Welcome to AVB NP — where women’s hormones, health, and wellness are explained without the confusion.
I’m Anika Van Boerum, FNP-C, and I’m passionate about helping women better understand their hormones and how they influence everything from menstrual cycles and perimenopause to menopause, energy, sleep, body composition, and overall health.
Here you’ll find straightforward, evidence-informed education on women’s health, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause, menopause, menstrual cycles, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and more.
My goal is simple: to help you understand what’s happening in your body so you can have better conversations with your healthcare provider and make informed decisions about your health.

For years, I thought hormones were something that only really mattered when you were having “hormonal” symptoms—like mood swings or PMS.
The truth?
Your hormones are changing every single day throughout your cycle.
Those changes influence:✨ Your energy✨ Your mood✨ Your sleep✨ Your hunger✨ Your workouts✨ Your focus✨ Even your confidence
And yet, most of us were never taught what those changes actually mean.
My goal isn’t to make hormones feel overwhelming.
It’s to make them make sense.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll walk through each phase of the menstrual cycle together in a way that’s simple, practical, and easy to understand.
Because the more you understand your body, the less you have to fight against it.

You’re this close to understanding what your hormones have been trying to tell you. 🤍
You deserve answers, not just “everything looks normal.”

Think cholesterol = bad? Not quite. 👀
Your body needs cholesterol, but how much you have and what type matters.
Consider this your cholesterol refresher. Save it for later 🤎
