What we look at together.

Hormones run everything — your energy, your mood, your metabolism, your sleep, your cycle, your skin. When they're off, you feel it in all of those places at once. And yet the standard response is often to address each symptom individually, with no one looking at the system underneath.

Dr. Amy looks at the system. She maps your full hormonal picture — not just a single TSH or estrogen reading, but the patterns across your cycle and over time, in the context of what you eat, how your gut is functioning, and how your body has shifted.

The goal isn't just to get your numbers in a reference range. It's to understand what drove them out of balance in the first place — and what your body needs to genuinely restore it.

If you're thinking about pregnancy — whether it's soon or someday — your body's readiness matters more than most providers make time to discuss. Functional health looks at what your body needs before conception: nutritional status, hormonal balance, gut health, thyroid function, inflammatory patterns.

For women who have been trying without success, Dr. Amy looks at the full picture — not just one or two markers, but the whole environment. Often, the things that have been overlooked are the things that matter most.

Pregnancy is one of the most nutritionally and hormonally demanding seasons of a woman's life. Most OB appointments are focused on monitoring — which is important — but the day-to-day experience of feeling well, managing symptoms, and supporting your body through rapid change often falls outside the scope of a standard visit.

Dr. Amy provides integrative support throughout pregnancy, working alongside your OB or midwife. She looks at nutrition, supplementation, digestive health, hormonal patterns, and the whole-body changes that accompany each trimester — so that you're not just being checked on, you're being cared for.

The fourth trimester is one of the most physically and hormonally intense periods in a woman's life — and one of the least supported by conventional medicine. Postpartum thyroid shifts, mood disruption, hair loss, exhaustion, and the slow return (or non-return) of your cycle are common. They are not things you simply have to push through.

Dr. Amy works with women in the early postpartum period and with women who are months or years out and still don't feel like themselves. If something hasn't returned to baseline, there's usually a reason. That reason is worth finding.

Perimenopause often begins years before anyone tells you it's happening. Sleep disruption, mood shifts, cycle changes, brain fog, weight changes that didn't used to be there — these are early signs of a hormonal transition that can last a decade. Most women aren't told this until they're well into it.

Dr. Amy works with women at every stage of the transition. Not with a one-size protocol, but with a careful look at what's changing in your body, what it needs to support that change, and how nutrition and lifestyle can make the difference between a transition that feels survivable and one that feels manageable — even good.

Your gut is connected to almost everything else — your hormones, your immune function, your mood, your cycle. When the gut is struggling, it rarely stays isolated. Bloating, irregular digestion, and food sensitivities are often the visible edge of a deeper pattern.

As a certified gut health practitioner, Dr. Amy looks at gut function as part of the whole body — not as a separate complaint. She works with IBS, SIBO, dysbiosis, leaky gut, and chronic digestive dysfunction, with a focus on what's driving the pattern and what the gut needs to actually restore itself.

One of the most common things Dr. Amy hears from new clients: "I've had every test done. They say nothing is wrong. But something is clearly wrong."

When conventional medicine runs out of answers, functional health often finds them — because it asks different questions. It looks at nutritional deficiencies, mitochondrial function, inflammatory patterns, gut-brain connections, and the slow accumulation of things that are each just inside the normal range but together are telling a different story.
