Speaking

I speak on topics at the intersection of women’s health, metabolic medicine, and healthcare systems reform. While these subjects may seem distinct, they’re deeply interconnected – and addressing one means addressing the others.

My approach combines clinical expertise with storytelling. I use patient narratives and lived experience to make complex biology accessible, then connect individual health to the systems that shape it.

I can deliver data-driven presentations for medical audiences, but my strength is translating research into frameworks that help diverse audiences see problems from new perspectives – whether that’s benefits leaders rethinking wellness strategy, executives understanding workforce health, or women navigating their own transitions.

My talks challenge assumptions, reframe familiar problems, and leave audiences with both insight and action.

Health ≠ Morality

Why shame-based health narratives cost talent, performance, and trust.

Examining how moral framing of health, especially around weight and aging, creates cultures of silence, burnout, and disengagement – and what to do instead. This talk unpacks the hidden costs of treating health as a character test, explores the biology of shame and stress, and offers a framework for redesigning organizational culture around metabolic resilience rather than moral judgment.

Ideal for: Leadership teams, HR executives, DEI initiatives

Rewriting the Rules of Midlife Health

How women aren’t failing – the systems that support them are.

Midlife women are your most experienced, highest-value talent. They’re also leaving at record rates. This talk examines what’s broken in our healthcare, workplace, and cultural systems – and how to redesign them. From medical protocols designed for men to benefits that ignore hormonal transitions to workplace cultures that penalize recovery – this keynote connects the dots between biology, burnout, and organizational design.

Ideal for: Benefits leaders, executive retreats, women’s leadership events

Designing for Strength

Why metabolic health is the missing link in organizational performance and culture design.

From GLP-1 coverage decisions to meeting schedules to leadership modeling – how understanding metabolic and hormonal health transforms organizational strategy. This talk bridges biology and business, showing how companies can shift from reactive wellness programs to proactive culture design that builds resilience, performance, and retention.

Ideal for: C-suite, benefits committees, organizational development

My Approach

Evidence-Based

Every talk is grounded in current research, delivered without academic jargon.

I translate complex science into clear frameworks that audiences can immediately apply.

Story-Driven

I use patient stories and lived experience to make complex concepts relatable and memorable.

Data informs the framework, but stories make it stick.

Action-Oriented

Audiences leave with practical frameworks and tools they can apply immediately.

I offer more than inspiration – focusing on actual strategies that can be implemented easily.
