Hormones Got You Feeling Off? Here’s Your Summer Reset! Plus, I'm Announcing a New Location


Feel Balanced All Summer Long

Hello Reader,

Let’s be real—summer is not always as effortless as it looks on social media. Between the heat, late nights, and blood sugar spikes (looking at you, rosé + fruit bowls), your hormones can start to feel... off.

If you've been bloated, moody, breaking out, or just feeling “puffy” and off-rhythm, it’s not your imagination. Your body is asking for a reset.

Especially with 🇺🇸 Fourth of July celebrations right around the corner (hello, BBQs, fireworks, and late-night get togethers), it’s extra important to support your body so you can enjoy the festivities without paying for it later.

Enter: What I've been calling ✨The Glowy Girl Summer Reset✨ A seasonal shift to help you cool inflammation, stabilize your hormones, and feel like your most radiant self again.


🌟 Your Glowy Girl summer Reset Plan 🌟

☀️ Hydrate smarter. Add sea salt and lemon juice, or electrolytes to your water—your adrenals need minerals to give you energy and deal with stress properly, so you cannot rely only on plain H2O.
☀️ Anchor every meal with protein. Especially breakfast, so you can avoid the late morning, early afternoon blood sugar crash. Try eggs, chia pudding, or a protein packed smoothie.
☀️ Eat your water. Think a nourishing and refreshing salad or snacks like cucumbers, watermelon with sea salt, berries, and zucchini.
☀️ Move with your cycle. If your energy is low, it means it's time to listen to your body and swap high-heat workouts for walks (bonus points if you're power walking to get your heart rate up) or controlled movement workouts using your body weight, such as yoga or pilates.
☀️ Support detox + glow. Load up on fiber and cruciferous veggies (for the fiber and detox benefits), magnesium, and castor oil packs (your liver and hormones will love you).

New location announcement!

I am so excited to announce that I will be joining the Oasis Health and Medicine team in Encinitas starting Thursday, July 3.

I will be joining fellow naturopathic doctors Dr. Pedi Mirdamadi, Dr. Dan Sullivan, and Dr. Chelsea Azarcon at Oasis Health & Medicine, and I will bring my knowledge and love of women's wellness and hormones, and skin and digestive health to the Oasis team.

I am eager and excited to expand my reach to the Oasis community and I welcome you to make an appointment with me so we can get to the root causes of your symptoms and have you feeling your best again.

For my current patients, nothing has changed!

I will still be keeping my schedules and seeing patients at The Adapt Lab in Solana Beach, CA (Tues and Fri) and Olympus Movement in Vista, CA (Mon and Wed). I am adding another location to fill up my Thursday schedule. I am truly blessed having to expand my schedule to accommodate the demand of new patients who wish to see me.


Balance Your Hormones & Energy with These Blood Sugar Hacks

Why You're Still Bloated Even on a "Clean" Diet


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
