There are many potential causes such as estrogen dominance, low progesterone, inflammation, fibroids, endometriosis, or nutrient deficiencies. We help identify which factors are playing a role in your case.
If your period leaves you curled up with a heating pad, missing work, or planning your month around pain, something deeper is going on. While heavy or painful cycles are common, they’re not normal—and they’re not something you just have to live with. Our approach is designed to get to the root of what’s making your cycle so intense, so you can find lasting relief.
Painful and heavy periods are often a sign of underlying inflammation, hormone imbalance, poor detoxification, or nervous system dysregulation. Instead of suppressing the symptoms, we work to understand what’s causing them. Using functional lab testing, cycle tracking, and principles of Chinese medicine, we’ll create a care plan tailored to your body. This may include nutrition shifts, herbal support, stress regulation tools, and targeted supplementation—all aimed at restoring hormonal balance and reducing pain at the source. You deserve a cycle that doesn’t feel like a setback every month—and we’re here to help you get there.
...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.


Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.

Yes. Conventional labs often miss subtle imbalances. We dig deeper with functional testing and a thorough review of your cycle patterns, symptoms, and history.
Not with us. Our approach is rooted in restoring your body’s natural rhythm—not shutting it down. We focus on healing the root causes, not just silencing the symptoms.
We offer both. If you’re local to Milwaukee, you can also integrate acupuncture and Chinese medicine therapies. Otherwise, our virtual Functional Medicine care is available nationwide.
