About

In the ER, I saw the consequences of care that too often managed symptoms without investigating why they were happening in the first place. Men were handed ED medications without a meaningful evaluation. Women with recurrent UTIs, dryness and various hormonal symptoms were disregarded by their doctors, and the underlying problems went unrecognized.

Too often, patients arrived in the ER because of the side effects, complications and infections that followed care that had never truly addressed the problem.

That frustration led me to create Bawa Medical and, ultimately, The Bawa Method™—a more complete approach designed to identify root causes, restore function and protect SexSpan™. It also led me to create DSF.me, extending that same philosophy beyond the office with U.S.-made supplements built around high-quality ingredients I personally selected for purpose and impact. Today people travel to us from across the United States and around the world, and DSF.me supplements are shipped globally.

My perspective deepened when my own breast cancer was finally diagnosed after more than three and a half years of misdiagnosis. I underwent chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy. One month later, I stepped onto the Ms. Florida stage with short hair, no wig and at the heaviest weight I had ever been. I won Ms. Florida 2021, but the title was never the point. The message was. Cancer may change you, but it does not have to diminish you.

My work has always been about more than what happens inside the exam room. Through television interviews, magazine features, online articles, TEDx and public speaking, I bring conversations about sexual health, cancer misdiagnosis, survivorship, hormones, aging and wellness to a much broader audience.

Whether I am talking about sexual function, hormones, relationships, surviving cancer or SexSpan™, I want people to expect more from their health—and never let a diagnosis, a symptom or a setback define the life they are capable of living.
