Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Dr. Lenora Epple, an Internal Medicine physician, writer, and founder of Focused Health & Wellness in Jefferson City, Missouri.

​

After more than two decades in medicine, I still believe one of the most important things a physician can do is help people understand their own health. I created this blog to make reliable medical information approachable, engaging, and genuinely useful in real life—because health can be serious without health education being intimidating or dull.

​

Here, I write about hormone health, nutrition, metabolism, preventive care, healthy aging, and the everyday concerns that leave many people wondering, Is this normal, and what can I do about it? I also occasionally explore community, relationships, food, and the many ways our lives influence our health.

​

My goal is to help you understand your body, ask better questions, and feel more confident making decisions about your care. And if you are looking for a physician who will take the time to listen, look at the whole picture, and build a plan around what matters to you, I would be honored to help.

​

I also enjoy speaking to community groups, workplaces, and professional organizations about health, healthy aging, nutrition, prevention, and practical ways to feel and function better.
