Sleep is one of the most important factors contributing to your health. 🤍

Inadequate sleep is linked to increased cardiovascular risk, impaired glucose regulation, hormonal disruption, inflammation, and decreased immune function. Many symptoms patients experience including fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and headaches are often due to lack of sleep.

At TullyMD, we talk about sleep as part of our comprehensive care. We inform our patients why it matters for their bodies, what may be interfering with their sleep, and practical, evidence-based ways to improve sleep quality and duration.

If you are tired all the time, overwhelmed, run-down, or not feeling like yourself, schedule an appointment at TullyMD and let us help support you in your overall health!

Wishing you a joyful and healthy holiday season! As we close out the year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my patients for allowing TullyMD to be part of their health journey. I look forward to walking alongside you in the new year as we continue prioritizing your wellness. 

To my colleagues, thank you so much for helping me care for such amazing women. 

May this season bring you all peace, warmth, and moments of rest.

With appreciation,

🎄 Holiday Guilt: What’s Really Happening and Why Now Is the Time to Prioritize Your Health 🎄

So many women feel holiday guilt…guilt about food choices, missed workouts, feeling overwhelmed, or not keeping up with routines. But from a medical standpoint, the guilt and stress themselves are far more harmful than a few days of celebration.

Here’s what’s actually going on in your body:
1️⃣ Your body is built to adapt, not break.
Short-term changes don’t undo your metabolism or hormones. Health is created through long-term habits, not holiday perfection.
2️⃣ Stress + guilt disrupt your physiology.
Increased cortisol affects sleep, cravings, inflammation, and mood.
Joy, rest, and connection actively support your nervous system and hormonal health.
3️⃣ Restriction creates the guilt-overeat cycle.
Labeling foods as “good” or “bad” increases guilt and dysregulates metabolism.
A non-restrictive approach helps stabilize hormones and eating patterns.
4️⃣ Rest is essential, not optional.
Recovery supports immunity, adrenal health, and emotional well-being, especially during a demanding season.

✨ Where TullyMD Comes In
My concierge model is built around one philosophy:
Your health deserves to be a priority, not an afterthought.
For many women, the holidays highlight how far down the list their health has fallen and it becomes the perfect time to catch up, reset, and finally put themselves first.

At TullyMD, that means:
• Thorough evaluations of hormones, metabolism, stress, and sleep
• Longer, unrushed visits to truly understand your health
• Personalized plans that fit your real life, including busy seasons
• Support that focuses on compassion and evidence, not guilt
• A whole-person approach that helps you feel grounded heading into a new year

💛 If you’ve been putting your health off, this season can be the moment you shift from guilt to empowerment.

Your body is resilient and you deserve care that reflects that!

✨ A gentle reminder from TullyMD ✨

As we head into the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to check in on your health, your wellbeing, and the care you’ve been putting off.
Many patients don’t realize that FSA/HSA dollars often expire or reset at the end of the year. 

Did you know that roughly 44–48% of workers with FSAs forfeit at least part of their contributions in a given year.  And on average, people who forfeit lose about $339–$408 per year. 

If you’ve been thinking about booking a visit, updating your labs, starting a new treatment, or finally getting answers about your symptoms… this is your sign.

At TullyMD, our focus is on comprehensive, compassionate, women-centered care, making sure your health never falls through the cracks. 💛

Your wellness matters, and you deserve time, space, and support to care for yourself.
✨ Use your FSA/HSA benefits before they expire
✨ Schedule your preventive or follow-up visit
✨ Invest in your health now. Your future self will thank you!

Visit www.tullymd.com or call (201) 241-2626 to learn more or schedule your appointment. You’re worth the care!
Postpartum Myth-Busting! 

The fourth trimester is full of surprises, and it comes with its share of myths too. Let’s set the record straight:
1. Breastfeeding isn’t instinctive for everyone. There’s a learning curve. It’s stressful at the start, middle and end. And it’s ok to as for help if you wonder this if this is the best option for you and your baby. 
2. Your postpartum journey won’t look like anyone else’s, healing is unique, non-linear, and personal.
3. Struggling doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful. Postpartum pain and mental health challenges are real, valid and all too common.

At TullyMD, we support new moms with personalized care, guidance, and a safe space to navigate this season. You don’t have to do it alone. 💛 You deserve support every step of the way. 

For personalized postpartum support, contact me at TullyMD, (201) 241-2626 or see more information at www.TullyMD.com to learn about how I support moms in this new stage of life.

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

This season reminds us of the importance of gratitude, connection, and caring for ourselves and one another. I am deeply thankful for my incredible patients who trust me with their health, and who have been able to experience what personalized, compassionate care can look like.

