Physician-Led
Spine &
Whole-Body
Optimization
For perimenopausal and menopausal women with back pain, who are tired of being exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed.
A whole-health, evidence-based functional medicine program to help you look, move, and feel like you used to.
Something Feels Off
Your body didn’t suddenly fall apart.
But it’s no longer responding the way it used to.
The weight that no longer moves
The fatigue that doesn’t make sense
The back pain that limits how you move and live
The sense that your body is no longer predictable
The thought that your hormones may be responsible for this
The frustration of doing everything right...with no clear answers
We Look at Your Full System
Back and neck pain in midlife are rarely just structural.
They are influenced by:
Hormones. Metabolism. Bone/muscle health. Sleep. Nervous system load.
With our Reactivate Method™, we evaluate how all of these are working together, and build a clear, physician-guided plan to restore how your body performs.
You're in the right place.
Not just another wellness plan.
A comprehensive formula, just for you.
Clarity on what’s actually driving your symptoms
A plan that integrates your whole body, not just one system
Expert guidance that connects structure and physiology
A personalized path forward that is specific to your body
That's what we provide.
Most care is fragmented...
We integrate it.
The Reactivate Method™ is led by:

Why We Built Reactivate
We came to this work from two different sides of medicine.
One focused on spine structure and surgery.
The other focused on metabolism, physiology, hormones, and performance.
Over time, we saw the same thing:
Patients with similar conditions had completely different outcomes.
The difference wasn’t just from the structural aspects of the spine. It was physiologic - how the body functioned as a whole.
So we built The Reactivate Method™ to integrate both.
And it changed everything.
