The Hormone Clarity Guide
Integrative Care for Every Phase of Womanhood
Do you feel like your body is changing and you’re not sure why? Maybe your periods are off, moods are swinging, or sleep just isn’t the same. Hormones affect so much more than your cycle — they touch everything from energy and metabolism to skin, mood, libido, and bone strength.
At my Capitola clinic, I help women uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Using a root-cause functional medicine lens, we address your hormonal health with clarity, compassion, and a personalized plan.
Your symptoms are not “just part of being a woman.”
They’re signs your body is asking for deeper support.
Hormonal shifts don’t have to feel like chaos. Together, we work on:
I believe healing happens when we see the whole picture — your story, your labs, your life — and build a plan that truly fits. It’s not about masking symptoms; it’s about understanding what’s driving them and helping your body restore balance from the inside out.
DUTCH urine testing, thyroid labs, and blood panels to see your full picture. Advanced testing leads to better, personalized recommendations.
Calm your nervous system, regulate cycles, ease symptoms. Align energy systems to support cycle regularity, stress resilience, and hormonal flow.
Food and nutrients to stabilize blood sugar and support detox. I emphasize anti-inflammatory foods and the gut microbiome-hormone connection to improve health outcomes.
Movement, herbs, supplements, and metabolic insights for strong bones and steady energy. We’ll address nutrient deficiencies, exercise support, and your weight/stress balance.
My approach blends the best of modern science with the wisdom of traditional healing. Over the last 30 years, I’ve studied biochemistry, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, Chinese medicine, and functional lab analysis, out of deep curiosity and care for the women I serve.
I am board-licensed in acupuncture and hold multiple certifications in functional medicine, and I stay current through ongoing study and collaboration with leading integrative practitioners.
This diverse training has shaped the toolkit I use today: advanced testing like comprehensive hormone panels and microbiome analysis, alongside therapies like acupuncture, botanicals, and tailored nutrition.
The DUTCH test shows how your hormones are produced, used, and cleared over a full day. It reveals patterns blood tests can miss — like cortisol rhythms or estrogen metabolism.
When we support your estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol balance, mood often steadies. We also look at your gut, inflammation, and nutrient levels—all of which play a role.
Yes. We look at what’s driving the imbalance—like gut health, vaginal microbiome, or blood sugar issues. My goal is to reduce recurrence by strengthening your body’s natural defenses rather than relying on repeated antibiotics or antifungals.
I support hormone and metabolic balance through nutrition, gentle supplements, and cycle-aware care. We often use inositol, blood sugar strategies, and targeted stress support to help regulate ovulation and restore rhythm.
Absolutely. Hormone shifts—especially between ovulation and your period—can cause emotional highs and lows. By improving hormone detox pathways, gut health, and stress resilience, we can help smooth out those fluctuations.
These are common, especially during perimenopause or postpartum. I support tissue integrity, circulation, and the vaginal microbiome through diet, acupuncture, and natural therapies to improve comfort and function.
Yes — I work with women to optimize egg quality, ovulation, and overall cycle health. Whether you’re just starting or have been trying for a while, we use personalized strategies to support conception and whole-body wellness.
I offer supportive care for emotional health that complements your mental health providers. This includes addressing inflammation, hormone imbalances, nutrient depletion, and nervous system tone to gently ease symptoms.
I assess nutrient status, hormone influence, and inflammation to support bone density—especially important in perimenopause and beyond. We focus on minerals, movement, and digestion to build strong, resilient bones.
It’s crucial for preventing infections and maintaining hormonal harmony. I support it by addressing gut health, immune regulation, and the impact of medications or stress—always from a whole-person perspective.
