A Little Health Love for the Men in Our Lives

Happy Father’s Day! 💙

Hello Reader,

This weekend, we’re sending some love to all the dads, father figures, partners, brothers, and men who are doing their best — showing up for their families, working hard, and trying to stay healthy in a world that doesn’t always make that easy.

While my practice primarily focuses on women’s hormones and preventative care, I also support the health journeys of many men — especially those who want to feel more energized, optimize their labs, or just feel more like themselves again. We all benefit from tuning in and taking care of the foundations.

Here are a few reminders every man should hear more often:

Your sleep, stress, and gut health do impact testosterone and energy.
Skipping meals or fueling up with just coffee and protein bars isn’t a long-term strategy.
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and hormone balance matter — even in your 30s and 40s.
You don’t need to wait until something’s wrong to take care of yourself.
Taking care of your body doesn’t make you weak — it makes you present, powerful, and more alive.

If you're supporting a man in your life, remind him to stay on top of his labs, move his body, and prioritize real food, downtime, and connection. These basics make a big difference in longevity, mood, and resilience.

If you need a last-minute gift idea, consider gifting something truly supportive — like a comprehensive wellness consult, clean skincare, or a healthy home upgrade. (Yes, men benefit from low-tox living too! Links below!👇)

Let’s normalize preventative care and self-awareness for men— just like we do for women.

Here’s to strong, grounded, healthy men. We appreciate you.

In health,

Invest in your health with my customized health guidance

If you're in California, especially San Diego, and looking for a more holistic approach to your health, I’d love to work with you one-on-one.

As a naturopathic doctor, I help women rebalance their hormones, improve digestion, clear up skin issues, and finally feel like themselves again, without the guesswork or supplement overwhelm.

Here’s what working together looks like:
✅ We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your symptoms, history, and goals
✅ I order personalized lab tests (blood, saliva, or specialty panels) to get to the root cause
✅ Then I build you a customized plan using food, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplement or medical support

You’ll leave with a clear, customized plan, and ongoing support that’s grounded in both science and nature.

✨ Appointments are available virtually (phone call or Zoom) for all CA residents, or in-person in San Diego, CA ✨
