Thyroid, weight and metabolism

Metabolism is complex and requires a detailed look into thyroid function, blood sugar management, cardiovascular health, cortisol regulation and nutrition. When we understand and address the components contributing to your metabolic picture, we can create a targeted plan to support your energy, sleep, weight loss and overall health.

Fertility Support and Pregnancy Care

Your health and wellness, as well as that of your partner, impacts your chances of conceiving and the health of your future baby. Through a comprehensive fertility-focused intake and laboratory testing, we can put a plan in place to enhance your fertility, whether you’re just beginning to consider pregnancy, have been trying to conceive for a long time, or are working with a fertility clinic. Together we create a plan that leaves you feeling confident, that supports you to advocate for the solutions you need, and that allows me to prescribe progesterone or thyroid hormone when indicated.

Children’s Health (including well-child checks)

With the right support and building blocks in place, your children can thrive. We support families with routine well-child checks as well as addressing specific concerns, such as skin, feeding or digestive complaints. We have a strong focus on education, covering topics such as baby food introduction, picky eating support, fever management, and cold and flu prevention and treatment. Children tend to respond to basic treatments very quickly and parents appreciate the education and support as they navigate concerns.

Let's get to the bottom of it so you can predict your body’s transitions and can feel your best self all month long.

You're depleted, exhausted and overwhelmed. Day-to-day life feels like a slog and stress levels are running high.

You need someone to hear you, and a strategy to manage and take charge of your health. We'll take clear, simple steps to help you find your motivation, feel in control of your body, and have the energy to do the things you want to do in life.

*Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and desiccated thyroid hormone can be prescribed as needed.
