Hi, I'm Dr. Stef. When I'm Not Hanging Upside Down, I'm Helping.
What can I help you with?
You don't need to have a diagnosis before you come in.
Many of my patients come to me because they are experiencing several changes at once and aren't sure how they fit together.
So what is happening? The answer is not one thing.
I commonly work with people experiencing:
Metabolism & body composition
unexplained weight gain
difficulty losing weight
increased abdominal weight
changes in body composition
blood sugar or insulin concerns
metabolic risk factors
Energy & sleep
persistent fatigue
low energy or reduced stamina
difficulty falling or staying asleep
waking during the night
feeling less resilient than you used to
Thyroid health
thyroid dysfunction
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
persistent symptoms despite thyroid treatment
questions about thyroid laboratory results
Hormones & midlife health
perimenopause and menopause symptoms
changing menstrual cycles
hot flashes and night sweats
hormonal changes affecting sleep, mood, energy or body composition
changes in how your body responds to exercise or nutrition
Digestive health
bloating
changes in bowel habits
digestive discomfort
food-related symptoms
concerns about gut health
Stress & resilience
feeling overwhelmed (or less able to tolerate stress)
changes in sleep, energy or mood (especially during prolonged stress)
difficulty recovering from periods of illness or high demand
These concerns often overlap. That's why I don't approach them as separate problems. I look at the relationships between them to understand what may be contributing to the bigger picture.
So, what does a naturopathic doctor actually do?
If you've never worked with a naturopathic doctor before, you may be wondering what to expect.
My role isn't simply to recommend supplements or give you a natural alternative to conventional medicine.
I use your symptoms, health history, physical findings and laboratory data to understand your health from a broader perspective.
Your symptoms don't exist in isolation.
I help people make sense of complex health changes by connecting symptoms, physiology, health history, and laboratory data.
The goal is to identify what matters most, understand where to focus, and translate that information into a clear, focused, and measurable plan.
You'll know what we're looking at, why it matters, what we're prioritizing, and what comes next.
Understand what's happening. Know what matters. Have a clear plan.
Feel more like yourself again.
Feeling different? Start here.
Weight & Metabolic Health: Your body composition has changed, and weight loss isn't working the way it used to.
Midlife & Hormonal Changes: Your cycles, sleep, energy, weight or stress tolerance are changing—and you want to understand why.
Fatigue & Sleep: You're tired, you're not sleeping well, and you're not sure what's driving it.
Digestive Health: Your digestion has changed, and you want to understand what may be contributing.
Complex or Unexplained Symptoms: You have several symptoms that don't seem to fit together—or you've been told everything is “normal.”
"I help you figure out what's changed, what may be driving it, and what to do next."
