Does ember take insurance? It’s one of the questions I get asked most often.

The short answer is no. And there’s a reason for that.

I built ember because I wanted more time with my patients. Time to listen, understand what’s really going on, and follow through.

I care for fewer patients so I can actually get to know them, not just their medical history, but their goals, concerns, and what matters to them.

You can still use your insurance for labs, imaging, medications, specialists, and hospital care.

Because having health insurance shouldn’t mean settling for rushed primary care.

You don’t need another wellness checklist.

If you’re exhausted, gaining weight around your middle, waking up at 3 a.m., and being told to “just sleep more,” you deserve more than another list of things to try.

Hormones, metabolism, sleep, stress, lifestyle. They’re all connected, and understanding how they’re affecting you is where we start.

Because knowing what to do and having a physician who helps you figure out what’s right for your body are two very different things.

Ever been told testosterone “isn’t for women”? Drop a 🙋 below.

Your ovaries make it. Levels fall with age. Off-label doesn’t mean off-evidence — and the FDA just spent a full day on this for menopausal women. Every woman deserves a doctor who will understand her picture.

Save this. Send it to someone who’s been shut down.

Overheard this at my son’s football game.

Four things she wanted to ask her doctor. One got answered. Neither of them even blinked — like that’s just how it goes now.

Patients are frustrated. Clinicians are frustrated too. And it’s because the system they’re both stuck in was never built for what they actually need. It was never designed around time — it was designed around volume. Wickets. Checking boxes.

Over the next few weeks, I’m talking through what it looks like to go outside that system and get the care it was never built to give you. This is part one.

120 patients in one week. That was someone’s “record” I overheard today — and it stuck with me.

We’ve built a healthcare system that often rewards clinicians for how many people they can move through a day — not how much time they have to think, listen, investigate, or follow through.

That isn’t a criticism of the clinician.

It’s a criticism of the system.

Great medicine shouldn’t be a race.

Sometimes the most valuable thing a physician can give you is simply time.

It’s a big part of why I chose to practice medicine differently.

Being proactive about your health shouldn’t mean piecing everything together on your own.

You can care deeply about your health, ask good questions, get the labs, see the specialists, do the research—and still feel like no one is looking at the whole picture.

I think good medicine should feel different than that.

You should know what your labs mean.
You should have a doctor who knows you.
You should have someone you can reach.
And you should have a physician who can step back, connect the dots, and help you decide what actually matters.

Kinda chic, if you ask me.

She was already on testosterone. It still wasn’t working.

Her clinic’s answer was to raise the dose.

Still nothing—low drive, flat energy, poor training response, and no meaningful change in how she felt.

But her total testosterone looked normal. The real issue was how much of it her body could actually use.

Those are not the same problem, and they do not have the same solution.

Before changing your dose, ask:

• Has free testosterone been checked—not just total?
• Has SHBG been measured?
• Is the broader hormonal and metabolic picture being considered?
• Is anyone asking why you aren’t responding?

Testosterone can be genuinely meaningful for women when it’s indicated and properly evaluated.

But more of the wrong approach is still the wrong approach.

In Arizona and looking for this kind of evaluation? I’m happy to connect on a discovery call.

We talk a lot about testosterone in men.

The next video is about women.

Her total testosterone looked “normal.”

But normal and optimal are not the same thing.

And in her case, the number everyone
was looking at wasn’t even the right one.

When testosterone was working and symptoms suddenly returned, the first question wasn’t:

“Does he need more?”

It was:
