Speaking · Advisory · Vol. 03
On the future of AI in clinical care — and why the patients being left behind should matter to the founders building it.
I speak, write, and advise on the ethical integration of AI into functional and integrative medicine. After twenty-seven years in clinical practice, my work sits at the intersection of evidence-based root-cause care and the tools we now have to deliver it at scale — without losing the patient in the process.
§ Topics
What I'm most often asked to speak on.
Talks can be tuned to clinical, founder, investor, or general audiences. I work in keynotes, fireside chats, workshops, podcast guesting, and expert panels. I deliver remote and in-person.
Talk 01
AI in Clinical Care, Ethically
How functional medicine clinics can integrate LLMs and decision-support without flattening individualized care, eroding clinician judgment, or compromising patient trust.
Talk 02
The Functional Medicine Operating System
A clinical framework for treating root cause across gut, hormones, and metabolic health — and how to scale it without losing rigor.
Talk 03
The Reverse-Age Method
Perimenopause as the most significant inflection point in a woman's health, and the protocols that make the next decade better than the last.
Talk 04
Microbiome as Foundation
Why nearly every chronic condition I see has a gut component upstream — and what the latest stool-testing data is telling us.
Talk 05
Hormonal Medicine for the Modern Clinician
Reading DUTCH, full thyroid panels, and cycle data to build protocols that actually work for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Talk 06
Founders Should Talk to Clinicians First
A clinician's honest review of what the current crop of women's-health startups is getting right — and very, very wrong.

§ Advisory work
For founders building the next thoughtful generation of women's health.
I work with a small number of seed and Series A health-tech and AI-in-health companies as a clinical advisor. My value is honest translation of the clinical reality vs. what real patients actually need — and which features are going to age poorly.
Inquire about advisory →Product strategy, clinical workflow design, evidence review, regulatory framing.
Recurring sessions with founding teams — bring me your roadmap, your pitch, your hardest decisions.
Co-authoring clinical content, writing position papers, or appearing as a clinical voice.
Independent clinical assessment for funds underwriting women's health, GI, or hormonal-medicine startups.
A note on ethics
I do not advise companies whose products I would not be comfortable recommending to my own patients. I disclose advisory relationships publicly and decline anything that would compromise clinical independence.
