Vital Woman Health Consultations with Dr. Caite

I combine the diagnostic precision of functional medicine with the pattern recognition of Chinese medicine and the terrain-based philosophy that your body is always trying to heal β€” it just needs the right conditions.

You've seen the doctors. You've had the labs come back "normal." You've been told to eat less, stress less, sleep more, as if you hadn't thought of that. You've maybe even tried the supplements, the elimination diet, the wellness influencer's protocol.



This isn't because your body is being difficult (though I know it probably feels very frustrating). It's because you've been treated like a diagnosis instead of a woman with an intelligent, sensitive and cyclical system.


Your body is not malfunctioning. It's sending signals. And those signals can be decoded.

And you still don't feel well.

Until 1993, women were routinely excluded from clinical trials entirely! Our hormonal variability was considered too complicated to study. Today, over 80% of preclinical drug studies are still conducted on male subjects only. The result? Women experience adverse drug reactions at nearly twice the rate of men. Most medical interventions were never properly tested on us.

The result is a medical system that is genuinely, structurally underprepared to treat women well. And it goes deeper than research bias. Western medicine is a linear, top-down, symptom-suppression model. 

It was built on the biology of a body that operates on a 24-hour hormonal cycle. You do not have a 24-hour cycle. You have a 28-day one.

Western medicine was not built for you.

You are cyclical. Seasonal. Responsive to your environment, your relationships, your emotional landscape, and the phase of life you're in. Your hormones shift across a month in ways that affect your energy, your digestion, your immunity, your mood, your libido, your cognition. 

A linear protocol applied to a cyclical body is always going to miss something.


This isn't a flaw in you, it’s a flaw in the mainstream model. You deserve medicine that was actually designed with your body in mind.

Your body needs someone who speaks its language.

Symptoms are not the enemy. They are your body's most honest form of communication: a sophisticated, intelligent signaling system trying to get your attention. 

The problem is that most practitioners are trained to silence them rather than listen.

I've spent years learning to do the opposite. To sit with the full picture, your labs, your history, your patterns, your sensitivities, your emotional landscape, your environment, and hear what your body is actually asking for.

Think of me as your body whisperer. 🌿
Someone who has learned to decode the language of symptoms so that instead of chasing each one individually, we find the thread that connects them all.

β€” where your hormones, your gut, your energy, your emotional history, and your environment are understood as one interconnected system. Not separate problems requiring separate specialists.

Here's what most practitioners miss (even the Naturopaths and Functional med docs): a supplement protocol designed for a condition is not the same as a protocol designed for you.

The woman with hormone dysregulation who needs HRT is not the same as the woman with hormone dysregulation who needs to address her gut absorption first. The fertility patient whose labs look fine but whose detox pathways are overburdened. The highly sensitive woman who needs lower doses and subtler medicine because her system responds differently.

This is the difference between treating a diagnosis and treating a person.

Vital Woman is root cause medicine designed specifically for women

  • You're tired all the time and nobody can tell you why
  • Your hormones feel out of control
  • Your gut is unpredictable and bloating is just your normal now
  • Your libido disappeared
  • You're holding on to excess weight
  • You want to get pregnant and want to prepare your body well
  • You have a diagnosis but no real answers
  • You don't want the SSRIs but you want to feel less anxious and depressed

What brings women to me:

Clinically I specialize in: irregular or painful cycles, PMS, perimenopause, fertility and preconception support, low libido, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, gut health, and autoimmune conditions.

How it works:
Initial Consultation β€” $585
We start with a comprehensive 60-minute intake where I learn everything I can: your symptoms, your history, your labs, your life. From there I build you a fully personalized written treatment plan that includes:

  • Lab orders as needed (never required and testing costs are separate)
  • Review of any existing labs you bring
  • A targeted herb and supplement protocol sequenced and personalized for you β€” not a condition-based shotgun approach
  • Highly personalized diet, nutrition and lifestyle guidance
  • Empowering educational resources so you understand your own body 

We then meet for a 30-minute follow up call to walk through the plan together and get you moving with clarity and confidence.

Follow Up Sessions β€” $150
30-minute sessions to review labs, assess progress, and refine the plan as needed. Most adjustments between sessions we can handle via email. I believe your time matters and not everything requires a full appointment.

Vital Woman Consultations

Most women resolve their primary concern within 8-12 weeks with the initial consult and 1-2 follow ups. No packages or multi-month commitments. The plan is designed to be sustainable and something you can carry forward on your own. The goal is that you leave understanding your body well enough to advocate for yourself and only need to utilize me if new major issues arise.

I work alongside your western medicine providers. Western medicine offers valuable diagnostics (big fan of ultrasounds and MRIs) and I actively encourage you to use your insurance and your GP for that. Where it falls short is in treating the chronic, complex, whole-person picture. That's where I come in.

Testing costs are never marked up. I don't profit from your labs, and I will never hold results hostage; they're yours.

We can't honestly reduce your symptoms to purely physical causes. Your emotional history, your nervous system, and your memories live in your body β€” and any truly effective treatment plan has to account for that. But I will also never tell you to just go see a psychiatrist. You'll leave with concrete, practical, evidence-informed steps alongside the more integrative pieces.

I practice what I preach β€” including what goes into my own body. I didn't get a single COVID shot and I never will. Not because I'm anti-vax, but because I follow the money. I think critically about every drug and procedure being aggressively promoted, I read what's being funded and by whom, and I believe pharmaceutical companies should be fully liable for every harm their products cause. No exceptions.

Bodily autonomy and true informed consent are non-negotiable for me β€” in my own life and in my practice. I intentionally work outside of the mainstream medical system.

If that resonates with you, you're in the right place. If it doesn't, that's okay too! There are plenty of practitioners who will tell you to do what the guidelines say. I'm not one of them. 

A few things you should know:

Functional Medicine Testing

I offer a huge range of advanced functional medicine testing that uses blood, urine, hair, stool, and saliva samples. Many of these are at-home test kits can be shipped to most states in the U.S. and Canada. I can order bloodwork for you to get drawn in most states.

This is for you if...

trying to decide if this is a good fit?

You feel failed by the "everything looks normal" response

You're tired of being handed a protocol designed for a condition, not for you

You want someone who can hold the complexity of your whole picture

You're ready to understand your body rather than just manage your symptoms

You want root cause resolution, not lifelong dependence on supplements or medications

You are a highly sensitive woman who has never felt understood by the medical system



A note on highly sensitive women:

The body is intelligent. Symptoms are signals. And you deserve a practitioner who treats you that way.

If you've ever been told you're "too sensitive," react strongly to medications, or feel like standard protocols make you worse, this is not a character flaw. It's a physiological reality. 
About 15-20% of the population has a nervous system that processes stimuli more deeply, and it has profound implications for how you should be treated.

What I see constantly in HSP women: they've been put on standard protocols and felt worse. Then written off as anxious or noncompliant, when actually they were responding accurately to doses and interventions that were simply too aggressive for their system. They've been over-supplemented, over-medicated, and treated like a problem patient.

HSP women need lower doses, slower sequencing, and less invasive interventions. They need a practitioner who understands that their sensitivity is information β€” not interference. 

I’m passionate about being this person for you because I so badly needed a healthcare provider who was HSP-literate.
