Naturopathic Doctor for Hormones, Perimenopause & Gut Health Serving San Leandro, CA
If you live in San Leandro and are looking for more time and a broader perspective on hormone, digestive, or metabolic concerns, I offer naturopathic and functional medicine care through telehealth, with in-person appointments also available at my Berkeley office.
For many San Leandro patients, virtual care is the easiest way to fit a comprehensive appointment into a busy schedule. Your intake, lab review, treatment planning, and follow-up can all be done remotely, while in-person visits remain an option when they make sense for your care.
Personalized Naturopathic & Functional Medicine for San Leandro Women
One of the most frustrating parts of having several symptoms at once is being asked to address each one separately.
Fatigue may be discussed in one visit. Digestive symptoms in another. Sleep changes somewhere else. Hormone symptoms may be attributed to age without looking closely at what else is happening.
My approach is to step back and look for patterns.
We’ll consider your symptoms, health history, medications, labs, nutrition, sleep, stress, digestion, metabolic health, and hormonal changes together so we can decide what deserves attention first.
Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormone Health
Perimenopause can show up differently from one person to the next. Some women notice obvious cycle changes, while others first notice disrupted sleep, hot flashes, mood changes, brain fog, fatigue, or changes in how their body responds to food and exercise.
If you’re looking for perimenopause or menopause care in San Leandro, we’ll assess the full picture rather than relying on symptoms alone or expecting one lab test to give us the answer.
Your care may include support around:
Menstrual cycle changes
Hot flashes and night sweats
Sleep disruption
Mood and anxiety changes
Brain fog
Fatigue
Changes in weight or body composition
Vaginal or urinary symptoms
For patients considering Menopausal Hormone Therapy, I provide evidence-based education around the options, benefits, risks, and practical considerations so you can make a decision that fits your health history and priorities.

Gut Health & Functional Digestive Care
Bloating, reflux, constipation, loose stools, food sensitivities, and chronic digestive discomfort can significantly affect how you feel day to day.
Some digestive changes overlap with hormonal transitions, while others point toward a separate digestive issue. My goal is to distinguish between those possibilities rather than assume they are all part of the same problem.
Depending on your symptoms and history, we may evaluate factors such as motility, diet, medication effects, nutrient status, stress, food reactions, IBS, SIBO, or dysbiosis.
When functional or specialty testing is likely to provide useful information, it can be incorporated into your evaluation and treatment plan.

Fatigue, Energy & Metabolic Concerns
Persistent fatigue can have many contributors, which is why I don’t automatically label it as a hormone issue.
We may look at sleep quality, iron and nutrient status, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, nutrition, physical activity, stress, medications, and hormonal changes depending on your history and symptoms.
This same broader approach can be helpful when you’re experiencing changes in weight, body composition, appetite, or metabolic health during midlife.
