About Us

  We use scientific advancements to question the dominant narrative about aging.

Dr. Parker specializes in the care of women and men ages 30+ as they begin to face hormonal imbalances.  She treats an array of conditions associated with female aging & andropause.   This includes conditions like mood and concentration changes, lowered libido, migraines, mood changes,  changes in skin & hair, decreased exercise performance and arthritic conditions. 

She also works on adjunctive diagnosis & treatment of conditions indirectly impacted by hormones and gut health.

Our approach to sustainably shedding body fat preserves muscle while improving metabolic, microbiomic, mitochondrial and nutritional factors.  We address hormone & nutrient status, digestion, absorption, gut flora and dysbiosis, in addition to critical lifestyle factors such as sleep. Weight concerns are real and should not be attributed to mere vanity.   Mid-section weight gain increases the risks for multiple diseases, including brain atrophy, depression and cardiovascular disease.  Just 3-10% reductions in body fat create clinical benefit for diabetes prevention, improved osteoarthritis, lipid management and hypertension.   

 This clinic affirms the personal responsibility and self-efficacy of cultivating health and wellness goals specific to you. 

Integrative & personalized medicine bridges the gaps between alternative and conventional care to insightfully understand your health and advance your healing.     We consider your unique health goals, genetics, family history,  nutrition, and other lifestyle factors.    We  also appreciate how  medication, developmental narratives and stress may have changed you - for better or worse.     

We offer multi-faceted care for 

• vaginal atrophy & laxity
• female & male arousal issues 
• recurrent urinary tract infections
• incontinence
• vaginal dryness

 Using an evidence informed approach, Dr. Parker offers several options for care, including prescription medications, peptides, hormonal replenishment & nutritional and holistic therapies.   

These are phrases  which healthy women facing hormonal imbalance reveal:

• "I am on edge for no reason"
• " My emotions are out of control"
• " My doctor told me 'You're FINE'

but I feel like Im falling apart"

 Dr. Parker aims to resolve the biochemical gestalt of mid-life changes thwart her patients' happiness, impact & medical autonomy. 

 Patients receive personalized care plans  tailored to their specific versions of wellness and aspirational goals for life.

 How we look can impact how we feel about ourselves. Stress, excessive androgen hormones, lowered estrogen, lowered progesterone, thyroid imbalances, disturbed sleep, improper diet and nutrient status all impact how we shine.  Both external beauty and internal radiance face uphill battles with aging. 

Because hormones play a critical role in the sleep and wake cycles, people in middle age are moving targets for sleep disorders, including: 

• Waking at 2-3am 
• Frequent waking
•  Difficulty falling asleep
• Waking to urinate frequently

 Regaining restorative sleep is an essential first step towards healing myriad ailments.    

We screen for important endocrine conditions which impact a diverse interplay of hormonal patterns that  drive hair thinning at its root.  Hair is a symptom of the health, vitality and integrity of circulatory, endocrine, digestive, lymphatic and metabolic systems.  Determining the cause(s) of your unique hair loss guides your unique treatment plan and clinical recommendations.  

 Treatments are multi-faceted and should be addressed as soon as changes are noticed.    

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are can be hidden culprits underlying some forms of illness, including some types of hormonal imbalance. 

 As part of our differential diagnosis for challenging cases, we use a functional medicine approach to consider the potential impact that environmental pollutants, heavy metals  & mycotoxins may have on the etiologies of some forms of illness.  Neutralization, clearance & detoxification of these  chemicals are imparted into an integrative treatment when toxins are uncovered as an obstacle to resolving chronic conditions.
