Why Most Women Struggle to Get the Care They Need

DTS_CURATIVE_Chris_Abatzis_Photos_ID7679 (1).jpg
DTS_CURATIVE_Chris_Abatzis_Photos_ID7696.jpg

How many times have you seen a medical provider and been sent away with a prescription along with, “let’s try this and see what happens”?

This trial and error can cost you time, energy, money, and even your long-term health. Not only that, but the risks are unnecessary because we have ways to remove the guesswork.

 

At Naturamed, we use gold-standard functional lab testing, including:

 

  • Comprehensive hormone panels – Identifies imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and DHEA.

  • Gut microbiome analysis – Links gut health to hormone balance, metabolism, and inflammation.

  • Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) – Provides real-time insights into blood sugar stability and metabolic health.

  • Advanced biomarker testing – Detects inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function.

Traditional medicine often misses early hormonal and metabolic dysfunction because standard labs use outdated reference ranges that don’t reflect what’s optimal for you.

At Naturamed, we take a different approach.

We cannot wait to help you transform your health naturally.

Women who work with us have achieved

More energy

Better sleep

Easier periods

Less anxiety

Balanced blood sugars

Calm digestion

Easier weight loss

More stress resilience

Because they finally committed to an approach that gets to the root cause.

  • Have you focused so much on your career, business, or family that your health has taken the back seat?

 

  • Are you doing all the right things (nutrition, workouts, yoga, you-name-it) but it’s not working?

 

  • Do you know about functional medicine and love the idea of advanced diagnostic testing?

You’re probably extremely resourceful and just need a qualified doctor who has the expertise to connect the dots. 

If that sounds like you, we can help.

Your symptoms are NOT unrelated

Conventional medicine loves to separate the body into parts. You go to the gastroenterologist for your gut, the endocrinologist for your thyroid, and the gynecologist for your female parts.

rear-view-shirtless-woman-standing-against-gray-background.jpg

But what if all of these are related?

 

In functional medicine, we know that it’s impossible to heal your hormones without also healing your gut. Or to heal your metabolism without also healing your hormones. Or to heal your (biggest health concern) without also healing (your smallest). 

 

Our bodies are beautifully complex in their wisdom. 

 

Finally, with functional medicine, we have a repeatable system to make sense of it all.

I can’t wait to support you.

Dr. Karolina here. I started my career in the conventional system, becoming a board-certified MD in internal medicine. I worked at one of the top-rated medical institutions in the country (and came close to becoming a gastroenterologist!).  

 

But when I saw a pattern of the same patients coming back to the hospital again and again, getting worse despite our prescriptions, I knew there had to be a better way. 

 

I found a better way with functional medicine. 

 

The AlignHer Method is based on a decade plus of honing my skills in functional medicine and working with women committed to an approach that not only gets symptom relief but also creates long-lasting health, wellness, and vitality over time. 

 

I look forward to you being the next of those amazing women. 
 

Frequently asked questions

  • Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. It integrates advanced diagnostic testing with personalized treatment plans that consider the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, such as digestion, hormones, and metabolism.

  • This program is uniquely designed for women in their late 30s to 50s who are struggling with hormone imbalances, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic changes—and who want a science-backed, personalized approach to feeling their best. 

  • The program supports women dealing with perimenopause and menopause symptoms, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, gut imbalances, chronic inflammation, and stubborn weight issues that haven’t responded to traditional diets or treatments.

  • The InBalance Method™  is a comprehensive program designed to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and guide you through a personalized healing journey.

  • The InBalance Method includes comprehensive biomarker testing, such as:
    ✔ GI-MAP – Analyzes gut microbiome and digestive health
    ✔ Comprehensive Blood Panel – Assesses inflammation, thyroid health, metabolic markers and much more.

  • Most testing can be done from the comfort of your home, including hormone and gut health assessments. Blood work can be drawn at a local lab or through our convenient mobile phlebotomy service.

  • The InBalance Method™ is an 10–12-month journey designed to help you heal at the root and sustain lasting results.​

  • Your investment covers far more than just appointments — it’s the start of a complete transformation.

    With The InBalance Method, you’ll gain:

    • A clear understanding of why you’ve been feeling the way you do through advanced lab testing and a full root-cause analysis.

    • A personalized, doctor-guided plan that targets your specific imbalances.

    • Hands-on support from our team — including physician visits, health coaching, and mind-body treatments — to help you implement changes that actually last.

    • Visible improvements in energy, mood, digestion, sleep, and overall balance within just a few months.

    It’s an investment in clarity, confidence, and a healthier future — not another temporary fix.

  • No. This is a complete care plan, not a subscription service.
    Your monthly payments are part of a full-program investment, not a month-to-month agreement.

  • We reserve time, lab orders, practitioner care, coaching, and clinic resources for the full length of your program — your spot is secured for the duration. Partial participation or early departure does not release you from the financial agreement.

  • We do allow a one-time, 30-day pause in rare hardship cases. A restart admin fee of $75 applies, and payments will resume automatically at the end of that pause.

  • Because your healing journey requires consistency. We commit our time, resources, and expertise to your success — and we ask the same in return.

  • Functional medicine and specialized testing are not typically covered by insurance. However, HSA/FSA funds may be used for certain services. We focus on comprehensive care that delivers real, lasting results—beyond what standard insurance-based medicine provides.

  • Getting started is simple! Begin by completing our quick InBalance Form, which helps our team learn more about your symptoms and goals.
