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 — 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 better, 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.
Dr. Caite has been instrumental this year in helping me gain back my quality of life. From the first appointment through the continuation of my treatment I have felt respected, validated and cared for in a professional manner. My mental and physical health are finally back on track after trying numerous other paths prior to seeing Dr. Caite. She is a true gem and an amazing healer. Finding her has been such a gift!
- TAMARA C.
Caitlin is a true healer. She approached me with such a compassionate heart, I immediately felt comfortable confiding in her about my health. Not only that, but she is a walking encyclopedia of Chinese medicine. She's just brilliant. If you are looking for a great place to get the balance of holistic health coupled with a scientific approach, then she's a great fit. She was especially helpful to me during my challenging pregnancy.
- Noelle k.
Cannot say enough about my positive experience. Dr. Gordon has helped me immensely. I have struggled with various liver/autoimmune health issues for the past 10 years and was consistently told by doctors that they had no idea what the cause was/to try various operations, drugs, and steroids, but within 6 months of working with Dr. Gordon I have finally begun to see an improvement in symptoms and lab results in a natural way.

When I first sought treatment from Dr. Caite, I didn't know what to expect. After several months of treatment let me say what a great decision it was to go to her. She was able to help me find a level of health that all the traditional specialists I'd seen told me I had no hope for. Not only is she a genuinely bright intellect, but her thoughtful and perceptive way elevate this science to an art. Seeing her may be the best health decision I've ever made.

I went to see Dr. Caite feeling discouraged after a year of trying to conceive with no luck. I was dealing with all kinds of hormonal imbalance and irregular periods after getting off the pill. Dr Caite was thorough and gave me a three month treatment plan to get my hormones back on track. After month four I was pregnant! I am so grateful for going to see her and know I wouldn't be where I am without her!

I've been working with Caite for almost three months using functional medicine to address my recent diagnosis with ulcerative colitis. While the prescription my GI doctor gave me helped some, I have found much more relief and even hope of full remission with the changes Caite has helped me make. I'd highly recommend giving functional medicine a shot!

I saw Caitlin for 2.5 years, while I finished grad school and went through treatments for multiple chronic illnesses. She was a constant source of warmth and support and an incredible resource for functional medicine advice as I navigated treatments. I don't know how I would've made so much progress in my health without her. Now that I've moved out of state I find myself regularly wishing I could schedule an appointment with her!

— 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 in perimenopause who needs HRT for her brain to function again is not the same as the perimenopausal woman with ADHD for whom progesterone may make everything worse. The fertility patient whose hormone labs look fine but whose detox pathways are overburdened will feel terrible with IVF. 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.
I was able to conceive within only two months of trying and I credit it all to her!
- Michelle L.
I cannot say enough good things about Caitlin!!! I am a 38 year with cystic fibrosis who started seeing Caitlin for fertility reasons. I was able to conceive within only two months of trying and I credit it all to her! She has also been so helpful with my CF symptoms thru this whole process. I highly recommend her!
Initial Consultation — $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 — 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 an included 30-minute follow up call to walk through the plan together and get you moving with clarity and confidence.
Follow Up Sessions — $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.

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 PCP 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 — and any truly effective treatment plan has to account for that. But I will also never tell you it's "just anxiety". You'll leave with concrete, practical, evidence-informed steps alongside the more energetic pieces.
I practice what I preach — 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 — 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
- Food sensitivities
- In-depth Celiac and gluten sensitivity
- SIBO
- Candida
- Parasites
- DUTCH comprehensive hormone panels
- Cortisol/adrenal testing
- Thyroid panels
- Epstein Barr Virus antibodies
- Heavy Metals
- Chemical toxicity
- Glyphosate levels
- Organic acids test (OAT)
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Autoimmune panels
- Mold exposure/mycotoxin levels
I have been able to stop taking SSRIs without experiencing the return of major depression symptoms
- Cassidy N.
I wish I could give 10 stars. I've been seeing Dr. Caite since 2019. I recently went back for a number of concerns, mental and physical, all of which are either far lessened or nonexistent 8 weeks later. I have been able to stop taking S.S.R.I.'s without experiencing the return of major depression symptoms. My digestion, sleep, and diet have improved. have a more regulated nervous system. I FEEL GOOD. (Which is a big deal for me.) I highly recommend to anyone interested in functional medicine and a more holistic approach to health care.
This is for you if...
trying to decide if this is a good fit?
A note on HSPs and healthcare:
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.
I’m passionate about being this person for you because I so badly needed a healthcare provider who was HSP-literate.

I came to Dr. Gordon with chronic neck and shoulder pain, sinus issues, digestive issues, anxiety and stress-induced insomnia... you name it. My body was shutting down and I had become completely disconnected. Frustrated and overwhelmed, I turned to a holistic approach. There is an entire delicate ecosystem that exists between our mind and body that gets far too overlooked. And to be frank, there are not enough stars to recommend Dr. Gordon in helping you make that connection. Thorough, informative, compassionate... everything a health practitioner should be. Her treatment plan 1000% improved my well being.

I've seen Dr. Caite for functional medicine for almost 2 years and my experience has truly been life-changing. She has helped me balance hormones, heal my gut, manage stress, and improve sleep quality. Her immense knowledge base and experience make her qualified to address any health concern from an integrative perspective. You can expect a thorough treatment plan that addresses diet, supplements, and self care routine to permanently fix the underlying problem. As a healthcare provider, I not only trust Dr. Gordon with my own health, but refer many of my patients to her as well.

Caitlin pays more attention to your symptoms than any other medical practitioner I've ever worked with. Instead of just going on autopilot and giving me the same advice everyone else does, she listened carefully and had unique insight into my symptoms that has resulted in the most successful healing regimen I have ever had. I recommend her for anyone seeking functional medicine, but especially for people that have felt frustrated working with other practitioners that don't really listen to them.

2 1/2 years ago I was hit with a huge health crisis. Fortunately I found Caitlin soon after and she has walked with me every step of the way through multiple treatments, surgeries, tests, scans, anxiety and depression. I can honestly say I could not have made it through without her enormous skill, talent, kindness, compassion and wonderful sense of humor. Her competency, knowledge, insight and sincerity have given me peace, relief and a new sense of appreciation for my body and my life.

I have been so impressed. It is clear that she is passionate about what she does, and embraces it. In other words, she not only talks the talk, she really, truly walks the walk. She works holistically, looking at not only the physical level, but mental, emotional, and spiritual levels as well. Each time I have seen her I feel safe, seen, and met. This leads to a profound treatment of not only the issues I have seen her for, but it ripples out into other areas of my life in such a great way. She has been a life changer!! I highly recommend her!!!

Caitlin has been the exact professional I needed to navigate IVF. She really listened to my concerns each time I came in and offered a positive attitude and support. She helped me get pregnant (yay!) and resolve some chronic back pain. She even recommended some natural remedies to treat chronic heart burn-- which helped me get off a medication I've been on for YEARS! I cannot recommend her modern practice enough. You will be comfortable and well cared for. She has never tried to "up sell" any services or products.

I am so pleased with the results of my treatment for GI issues by Dr. Gordon. After wrong diagnoses by two doctors, she was able to order the proper tests and administer the perfect recovery plan. I am feeling better now than I have in over 2 years. As a bonus, my mood and energy have improved and my anxiety is virtually gone. Every detail of Dr. Gordon’s treatment has exceeded expectations from her excellent website, communication, appointment scheduling and reminders and above all else, successful treatment plans.
