Not to film a renovation — not yet. To film the before. My home, as it is right now. The kitchen where I make my coffee every morning. The bathroom where I do my skincare at 10pm when I'm half asleep. The rooms my kids live in. All of it, exactly as it is today.

They interviewed my husband. My designer. My builder. They asked each of them, in different ways, the same question: Why are you doing this?

But before we get into all of that… I owe you that acknowledgment before anything else. My LOA was intentional. I spent the early months of this year sitting with a question I don't slow down long enough to ask — where is my time actually going, and is it going where I want it to?

What I kept landing on is that this newsletter matters to me, and I haven't been treating it that way. The conversations I want to have with you, about longevity, about how we're actually living, about what nobody else is saying, are getting impossible to have anywhere else. Social media flattens nuance. This space can do something different.

So I'm back, more frequently, with a goal of at least twice a month. I want to be straight with you: that's what I have time for right now, and I'd rather show up consistently than promise weekly and disappear again. Radically simplified. What's on my mind. One thing I'm reading or watching or consuming. One thing I'm loving. That's it. And I want to hear from you more. Hit reply anytime. I read every single one.

Now back to what you came for… 👇

I'm about to start a major home renovation. I've been planning it for a long time, longer than most people around me realize. But this isn't just a renovation story. That's not why there's a film crew in my living room.

It's because of something I can't stop seeing in my practice.

I sit across from women every day. Smart, motivated, high-performing women who are doing everything right. They're on the right hormones. They're sleeping. They've cleaned up their nutrition, they're moving, they're supplementing. They're investing real time and real money into their health. And they still don't feel the way they expected to feel.

So I started asking different questions. Not what are you taking, but where are you living?

What's in your water? What kind of light are you sleeping under? What are your walls and floors and furniture off-gassing while you're doing your breathwork on top of them? What does your morning actually look like in your kitchen? Does that space make you want to nourish yourself, or does it make you want to grab a coffee and get out the door? Are your peptides sitting next to your apples on the countertop (like mine are currently!)??

The answers are almost always the same. They've never thought about it. No one has ever asked.

And that's the thing I cannot shake. We have an entire industry telling women what to put in their bodies. Supplements, protocols, prescriptions, biohacks. We have almost no one asking what their bodies are living inside of for the 16, 18, 20 hours a day they're home.

Your home is not a backdrop to your health. It is not neutral. It's the single environment you spend the most time in, and it is either supporting every protocol you're following or quietly undermining it. The air, the water, the light, the sound, the materials, the flow of the space. That's not just interior design. That's health infrastructure. And for most of us, it's completely unexamined.

That's why I'm filming it. And that's why I have something much bigger coming, something I've been building that brings together everything I know as a clinician with everything I'm learning about the spaces we live in.

I have a big project coming your way. I'm not going to spill it all today, but I wanted you to hear it here first, because you've been on this ride with me from the beginning.

More very soon. 💌

A really beautiful, honest personal essay about aging, a cancer diagnosis and the blur of midlife. Peet writes about her experience in a way that feels both intimate and universal — and she does it without shame or disclaimers. Instead, she renders the overlapping textures of grief, medical terror, dark humor, and love with remarkable precision. The piece is a portrait of what it means to hold multiple catastrophes at once, and to keep going anyway
