Menopause · Food as medicine · Integrative health
Speaking
I speak on three related subjects: midlife and menopause, food as medicine, and how integrative medicine is taught and practiced. The rooms vary, from grand rounds at an academic medical center to a TEDx stage to a corporate wellness session. What stays the same is a willingness to say plainly which parts of the evidence are strong, which are promising, and which are being sold to your audience.
