Hormones affect everything- energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, reproduction. When they’re out of balance, you feel it everywhere.

At Thrive Well Studio hormone health is addressed through:

• Clinical nutrition - identifying deficiencies and imbalances through advanced testing

• Herbal & botanical medicine - targeted herbs that support endocrine function naturally

• Lifestyle counseling - stress management, sleep optimization, and movement protocols

• Targeted supplementation - only what you actually need

Whether you are dealing with thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, PCOS, perimenopause, or unexplained weight changes, we look at the whole picture - not just your lab values.

Common concerns: Thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, hormonal acne, menstrual irregularities, fertility support, menopausal symptoms.

Mental health care often falls into a trap: treat the symptom, prescribe medication, repeat. That’s not how I practice.

I take a whole-person approach to anxiety, depression, and mood disorders - looking at gut health, nutrient status, hormone balance, and lifestyle factors that are often overlooked.

Support options include:

• Herbal & botanical medicine - nervines and adaptogens that calm the nervous system

• Nutritional psychiatry - using food and supplements to support brain chemistry

• Lifestyle protocols- sleep, movement, breathwork, and stress reduction strategies

Medication can be part of your care if needed - but it’s never the only tool in the box.

Common concerns: Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, burnout, mood swings, stress-related conditions.

Digestive Health

ADHD is not a character flaw or a parenting failure. It’s a neurological reality that deserves real support - not just a prescription… or two.

I work with both children and adults to develop personalized protocols that address:

• Focus and attention - through natural support strategies

• Executive function - planning, organization, emotional regulation

• Energy and motivation - ruling out underlying contributors like iron deficiency or sleep issues

• Medication considerations - helping you understand all of the options without pressure

Every protocol is different because every brain is different. Some patients benefit from medication. Others thrive with nutrition, herbs, and behavioral support alone. We find out what works for you.

Common Concerns: Focus difficulties, hyperactivity, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, organization challenges.

The gut is the foundation of total-body health. It’s where we absorb nutrients, produce neurotransmitters, and interface with our immune system. When it is not working right, everything suffers.

I work with patients experiencing:

• IBS and functional digestive disorders

• Food sensitivities and intolerances

• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

• Leaky gut and mucosal barrier dysfunction

• Parasitic and fungal infections

Using stool testing, breath testing, and clinical evaluation, we identify what’s really going on - then build a protocol using dietary changes, targeted supplements, and herbal antimicrobials when needed.

Common Concerns: Bloating, abdominal pain, irregular bowl movements, gas, heartburn, food reactions.

Children aren’t just small adults - their bodies, developmental stages, and health needs are unique. I provide gentle, thorough natural care for kids from infancy through adolescence.

Well-child visits focus on:

• Immune support - building resilience naturally, especially for recurrent ear infections, colds, and allergies

• Digestive health - colic, reflux, constipation, food sensitivities

• Skin conditions - eczema, cradle cap, rashes

• Behavioral conditions - ADHD evaluation support, sensory processing, anxiety in children

• Developmental milestones - monitoring and supporting healthy development

I take time with every child - getting to know their history, observing their behavior, and involving parents as active partners in care.

Common concerns: Colic, ear infections, eczema, food allergies, ADHD symptoms, frequent illness, constipation, behavioral challenges

Sustainable weight management isn’t about willpower or calorie counting - it’s about understanding what’s actually driving the resistance to change.

I look at the underlying metabolic and hormonal factors that make weight loss difficult:

• Thyroid function - optimizing even “normal: thyroid ranges

• Insulin and blood sugar regulation

• Cortisol and stress hormones

• Gut microbiome health

• Inflammation and metabolic flexibility

Using functional lab testing and a personalized nutritional protocol, we address the root causes - so weight management becomes a natural outcome of overall health improvement, not an act of extreme discipline.

Common concerns: Stubborn weight gain, inability to lose weight despite diet and exercise, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance
