We’re proud to share that Dr. Michelle Dees, board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Luxury Psychiatry Clinic, has been featured once again in Vogue—this time in a January 2026 first-person review exploring Exomind, an FDA-cleared neuromodulation treatment for perimenopausal brain fog and anxiety.
In the article, “I Tried the New FDA-Approved Treatment for Perimenopausal Brain Fog and Anxiety—Here’s How I Feel Now,” Vogue beauty contributor Jenny Berg documents her experience with Exomind, a treatment that has also drawn attention from wellness advocates like Gwyneth Paltrow, who has openly shared her curiosity about non-medication approaches for perimenopause-related symptoms.
Dr. Dees is featured in the piece as a leading expert voice, offering clinical insight as a Principal Investigator for the 2024–2025 BTL Exomind Mental Wellness Study.
How Exomind Supports Brain Health During Perimenopause
Perimenopause can affect far more than hormones—it often disrupts mood, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation. As Dr. Dees explains in Vogue, Exomind is a form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) that targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a region critical for mood regulation, cognition, and executive function.
Through gentle electromagnetic pulses, Exomind promotes neuroplasticity, helping rebalance key neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—systems commonly affected during midlife transitions. The result, for many patients, is improved clarity, reduced anxiety, and greater emotional resilience without the need for medication changes.
A Modern, Non-Medication Approach to Mental Wellness
As highlighted in Vogue, Exomind offers a compelling option for individuals seeking relief from brain fog, anxiety, and low mood—particularly those who haven’t tolerated or benefited from medication alone. Clinical findings from the BTL Exomind Mental Wellness Study showed improvements in mood, sleep quality, motivation, and focus, especially among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
At Luxury Psychiatry Clinic, Exomind is thoughtfully integrated into comprehensive psychiatric care that may also include psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle-based mental wellness support.
Continuing the Conversation: Dr. Dees’s Previous Vogue Feature
This marks Dr. Dees’s second feature in Vogue, following her July 2025 appearance in “The Supplements You Should Try If You’re Going Through Menopause.” In that article, she shared expert guidance on nutritional support, hormonal mental health, and emerging treatments for menopause-related mood changes.
