Her bestselling book, Radiance: The Essential Guide to Living in Sync with Your Cycle, published by Planeta, has gained global attention and has become the must-have guide redefining the modern standard of women’s health. Lola shares her unique approach to women’s wellness and leadership with audiences worldwide, advising companies and delivering corporate workshops and private trainings that highlight the power of cyclical living and the benefits of integrating it into every aspect of personal and professional life. Lola’s Mission For years, Lola lived disconnected from her body — constantly doing, producing, and pushing for more, while silently struggling with symptoms her body was begging her to listen to: acne, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, low libido, and a deep sense that something wasn’t right. She tried countless “solutions” that only masked the problem — until she discovered a radically different way of living: in harmony with her cycle, her energy, and her natural rhythm. From that transformation, Radiance was born — first as Lola’s personal journey, and now as a growing movement. Through her book, podcast, and flagship programs, Lola’s mission is to help women reconnect with their bodies, embrace their cyclical nature, and unlock the power that already lives within them, so they can feel radiant, fulfilled, and limitless in every area of their lives. Your cycle is your superpower.

Because each individual is unique, she values the collaborative process of creating shared care plans that are medically sound, enhance quality of life, and honor personal values and preferences. She is committed to delivering evidence-based medicine and thoughtfully leveraging innovations in medical technology and research to provide comprehensive, team-based care. Above all, she strives to build long-lasting, meaningful relationships with every patient she serves.

Dr. To discovered her passion for primary care and medicine as an undergraduate at Stanford University, where she served as a Clinic Manager at Pacific Free Clinic, caring for uninsured patients. A study-abroad term at the University of Oxford ignited an interest in innovative care delivery and health policy through comparative analysis of U.S. and U.K. health systems. After graduating with Honors from Stanford, where she conducted research at the Stanford Cancer Center on advanced detection methods for early-stage cancers, she attended the University of Colorado School of Medicine. There, she co-founded the D.A.W.N. Free Clinic, an interprofessional, student-run clinic providing essential primary care services to uninsured residents of Aurora, Colorado. She returned to California for internal medicine residency at UCSF in the UCPC Primary Care track and Health Systems Leadership pathway, receiving specialized training in primary care, healthcare systems improvement, health policy, geriatrics, palliative care, and housecalls/home-based medicine.

When that mentor retired, she entrusted Dr. Kassis with her practice, giving Dr. Kassis the opportunity to care for thousands of women navigating midlife and menopause.

I am the founder of the award-winning Menopause Vitamin Company and Menopause Support Suffolk and a Menopause Wellness Practitioner. In my 50s, after a long career in hotel events and sales, I faced my own challenging experience of perimenopause. It was overwhelming and isolating, and I realised there was very little support available for women. That experience inspired me to make a change, for myself and for others. I created Vibrancy Blend, a premium UK-made all in one menopause supplement developed with a nutritionist to support women’s overall wellbeing in just two capsules a day. Born from experience, I wanted something premium, backed by science, effective without the confusion, expense, or overwhelm of multiple supplements. To extend my support beyond the supplement, I retrained as a Menopause Wellness Practitioner. I now provide private one-to-one support, workplace wellbeing, events, and guest speaking, helping women understand their bodies, feel confident, and know when to seek medical advice. "So many women say to me, 'I just want to feel like me again.' I tell them, why go back when you can become an even better version of yourself" I have been named as one of the Top 100 UK Female Entrepreneurs for F Entrepreneur and #iAlso, initiatives run by Small Business Britain and highly commended for Innovation at the Suffolk Small Business Awards
