    Why so many women are using creatine (including me)

    Robin

    Women naturally store 20–30% less creatine than men.  At 44, I’m calling this my Year of the Booty—aka time to prioritize building lean muscle mass. Creatine is on my shortlist of tools to help. Turns out, the old-school gym bros were onto something—just not the whole story. Creatine does a…

    Should we all be microdosing GLP-1?

    Robin

    Just when we thought the obsession had died down, GLP-1s are in the news again. 98 million Americans have prediabetes (and 80% don’t know it). No wonder everyone is talking about microdosing GLP-1 and a recent Wall Street Journal article is calling for putting GLP-1s in the water.  🤓 What to…

    Plus, the reason I stopped getting botox and the best thing you can do for your metabolic health. Did you know that you have a signature breathing pattern akin to your fingerprint that can be used to identify you with 96.8% accuracy? We are how we breathe, according to a…

    Plus, a new reason to try a keto diet and my favorite at-home HIIT workouts. It’s summer and it feels like everyone is installing a cold plunge in their backyard or basement spa. As someone who is obsessed with my in-home sauna but despises being cold, I usually feel a…

    Last week I co-hosted an event for New York’s YPO Women on female longevity at the Parsley Health center in NYC along with two brilliant speakers: nutrition expert JJ Virgin, and Melanie Goldey, CEO of Tally Health.  It was exactly the kind of event I live for: a room full…

    Is “fibermaxxing” the key to slowing aging?

    Robin

    I don’t normally advise taking medical advice from TikTok but sometimes the algorithm gets it right and boosts a tip with actual evidence behind it—like “fibermaxxing.”  Don’t let the name turn you off. Fiber is a macronutrient with extensive research behind it, something that makes it unique in the grand…

    I have a new mantra: healthier than ever.  At age 43, I refuse to believe that my healthiest years are behind me, because I know they don’t have to be. My goal is to make my next 10 years even healthier and more vital than my last decade. Because as…

  • My personal supplement stack.

    •

    Robin

    I get asked so often from people if the supplements they are taking are legit, I feel like I should set up a roadside stand with a sign that says: “Will evaluate your supplement stack for $10K.” Always good to have a backup plan, right? 😉  I also get asked…

  • Are plant-based meats just ultraprocessed food in disguise?

    •

    Robin

    Beware the health halo.  Often, friends and patients are shocked when they find out a food billed as healthy contains sneaky harmful additives, or isn’t actually all that nutritive. In this vein, I get a lot of questions about plant-based meats. Are they good for you or are they just…

  • My cervical cancer scare

    •

    Robin

    Does the cure for UTIs, HPV, and BV lie in the microbiome? In my 20s, a routine pap test diagnosed abnormal cells. That led to a biopsy of my cervix called a colposcopy, which revealed I had CIN3, or “severely abnormal” precancerous cells. I was lucky to catch it while…
