Issues I can help you navigate
These are some of the many health concerns people bring to a session. If you don't see your situation listed, reach out — if I can help, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll say that too.
Health is complicated. The system that's supposed to explain it often makes things more confusing. Below are examples of the kinds of issues where an informed, unhurried conversation can make a real difference.
Chronic indigestion and problems with regularity
Persistent digestive symptoms are common and often poorly explained. We can talk through what's likely going on, what questions to ask your doctor, and what the evidence actually says about common treatments.
Chronic fatigue
Fatigue that doesn't improve with rest can have many causes — some straightforward, some complex. I can help you think through what's been ruled out, what hasn't, and how to advocate for a more thorough workup.
Migraines
Migraine management has evolved significantly. If you feel like your current treatment isn't working — or you've never been offered the newer options — I can help you understand what's available and how to have that conversation with your neurologist or primary care physician.
Arthritis
Whether osteoarthritis or an inflammatory type, arthritis raises real questions about medications, lifestyle, and long-term joint health. I can help you understand your diagnosis and what your options actually are.
Autoimmune disease
Autoimmune conditions are often difficult to diagnose and even harder to explain. I can help you make sense of your diagnosis, understand your treatment plan, and know what questions to bring back to your specialist.
Using AI and web searches for health information
AI tools and search engines can surface useful information — but also misleading or outdated content. I can help you evaluate what you've found and put it in context with your actual situation.
Mood problems
Depression, anxiety, and related conditions are often undertreated or treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. I can help you understand your options — including what the evidence says about therapy, medication, and lifestyle — so you can have a more informed conversation with your care team.
Insomnia
Sleep problems are extremely common and frequently dismissed. I can walk you through what's known about causes and treatments — including non-medication approaches that are often more effective than sleeping pills.
Difficulty losing weight
Weight is a medical issue, not a willpower issue. I can help you understand the physiology, review what the evidence says about different approaches, and think through what might actually work for your situation.
Memory problems
Concerns about memory — whether your own or a family member's — deserve a thoughtful, unhurried conversation. I can help you understand what's worth investigating, what's likely benign, and how to approach the topic with your physician.
Diabetes, cardiovascular risk, and heart disease
Managing these conditions involves a lot of numbers, medications, and conflicting advice. I can help you understand what your results mean, whether your current management is in line with current evidence, and what questions to raise at your next appointment.
Confusion about your drug therapy regimen
Many people are on multiple medications without a clear understanding of why, what the risks are, or whether all of them are still necessary. I can help you make sense of your regimen and prepare for a productive conversation with your prescriber.
How and when to get a second opinion
Knowing when to get a second opinion — and how to do it without offending your doctor or getting lost in the process — is something many people struggle with. I can help you think through whether a second opinion makes sense in your situation, what kind of specialist to seek out, and how to approach the conversation with your current physician.
Don't see your situation here?
Bring it anyway. If I can help, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll point you in a better direction.
