About Our Guest
Known as “Dr. K,” Dr. Kourtney Sims is a practicing double board certified gynecologist specializing in menopause care. Dr. K is also an expert in functional medicine and the use of phytotherapy to treat medical conditions. She is committed to listening to patients first, to ensure she deeply understands their needs, and tailors treatment plans to the individual. Part of the reason she was drawn to specializing in menopause was seeing how women were unnecessarily suffering through years of symptoms after being dismissed by providers who didn’t have the expertise to help them.
