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.

This month is so important to all of us at Lisa Larkin, MD, and Associates. October is #BreastCancerAwareness Month and as many of you know, our CEO and Founder @drlarkin is a breast cancer survivor.
Prevention is our passion, and we are so glad you’re here to get informed, be empowered, and stay proactive about your health.
For breast cancer prevention, research supports the following:
🎀 eating a mainly plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet
🎀 limiting alcohol consumption to 3 drinks per week
🎀 getting regular exercise
🎀 maintaining an ideal body weight

Osteoporosis—like Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, migraine, and other conditions—impacts women at a much greater rate than men.

After age 30, we begin to lose bone density and for women, slower estrogen production after menopause can slow bone development. This is why we recommend bone density screenings for women over 65.
Don’t wait for a fall or an injury— let’s learn your bone density score so that we can best protect your skeleton.

Happy World Menopause Day!

We believe that aging is not only normal but a tremendous GIFT. So why should menopause, a normal part of the aging process, carry a stigma?
Together, we can remove that label. Rather than hiding behind a veil of silence or shame, let’s commit to using our superpowers— our voices— to raise awareness and uplift one another.
Because menopause looks different for every woman, we offer Menopause Consultations with a certified @menopause_society practitioner. Sure, symptoms can be unpleasant, but they are highly treatable. Don’t suffer in silence. It’s a new day. Learn more about our consultations at the link in our bio.
