Work With Me

I partner with my patients to create individualized plans that go beyond the band-aid one size fits all approach. We work with your body, instead of covering up symptoms, to get to the root cause and train your body into a better way of being.

Conditions that are a good fit for us to work on together are:

  • Preconception planning
  • Fertility
  • Infertility
  • Natural support when undergoing reproductive assistance 
  • Acne
  • PCOS
  • PMS or PMDD
  • Irregular periods
  • Heavy periods
  • Painful periods
  • Fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Abnormal PAP smear
  • Peri-menopause
  • Post-menopause
  • Thyroid disorders

In-person and virtual. I work with women in- person in my Chicago office, Vital Origins Integrative Health. I also see patients virtually across the country. 

Here’s what to expect in the Initial + Three visit structure: 

  • Initial visit- Gather Information: 
    • Initial 60 – 90 minute visit where we will comprehensively review your health history, order any new labs, and discuss nutrition and supplement changes to make. You will leave this visit with a plan that includes nutrition, supplements, lab recommendations, lifestyle modification, and any referrals to get you started. 
    • Comprehensive lab review for your most recent labs with other providers for labs done within the last year
    • Review of your current medications checking for interactions with supplements
    • Review of your current supplements with the goal to streamline your list to be purposeful and effective
    • Online membership portal access for direct messaging between appointments and secure record keeping of labs and visit recommendations
  • + Three follow- up visits- Three follow up appointments. After the initial session, we will need to make sure you are making progress. Each visit has a specific purpose. First is to refine your plan based on labs and initial progress, second is to chart the progress you’ve made and fine tune, then we reevaluate and create long term plans 
    • Refine: The first follow up is scheduled for four weeks after your initial visit. At the first follow up, we go through your lab results and progress so far. 
    • Progress: After the first follow up, the second follow up appointment discusses your changes on the treatment plan.
    • Long term plans and reevaluation: follow up three is for fine tuning and making sure we’ve addressed all of your concerns. By this visit , we would see you well on your way to problem resolution, and also have a sustainable roadmap to implement going forward. 
    • After the initial + three we will move to as needed visits

Did you know that over 50 million Americans strugg Did you know that over 50 million Americans struggle with acne each year, and no, they are not all teens! If you're struggling with adult acne you are not alone. ⁠
⁠
The root causes of adult acne may vary, but knowing what they are and addressing them at the source is the best way to not only clear up breakouts but prevent them in the future. 💪🏻⁠
Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠ ⁠ I Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠
⁠
I know what you're thinking..⁠
⁠
"That's an avocado!"⁠
⁠
Yes, you're correct but it's also widely known as an Alligator Pear 😎⁠
⁠
Avocados are loaded with fiber and potassium, designed to aid in bloating and gas, while at the same time, their natural high content of fat helps you feel full for longer periods of time.⁠
⁠
The fats that are contained in an avocado are actually heart healthy fats and aid in cardiovascular function. ❤️⁠

How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇 How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇🏼⁠
⁠
Magnesium functions to alter the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. More contraction and stiffer vessels = higher blood pressure. 📈⁠
⁠
More dilated and relaxed blood vessels = lower blood pressure. 📉⁠
⁠
Research has shown that magnesium can support the ability of the blood vessels to dilate, and reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure.⁠
⁠
So, how do you know if you're getting enough magnesium?⁠
⁠
Anything that twitches, cramps, or spasms may be a sign of low magnesium status!⁠
⁠
Another way to look for magnesium levels is by checking intracellular magnesium or RBC magnesium. I can help you check this with labs 😉⁠
⁠
If you're low, try adding one or more of the sources mentioned above 👍🏼
