Additional services include naturopathy, acupuncture, massage, and IV therapy.
Why do women live longer than men? Does the ability to bear children play a role and to what extent do evolutionary forces discriminate between men and women?
In this in-depth interview Dr. Gersh explains why she “had to unlearn” about half of everything she learned at medical school calls for a fundamental “shake-up” in the delivery of health care.
Dr Gersh is an AMAZING Doctor. She has extensive knowledge in many fields and is STILL always learning. I don’t know how she does it! I have been working as an independent contractor of Medical Massage in her office for over a decade.
Dr. Gersh is an absolutely extraordinary doctor and human. Even though all my visits to her haven’t been for happy reasons, she absolutely has put all my worries at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and is ready and willing to run the tests necessary to find out the root cause of any issue.
Dr. Gersh has been my primary care doctor for over twenty years. I have always found her to be interested, caring, and concerned about my health. She takes the extra time to spend with you, to find out how your life is in relation to how your health is.
I trust Dr. Gersh to give me a complete holistic exam and consultation. Dr. Gersh interprets the data from all the blood testing and makes adjustments to my diet and prescriptions. I am involved in two clinical trials of the Women’s Health Initiative and take my Healthy Aging seriously.

It’s the last day of Sexual Health Awareness Month, and I want to talk about an important topic: closing the pleasure gap.
The pleasure gap refers to the difference in sexual satisfaction often experienced by women compared to men. Although it’s not a contest, I think the gap is indicative of room to grow in terms of women’s intimate wellness. And I believe that closing this gap starts with women understanding our own bodies and needs. Because intimate wellness isn’t just about intercourse — it’s about building awareness, trust, and communication, both with ourselves and in our relationships.
By focusing on our intimate health, we can enhance our physical well-being, reduce stress, and build confidence in our intimate lives. It’s about connecting with ourselves first, which leads to stronger, healthier relationships.
One tool I recommend for supporting intimate health is the plusOne Vibrating Bullet. It’s designed to help women explore their bodies, maintain pelvic health, and experience relaxation and pleasure. Whether you’re solo or with a partner, understanding your body is empowering and essential for overall wellness.
Let’s work together to close the pleasure gap by promoting trust, self-care, and intimacy with ourselves. For more tips on supporting your intimate wellness, follow @_myplusone and check out the plusOne Wellness Collective. Take care of yourself and your sexual health—it’s all connected!

I had an incredible weekend in Las Angeles as part of the A4M’s conferences on hormones. It was a whirlwind of fun and education.
Overall, I gave 3 lectures and participated in a panel discussion at the A4M conferences held at the Marriott Live Hotel in Las Angeles. The A4M held several conferences simultaneously, and I spoke for two of them.
I had a 2 hour presentation for the BHRT CONFERENCE (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy). My topic was on Androgen disorders of women. I also gave 2 - 90 minute lectures for the A4M Annual Fertility Conference. One was on PCOS and Infertility and the other was on Uterine Fibroids, Endometriosis, and Adenomyosis and Infertility. The panel was on various infertility issues.
Thanks to @redefiningmedicine for hosting. And to all my friends and colleagues, it was great seeing you!!!

Have you used a menopause test kit? Did you find it useful?
I was happy to contribute to this article on the best menopause test kits. In general, I think information is empowering but I also worry about products that seek to fill the gaps in women`s healthcare (there are a lot!) but without providing meaningful value. And I especially worry about products that may lead women to self diagnose and self treat and possibly miss an important diagnosis or more evidence-based (and insurance-covered) treatments.
What do you think about menopause test kits? Let me know!

Dr Gersh discusses issues of the perimenopause - what it is and how to deal with it
Menopause does not cause testosterone levels to drop. In menopause, the ovaries stop producing estradiol and progesterone, but they continue producing testosterone for the life of the women.
Many women will experience a slow decline in testosterone levels due to aging, and many of them will benefit from testosterone supplementation. But this is not universal. In fact, some women experience an increase in active, unbound testosterone and experience symptoms of androgen excess, including acne, hair thinning, and unwanted facial hair.
This is why giving or not giving testosterone in menopause is so highly individualistic.
To learn more, please check out my talk,
Testosterone: Do you need it? For women in menopause, it’s complicated.
