What a doctor and what a man! God truly put you on this earth for this reason. To be an advocate for women’s health. It’s an honor to have found your show.
I absolutely love these podcasts. And while I don’t live in AZ I have referred several of my friends to Dr. M’s office. As a woman who has suffered massively during my journey from peri to meno, due to incompetent doctors it is a breath of fresh air tolerance the deep reasons why these things are happening to my body. Dr. M has a soothing voice and these podcasts are absolute 💎 gems! A must listen 🎧 💛
Doc knows his stuff. Content is great. I like the topics of lifestyle, nutrition, and hormones the best so far.
Im not sure how exactly it was worded in podcast- but I do like the idea of “dumbing down the medical words” so that i understand better. ☺️
I support that, haha

A standout aspect is the host's consistent emphasis on personalized medicine, patient education, and avoiding shame in discussing female health, perimenopause, and autoimmune considerations.
