When the usual answers are not enough.

For women who know something has changed, even when they’ve been told their labs are “normal.”
Buoy Healthcare looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand the full pattern. We curate a plan around your biology, your goals, and the realities of your daily life.
Perimenopause & Menopause Evaluation
Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, mood, temperature regulation, metabolism, libido, skin, hair, joints, and overall quality of life. Shelley evaluates symptoms, health history, risk factors, labs when appropriate, and treatment options to help patients understand what is changing and what can be done thoughtfully.
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause & Midlife Sexual Health
Vaginal dryness, pain with sex, urinary changes, recurrent irritation, and low desire are common in midlife, but often under-discussed. Shelley provides evidence-informed care for genitourinary syndrome of menopause and sexual health concerns, with attention to comfort, function, intimacy, and quality of life.
Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause & Bone Health
Many women notice new joint pain, stiffness, muscle loss, tendon issues, or changes in strength during perimenopause and menopause. Shelley evaluates these concerns with attention to hormones, inflammation, activity, nutrition, recovery, and bone health to help protect mobility, strength, and long-term function.When appropriate and desired by the patient, Shelley can collaborate with Dr. Davidson for added orthopedic and musculoskeletal perspective, particularly when pain, injury history, mobility changes, or bone health concerns need a deeper structural lens.
Cardiometabolic Health in Midlife
Midlife can bring changes in cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin resistance, abdominal weight, energy, and cardiovascular risk. Shelley helps patients evaluate cardiometabolic health through a personalized lens, connecting symptoms, labs, body composition, lifestyle, hormone changes, and long-term prevention into a practical care plan.
Surgical & Early Menopause Care
Surgical menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency, and early menopause can create abrupt changes in symptoms, sexual health, bone health, metabolism, mood, and long-term risk. Shelley provides careful evaluation and treatment planning for patients who need informed support around hormone health, symptom relief, monitoring, and prevention.
Mental Load & Parental Burnout
Midlife often carries the weight of caregiving, work, household management, relationship strain, and invisible labor. Shelley supports patients experiencing mental load or parental burnout with practical strategies that consider stress physiology, sleep, boundaries, recovery, and the realities of daily life.
Midlife Nutrition Coaching
Nutrition in midlife is not about another restrictive plan. Shelley combines medical insight with Precision Nutrition coaching to help patients support energy, muscle, metabolic health, body composition, blood sugar, cardiovascular risk, and sustainable habits that fit real life.

Dr. Davidson's Range of Services

You are not imagining it. You deserve better care.

Adjunctive Therapies
Adjunctive therapies may include advanced diagnostics, technology-supported tools, or supportive interventions when they are clinically appropriate. Dr. Davidson uses a discerning, physician-guided approach, considering medical history, goals, safety, evidence, quality, and monitoring needs before recommending anything beyond the core care plan.
Inflammation & Metabolic Health
When the body is under ongoing strain, recovery can become slower and less predictable. Dr. Davidson evaluates the clinical and lifestyle factors that influence inflammation, metabolic health, fatigue, pain flares, exercise tolerance, and recovery capacity, then builds a plan to support better function over time.
Nervous System Regulation
Chronic stress can change sleep, pain sensitivity, inflammation, energy, and recovery long before people connect the dots. Dr. Davidson helps patients understand stress physiology and build practical regulation strategies using breathwork, cognitive and body-based skills, recovery metrics, and selected technology-supported tools when appropriate.
Post-Oncology Recovery & Survivorship Support
After cancer treatment or serious illness, many patients need help rebuilding strength, mobility, stamina, and trust in their bodies. With a background in musculoskeletal oncology, Dr. Davidson offers physician-led post-oncology recovery support focused on fatigue, bone health, pain, deconditioning, recovery capacity, and coordination with the patient’s oncology team when needed.
Active Aging
Active aging means preserving strength, mobility, independence, clarity, and confidence as you move through midlife and beyond. Dr. Davidson helps patients think proactively about musculoskeletal health, recovery, nervous system balance, metabolic resilience, and long-term function so they can remain capable and engaged.
Injury Recovery & Return to Activity
Recovery is not only about healing tissue, it is about returning to the life you want with confidence. Dr. Davidson helps patients recovering from injury, surgery, overuse, or physical setbacks create a thoughtful return-to-activity plan that considers orthopedic findings, rehabilitation, sleep, stress, inflammation, conditioning, and recovery capacity.
Musculoskeletal Health
Movement affects how you age, recover, work, travel, and stay engaged in daily life. Dr. Davidson evaluates joints, spine, strength, mobility, pain patterns, prior injuries, and activity demands through an orthopedic lens to help identify what is limiting function and how to move with greater confidence.
