Do you have an in-person office?
The Midlife Renewal is a telemedicine practice, so all appointments are conducted virtually from the comfort of your home. This allows you to receive personalized care without the time and inconvenience of traveling to an office.
Virtual visits make it possible to provide thoughtful, individualized care while offering the convenience and flexibility that many women need during busy midlife years.
When laboratory testing is needed, you’ll typically visit a nearby Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics location. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
What states do you serve?
The Midlife Renewal currently provides telemedicine care for women located in Louisiana.
Because telemedicine physicians must be licensed in the state where their patients are located, I plan to expand to additional states over time as I obtain more medical licenses.
If you live outside of Louisiana and would like to be notified when care becomes available in your state, please fill out the contact form.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Schedule an initial consultation through the online booking system, and you’ll receive instructions for completing your health history and any necessary forms before your appointment.
During your first visit, we’ll discuss your concerns, develop a personalized treatment plan, and determine whether any laboratory testing or additional evaluation is needed. From there, we’ll work together to help you achieve your health goals through thoughtful, evidence-based care.
Do you accept insurance?
No, The Midlife Renewal is a self-pay practice.
Choosing not to contract with insurance allows me to provide the kind of care I believe women deserve.
Insurance often limits the amount of time physicians can spend with patients and may restrict coverage for certain treatments, laboratory testing, or follow-up care. By remaining independent of those constraints, I can focus on providing thoughtful, evidence-based care that’s tailored to you—not to insurance requirements.
While I don’t bill insurance directly, many laboratory tests, imaging studies, and prescriptions may still be covered by your insurance plan. If you’d like, I can also provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
What can I expect during my first visit?
Your initial visit is the longest and is designed to understand the whole picture.
We’ll discuss your current concerns, medical history, medications, lifestyle, and health goals. Depending on your needs, we may review previous records, recommend laboratory testing, and discuss treatment options.
Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that may include hormone therapy, metabolic health strategies, medications, Lifestyle Medicine, or a combination of these approaches. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the next steps and an individualized plan tailored to your needs.
Will I need labwork?
It depends on your individual health history, symptoms, and goals. Many women benefit from laboratory testing as part of their initial evaluation, while others may not need extensive testing.
When lab work is appropriate, I use it thoughtfully to help guide diagnosis and treatment—not as a one-size-fits-all approach. I partner with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics, so you can typically have your blood work performed at a convenient location near you.
Most routine laboratory tests are billed through Labcorp or Quest and may be covered by your health insurance, depending on your individual plan.
How is The Midlife Renewal different from other hormone clinics?
My approach combines conventional medical care with the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, an evidence-based medical specialty that focuses on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of risky substances.
When appropriate, I prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy and medications to help manage menopause symptoms and metabolic health. My recommendations are guided by current medical evidence, shared decision-making, and each patient’s individual needs.
Do you prescribe hormone therapy?
Yes, I prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for carefully selected women.
Treatment is always individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and current evidence. Depending on your needs, hormone therapy may include transdermal (patches, gels, or sprays), oral, or other FDA-approved formulations.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Yes. I prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications when they are medically appropriate and likely to benefit your health.
Not every woman is a good candidate for a GLP-1 medication, and they’re not the only effective option for weight management. If a GLP-1 isn’t the right fit, there are several other FDA-approved medications that may be considered based on your medical history, goals, and preferences.
Do you prescribe compounded hormones?
I primarily prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapy because these medications have been studied for safety, quality, and consistency. Compounded hormones are reserved for select situations when an FDA-approved option is not appropriate or available.
Will you be my primary care physician?
No. The Midlife Renewal is a specialty practice focused on women’s midlife health, including perimenopause, menopause, metabolic health, and healthy aging.
I encourage all patients to maintain an ongoing relationship with a primary care physician for routine preventive care, acute illnesses, and medical concerns outside the scope of my practice. When appropriate, I’m happy to work alongside your gynecologist or primary care physician and other specialists to help coordinate your care.
