Martha has over 6 years of Worldlink conference attendance, specifically geared toward BHRT and PRP procedures from masters in the field. Her journey with hormone replacement began years ago when she started experiencing symptoms common to perimenopausal women. Frustrated with the modern medical approach, she moved out of practice in cardiovascular surgery and emergency medicine, and into functional medicine. The migration toward a patient-centered approach addresses the root causes of disease instead of symptom management, and promotes wellness and sustainable lifelong health. Martha was an aerobics instructor for 25 years, and offers insights into how the body is made to move, and creative ways to work around individual limitations. She partners with a functional nutritionist for those who need additional education and assistance in selecting and preparing whole, nutrient-dense foods for themselves and their busy lifestyles. It is difficult to get all of the essential elements, minerals and nutritives that we need from food alone, and your journey will include recommendations for high quality supplements to aid in looking and feeling your best.​
