Test, don't guess
“Normal labs” and “I feel terrible” can both be true at the same time. We start with your history and symptoms, then use thoughtful testing where it can help us understand what's happening and build a clearer path forward.
See how we beginIt starts with being heard
Every client begins with a 90-minute deep dive. We go through your full history, your symptoms, and your goals, and I take the time to understand the whole picture before I recommend anything, the opposite of a rushed, 15-minute visit where you feel like a set of boxes being checked.
You know your body better than anyone. My job is to listen to what it's telling you, add the data where it helps, and build the path from there.
The whole picture
I look at your hormones alongside gut health, blood sugar, nutrition, stress, sleep, and your own history, because these systems interact. Which of them matters most, and in what order, depends on you.
Anyone can order a test. A kit in the mail isn't the hard part, and it isn't where the value is. The value is in the read: what your results mean in the context of your symptoms, and the plan that comes from them.
So I don't hand you a report and leave you alone with it. I choose testing thoughtfully, for the question it's meant to help answer, then interpret it in plain language, connect it to what you're feeling, and build a plan from what's actually there.
What we may test
Your gut
A stool test that maps the bacteria, imbalances, and inflammation markers in your digestive tract, and how well you're breaking food down. Often a helpful starting point when gut symptoms are part of the picture.
Your food reactivity
A blood test that measures immune responses to a range of foods and food chemicals. When appropriate, I use it as one piece of information to help guide a more targeted approach to food rather than relying on broad restriction alone.
Your metabolic & thyroid picture
A broader look at blood markers related to blood sugar and metabolism, thyroid function, inflammation, iron, and nutrient status. I interpret the results alongside your history, symptoms, and other relevant information.
Your hormones & cortisol
A dried urine test that can show your cortisol rhythm across the day, how your liver metabolizes estrogen, and your hormone metabolites. I'll always tell you its limits: it isn't FDA-cleared, and I read it alongside your symptoms and other labs, never on its own.
These are some of the labs I use most often. Your testing is chosen based on your history, symptoms, goals, and what we're trying to understand, not from a predetermined list.
How virtual care works
I work with women in California and nationwide, entirely online, with unhurried video visits, at-home lab kits when appropriate, results reviews, and messaging support between sessions.
Your deep dive, results review, and check-ins all happen over Zoom, from wherever you are.
Test kits ship to your home. You complete them there and mail them back; results take about two weeks.
Messaging access between sessions, so you're never left alone with a plan and a question.
How this approach is different
Quick telehealth platforms have their place, but they tend to work one way: a short visit, a default toward a single fix, and not much after. This is different in three ways that matter.
A 90-minute first visit, not 15 minutes.
We look beyond hormones alone. Gut health, blood sugar, nutrition, stress, and sleep are considered alongside your hormone picture, so the plan reflects the whole person.
Structured check-ins and messaging across the whole arc, so the plan gets adjusted as your body responds instead of handed over once and forgotten.
Ways to begin
The focused starting point
$499
A DUTCH Complete, a written analysis that explains what each part means, a 30-minute Results Reveal call with me, and foundational food and lifestyle guidance to begin. It's complete on its own, and a real starting point, not a teaser. If you go deeper later, your hormone data carries straight into your program.
For the fuller picture
When your picture calls for a more complete workup, testing across gut, food, blood, and hormones lives inside the program, along with the protocol and ongoing support. Labs are part of the program, passed through at cost — never sold à la carte or marked up.
Learn about the programNo single test tells the whole story, and I'll never claim one does. Functional labs are most useful when they're read together and read in context, alongside your history and how you feel. That's the difference between data and answers.
A short application is the easiest way to start, and it takes you straight to my calendar to book a call. We talk through what you're experiencing, and I tell you straight whether I'm the right person to help.
