INTERNAL MEDICINE & WOMEN’S HEALTH
Welcome to Lisa Larkin, MD, & Associates, a Ms.Medicine practice. We are the region’s only Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Concierge Care internal medicine group practice serving men and women (over the age of 16.) By limiting the number of patients in our practice, offering greater access, and providing the time needed to build strong relationships, we’re able to offer a more comprehensive, evidence-based, personalized approach to medicine. Our Ms.Medicine providers have also received advanced training in women’s health, allowing them to provide the gender-specific care many women need for their complex healthcare needs.

More than 80% of women experience hot flashes during menopause. Hot flashes can occur during the day or night and have a range of severity. If you fall into the category of moderate to severe, here are 6 tips to help you find relief:
1. Keep the temperature in your home cool.
2. Reduce stress with yoga, tai chi, meditation, biofeedback, acupuncture & massage.
3. Eliminate hot drinks, hot foods, alcohol, caffeine, and cigarette smoking
4. Wear light, breathable clothing during the day and to bed.
5. Sleep with cooling products, including sprays, gels, and a cool-fabric pillow. Use layered bedding that can be easily removed during the night. Cool down with a bedside fan.
6. When a hot flash is starting, try “paced respiration”—slow, deep, abdominal breathing, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Breathe only 5 to 7 times per minute, much more slowly than usual.
➡️ There are some prescription treatments to help with menopausal symptoms. Talk with your primary care doctor to discuss the best path for you. If you currently are seeking a provider, we are here to advocate for your total wellbeing and provide knowledgeable and personal care. Please reach out to schedule an appointment and learn more about how we can help!

Raise your hand if you know what gender-specific care is. 🙋🏻♀️
Simply put, women are not small men. It’s a well-studied fact that men and women experience many of the same diseases in different ways - for example, heart disease. In addition, there are several health issues that only affect the female gender, such as endometriosis. Some health conditions affect both genders but do so in an inequitable way, afflicting females more than males. Because of these gender differences, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease should also look different.
Gender-specific care is individualized to meet the needs of women and includes comprehensive, integrative care to address the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.
Are you receiving the gender-specific care you deserve?

As we observe this national holiday and its symbolism, it's important to remember we still have so much work to do. Never stop listening to, learning from, advocating for, supporting, and lifting up the black community.
