Women's Health & Hormone Support
Understand Your Hormones. Feel More Like Yourself.
Irregular periods, persistent fatigue, mood changes, weight fluctuations, or feeling like your body is changing in ways you don't understand.
You've tried adjusting your diet, changing your exercise routine, or taking supplements, but you're still struggling to figure out what's going on.
I help women better understand their symptoms by exploring the relationship between their hormones, metabolism, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Together, we'll look at your health history, identify potential contributing factors, and develop a personalized nutrition plan that supports your health and helps you feel more confident in your body.
You’re not crazy. Your hormone symptoms are real.
Maybe your menstrual cycle has become unpredictable. You're feeling more anxious before your period, struggling with fatigue, or noticing changes in your weight despite maintaining the same habits.
You've tried making changes on your own, but you're still unsure what's contributing to your symptoms.
Hormones are involved in many aspects of your health, but symptoms that seem hormonal can have several contributing factors. Nutrition, metabolic health, sleep, stress, and underlying medical conditions can all play a role.
Depending on your symptoms and health history, there are many areas we may explore. Select each “+” sign to learn more.
-
Changes in ovulation and reproductive hormones can influence menstrual regularity, bleeding patterns, and premenstrual symptoms.
We'll review your cycle history and symptom patterns to better understand what's changing and whether further evaluation is needed.
-
Insulin resistance can influence reproductive function, particularly in women with PCOS. Changes in blood sugar regulation may also contribute to fluctuations in energy and hunger.
We'll explore your metabolic health and identify nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support your individual needs.
-
Stress and disrupted sleep can influence appetite, energy, and menstrual function.
We'll look at how these factors may be affecting you and identify realistic ways to support recovery and manage stress.
-
Your body needs adequate energy and nutrients to support reproductive function.
Consistently undereating, significant weight changes, or exercising beyond what your body is adequately fueled for can affect menstrual health.
We'll assess whether your current nutrition is meeting your needs and make adjustments where appropriate.
-
Conditions such as PCOS, thyroid disorders, and other reproductive health concerns can contribute to overlapping symptoms.
We'll review your health history and relevant laboratory results, and coordinate with your healthcare provider when additional evaluation or treatment is needed.
Common Women's Health Concerns I Work With
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (Formerly PCOS)
Irregular cycles, acne, unwanted hair growth, and metabolic changes can make PCOS challenging to navigate.
We'll explore your metabolic health, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle to develop individualized strategies that support insulin sensitivity, symptom management, and long-term health alongside your medical care.
Irregular Menstrual Cycles
Missed periods, unpredictable cycles, or changes in bleeding patterns can have several contributing factors.
We'll review your menstrual history, nutrition, activity, stress, and relevant health markers while coordinating appropriate medical evaluation to better understand what's influencing your cycle.
Weight Changes & Metabolic Health
Changes in weight and body composition can be influenced by hormonal transitions, metabolic health, nutrition, activity, and other factors.
We'll explore the bigger picture and develop a personalized approach to weight management that prioritizes adequate nourishment, muscle preservation, and sustainable habits.
PMS & Premenstrual Symptoms
Mood changes, bloating, fatigue, cravings, and physical discomfort can interfere with your quality of life in the days leading up to your period.
We'll explore your symptom patterns, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle to identify strategies that may help support your well-being throughout your cycle.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Changes in sleep, body composition, energy, mood, and menstrual patterns can accompany the menopausal transition.
We'll focus on nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support muscle, bone, cardiovascular, and metabolic health while helping you navigate your body's changing needs.
Thyroid Health & Nutrition
Fatigue, hair changes, constipation, and weight fluctuations can sometimes be associated with thyroid disorders, although these symptoms have many possible causes.
We'll review your nutrition, health history, and relevant laboratory results to identify nutritional considerations and support your overall health alongside appropriate medical treatment.
02. Use Testing When It Adds Value
Sometimes your symptoms and health history give us enough information to begin making meaningful changes. Other times, laboratory testing can help clarify potential contributing factors.
Depending on your needs, we'll review relevant results and consider additional testing in collaboration with your healthcare provider.
Testing is individualized and recommended when the results can meaningfully inform your care.
01. Understand Your Starting Point
We begin by getting curious about the whole picture.
We'll explore your menstrual history, symptoms, nutrition, relationship with food, weight changes, sleep, stress, activity, and previous treatments.
This helps us identify patterns, understand your starting point, and determine where additional investigation may be helpful.

Sometimes, We Need More Information.
When appropriate, laboratory testing can help identify medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, or metabolic factors that may be contributing to how you feel.
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, this may include:
Blood Sugar & Metabolic Markers
Fasting glucose, A1c, lipid markers, and other clinically indicated assessments may provide insight into metabolic health and help guide individualized nutrition strategies.
Thyroid Function
Thyroid testing may be appropriate when symptoms or medical history suggest a thyroid disorder. Results are interpreted alongside your clinical presentation and healthcare provider's evaluation.
Reproductive Hormones
When clinically indicated, hormone testing may help evaluate irregular cycles, suspected PCOS, or other reproductive health concerns. Test selection and timing depend on your symptoms, menstrual history, and life stage.
Nutritional Status
Iron studies, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and other targeted assessments may help identify deficiencies when your symptoms, diet, or health history indicate a need.
Testing is a tool, and its value comes from asking the right clinical questions and understanding how the results inform your care.
