Leah Love, MD
Gynecologist
Dr. Leah Love is a Certified Menopause Practitioner and Board-certified OB/GYN with 20 years of experience. Most of her career has been spent in academic medicine where she won multiple awards in teaching, leadership, and research. Like many doctors, she’s become disenchanted with our medical system, often feeling like she’s putting a band-aid on an illness that was completely preventable. After pursuing additional training, she’s living her dream of preventing and curing illness by integrating physical, mental and spiritual care. Her midlife patients will be unencumbered by the time constraints and limited therapies of corporate sick care.
Where I’m From
- Grew up in a farming and ranching town of 3,000 people
- Learned to drive a combine tractor, harvest wheat and cotton, milk cows (not fun), and source my own food
- Well-rounded upbringing across scholastics, sports, and music — I bet we can find something in common
Why Food Is Medicine to Me
- Raised on a Mediterranean diet with Indigenous home remedies, alongside formal nutrition education
- Discovered food’s power firsthand: became anemic in college from cheap, processed food, and iron supplements didn’t work. Reading up on hormonal effects of food and nutrient absorption, I changed what and how I ate — resolved the anemia and skyrocketed my energy
- Intermittent fasting has since healed old sports injuries and fatty liver
- Teaching others how to prevent and treat illness is one of my favorite parts of the job
A Few Things I Love
- Rescuing dogs, which started in 2009 after an attempted break-in while I was home. I was going through IVF at the time, so they ended up rescuing me
- My pit bull, Athena, died of cancer last year — excited to see who the universe brings me next
- Mission work — on a recent trip to Guatemala, I learned the difference between gallina (hen) and pollo (chicken): “Pollo is what they serve Americans at KFC. We don’t eat that in Guatemala.”
Off the Clock
- Time with friends, mentoring young adults, growing and propagating plants, painting old furniture, documentaries and Sci-Fi, dog sitting
- Currently learning: belly dancing, holding a handstand in yoga, more Spanish
