectomy. She wasn’t comfortable with either option, and found escharotic therapy instead: a natural, topical treatment for cervical dysplasia and HPV that became part of healing her whole body.

Read her full story on the blog, link in bio.
Want to understand your own Pap smear results, or learn how to avoid an abnormal one in the first place? Dr. Miller’s course, Pap Matters: Understanding & Addressing Abnormal Pap Smears, walks you through it step by step.

And stay tuned, our Perimenopause course is coming soon, covering root causes and treatment options for one of the topics we hear about most in practice.

Belly fat is the perimenopause symptom that usually causes the most aggravation.

The short answer for why it happens: as your ovaries stop making estrogen, fat tissue takes over some of that hormone production. You still get estrogen in menopause, which is probably a surprise to a lot of people. They think once your ovaries stop, you just don’t make any estrogen. You actually make a lot of estrogen from your peripheral and abdominal fat tissue.

This is the final clip in the Perimenopause Series with Dr. Karen F. Miller, MD. Thank you for following along. We hope this series has given you useful information to better understand your body and what is happening during this transition.

We will be sharing more soon about an upcoming course covering this and the other symptoms in the series. Watch the full video and the whole series in the meantime with the link in bio.

Brain fog. Memory lapses. Trouble focusing. If this sounds familiar, your sleep may be playing a bigger role than you think.

Your brain does most of its repair in the first few hours of sleep. Miss that window, whether you are a night owl or you are waking up at 2am, and your brain does not get that repair time back.

This is a clip from Part 4 of the Perimenopause Series with Dr. Karen F. Miller, MD. The full video covers:
* Why sleep timing matters for brain repair
* A specialty sleep test that looks at neurotransmitters and cortisol
* How adrenal health supports brain function
* Top food recommendations including berries, pomegranates, cruciferous vegetables, and lion’s mane
* Top supplement recommendations including bacopa, lion’s mane, and L-theanine

More details coming soon on our perimenopause course.

Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and low libido are some of the most common complaints women bring up during perimenopause.

This clip is a preview of Part 3 of the Perimenopause Series, where Dr. Karen F. Miller, MD walks through a functional medicine approach to these symptoms.

The full video covers:
• Why hormone balance and adrenal function are the first places to look for irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and low libido
• How supplements and, when needed, additional progesterone can help support a dysregulated cycle
• The most common contributing factors to low libido, including adrenal dysfunction, stress, and testosterone levels
• Why Dr. Miller is cautious about high-dose testosterone and what that means for your care

Follow along as we continue exploring common perimenopause symptoms and what a functional medicine approach to care looks like.

Hot flashes in perimenopause can be caused by an estrogen-progesterone imbalance, low estrogen levels, or high cortisol. From a functional medicine perspective, understanding which one is driving your symptoms is the first step toward addressing them.

High cortisol is more common than most women realize. Perimenopause often coincides with some of life’s most demanding seasons. Teenagers, aging parents, relationship changes. All of that stress has a direct chemical effect on your hormone balance. 

Each week Dr. Miller, a board-certified OBGYN and functional medicine practitioner, shares what she sees most in her patients and what a root-cause approach to women’s health actually looks like.

This is a clip from Part 2 of the Perimenopause Series, Hot Flashes and Vaginal Dryness, with Dr. Karen F. Miller, MD.

Reposting the last video in the Functional Health Framework Series - Community and Connection.

In the Functional Health Framework, community and connection is the roof that holds everything together.

Research from Blue Zone populations shows that people who live longer and maintain good cognitive health share one common factor: they belong to strong communities.

As we get older, maintaining those connections takes more intention, but the impact on longevity and cognitive health is significant.

This is the final video in the series. Together we have covered the mind body spirit foundation, nutrition, environmental exposures, foundational supplements, mindful movement, restorative rest, adrenal health, and now community and connection.

Each piece builds on the last to create a strong foundation for long term health.

Thank you for following along.

Stay tuned as Dr. Miller continues with hormone health and other educational series.