Whether you are traveling, gathering with loved ones, or enjoying a quieter celebration, I hope you find moments of joy, rest, and nourishment. Please remember to give yourself grace. Prioritizing your wellbeing, both mentally, and physically, is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give yourself.

To my current patients: thank you for allowing me to be part of your health journey. It is truly an honor. And to those who are not yet part of TullyMD but are interested in learning more about concierge care and how it can support your health, you can visit www.tullymd.com or call (201) 241-2626 to schedule a free consultation.

Wishing you a warm, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,

Caring for your kids while caring for your parents is a beautiful act of love… but it can also be overwhelming.

If you’re part of the sandwich generation, you know how easy it is for your own health to slip to the bottom of the list.

That’s why having routine preventative care, urgent evaluations when you need them, and flexible, convenient medical support is essential, not optional.

At TullyMD Concierge Medicine, I help guide you through this demanding chapter with:
✨ Whole-person care
✨ Emotional and stress support
✨ Proactive health planning
✨ Time to truly focus on YOU
✨ The convenience and access you need to stay well

You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Your wellness matters just as much as the care you give to the people you love. 💛

🍁 It’s fall! And you know what that means… open enrollment season is here!

As you review your insurance options, this is the perfect time to make sure your plan aligns with your health goals, especially if you’re considering concierge OB/GYN care.

✨ Here’s what many people don’t realize:
Concierge medicine may be more attainable than you think. If you’re choosing a plan, look for one with out-of-network benefits. PPOs plans often offer the flexibility for your health care needs.

💳 And if you have an HSA or FSA, those pre-tax dollars can help cover eligible medical expenses like labs, ultrasounds, and certain procedures, making personalized care even more accessible.

At TullyMD Concierge Medicine, we believe healthcare should feel personal, proactive, and centered around you.Choosing the right plan now means year-round access to the care you deserve.

💛 Have questions about insurance, HSAs, or how concierge care fits into your coverage? We’re here to help you navigate it all, so you can focus on what really matters: your health and peace of mind.

PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women in the US. Why is it that even though so many women are affected with PCOS, so many suffer with symptoms for years without a diagnosis? It can cause very difficult symptoms for women, from irregular periods and acne, to weight changes. Very often, women with PCOS suffer from depression and anxiety as well. Often, the most devastating can be struggles with fertility.

At TullyMD, we offer compassionate, personalized care to help you understand your body and manage your PCOS with confidence.

Make an appointment today to learn more about how TullyMD can help you understand your hormones and make the best of your health!

🌸💫 World Menopause Day 💫🌸

Today we’re shining a light on a stage of life that every woman experiences, yet too often, it’s misunderstood or ignored.

Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes. It can bring brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, weight changes, joint pain, vaginal dryness, and mood shifts. These symptoms that can affect every part of a woman’s life.

🔹 85% of women will experience menopause symptoms.�
🔹 Every day, 6,000 women in the U.S. enter menopause.�
🔹 Fewer than 20% of OB/GYN residency programs offer menopause training. It is estimated that in the US, there are less than 2000 menopause certified providers. This means that many women can’t find qualified providers who truly understand their needs.
That has to change.�

Women deserve to be heard, believed, and supported through every stage of midlife. 

You are not “just aging.” You are evolving and you deserve care that evolves with you. 🌷

At TullyMD Women’s Health Concierge Medicine, we specialize in personalized, evidence-based care for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.�We take the time to listen, explain, and partner with you, so you can feel like yourself again!

💗 Prioritize your health.�
💗 Be your own advocate.�
💗 Put yourself first, because you matter!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Breast cancer touches so many of us — our patients, families, and friends. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. during their lifetime. Every two minutes, someone is diagnosed with breast cancer. We also forget that it can affect men as well. 

Early detection truly saves lives. The five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer is about 99%.

At TullyMD, we believe that awareness and prevention save lives. I encourage every woman to stay proactive. Take time to schedule your mammogram, know your family history, and speak up about any breast changes you notice. Your health and peace of mind matter.

This month, we honor those who have fought, those still fighting, and those we’ve lost. 💗 Let’s continue to raise awareness, support one another, and keep the conversation going — not just in October, but all year long. 💕

Bring your questions (and your friends!) for an open, informative discussion. Can’t wait to see you there! 💛

What an incredible weekend in Chicago at the ISSVD Conference! For those of you who never heard of this group, it is the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease.

I had the privilege of learning from leading experts, diving into the latest research, and connecting with brilliant colleagues all dedicated to advancing women’s health. The energy, the knowledge, and the passion in every session were truly inspiring.

Feeling grateful to be part of a community that is pushing the boundaries of education, research, and care for women everywhere.
