Here’s the 4-step process I use to help you feel like yourself again.
We move from the bottom to the top of the roadmap, addressing your foundation first.
This is one of the ways we address root causes.

“Just as you can't have a sturdy tree without strong roots, you can't have a healthy body without a solid foundation of nutrition, exercise, and good lifestyle choices.” -Porchae B., FNP-C
I take a whole person, functional medicine approach to restore your health, happiness, and control.
What is Functional Medicine?
Care that addresses and heals the underlying root causes of illness by:
Looking at the body as an interconnected system. What happens in one part of the body leads to downstream effects (symptoms) in others. That’s why a band-aid (pills) fix won’t work in the long run.
Using functional lab testing to take a deeper look into what the body is doing, which will help personalize care to YOUR body’s needs
It looks at every area of your life and strengthens weak areas to improve your overall health and wellness.
Stop patching symptoms and start healing.
I treat your body with the exact care it needs through a personalized functional medicine approach.

More about the 4 stages of my "Hormone Harmony” program:
-
SUPPORT
Food is foundation. It is the primary source of nutrients that supports our energy levels, immune system, and body’s repair process. Each person's nutritional needs are unique. I provide you with a tailored nutrition approach.
-
RESTORE
Functional medicine testing (stool testing, hormonal testing, genetic testing, etc.) helps use a targeted treatment approach that addresses your underlying issues, to restore your mind and body to wellness. It’s more than merely alleviating symptoms.
-
OPTIMIZE
Pinpointing the specific issues that need to be addressed leads to more effective and safer treatment options. Optimize health and avoid future health problems.
-
MAINTAIN
Functional medicine supports a holistic approach to healthcare, where the focus is on whole-body wellness. You will have everything you need to be successful on your wellness journey once your time with me is complete.
“Hormone Harmony” includes:

By identifying and addressing the root cause of imbalances in the body, we can proactively stop potential health risks, or prevent current health conditions from becoming more severe.

This helps to understand how the digestive system is functioning, and whether there's an imbalance. An imbalance in the gut can lead to hormonal problems, weight gain, depression, and many other diseases.

Hormone testing measures the levels of various hormones, including sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones. It helps identify imbalances that can contribute to issues like infertility, mood disorders, or fatigue.
-
This helps to identify potential risk factors and markers in the bloodstream that are associated with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other related conditions.
-
We use your results from the specialized tests to create personalized treatment plans. This approach addresses unique factors contributing to your health issues.
-
This encourages you to not only start, but maintain dietary habits that are sustainable in the long run. Plans are created to address specific health concerns, such as weight management, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and other chronic diseases.
