A new approach to women’s healthcare combining integrative and functional medicine with hormone health support

Become your healthiest self

Too many women have been dismissed by conventional medicine and don’t know that they can find relief from unexplained symptoms wreaking havoc on their lives–often brought on by hormonal shifts at any age, but especially during perimenopause and menopause. Through a holistic approach combining the best of conventional and functional medicine with mindfulness, hormone, nutrition and fitness support, we help women’s bodies function at their highest level.

I’m Marilynn Karas, and I spent 20 years in a conventional women’s health model before finding my way to integrative and functional medicine through a fellowship with Dr. Andrew Weil, and training with the Institute for Functional Medicine. I’ve spent the past decade in private practice helping women reclaim their health–and happiness.

Who we help

Women who are tired, anxious, chronically ill, not sleeping, quick to anger and resistant to weight loss. Women who are nervous about their brain, their bones, their hair, and their vaginas. Mothers, daughters. Employers, employees. Partners, friends.
We are everywhere. We are you and me.

All roads lead to hormones

It’s heartening (and about damn time!) to witness the cultural shift in conversations around women’s health. We’re finally addressing the role that perimenopause and menopause play in how we feel. And we’re talking about the debilitating symptoms women have been suffering through, unnecessarily. From mood and sleep disorders to forgetfulness and weight gain, we know firsthand that hormones play a critical role in keeping these unwanted symptoms in check. 

When our hormones are in balance, we are in balance.

“I've been working with Marilynn since 2018 and I believe her curiosity is what makes her a great practitioner. We've journeyed through a variety of health concerns from skin issues, weight management, mold toxicity, fertility, pregnancy, and now postpartum. I prefer working with Marilynn over a PCP any day.”

multigenerational women who prioritize an investment in their healthcare

Our approach to women’s health

One treatment plan does not fit all. Every woman has a different bioidentity, health history and current life circumstance. We evaluate your individual health and look for connections that conventional medicine often ignores by using outdated standards. We’re curious about your  symptoms, but we’re more curious about why you’re experiencing them. Uncovering the root cause is where true health transformation happens. All women–not to mention their family, friends and communities–benefit from this type of caring, educated, curious, thoughtful, and open-minded medical care. 

Let’s encourage a new normal–where women prioritize an investment in their health, because it has a profoundly positive ripple effect.
