How We Do Things Around Here: A Naturopathic Approach to Women’s Health

If you’re new here or if it’s been a while since you’ve visited my blog—I’d like to take a moment to reintroduce myself and share how we do things around here. I’m Dr. Erin Ellis, a licensed naturopathic doctor, and I help women regain energy, fix crappy periods, and balance hormones by getting to the root cause of their health challenges. My focus is supporting women who are tired of quick fixes, endless supplements, or feeling “off” despite doing everything “right.”

Around here, we don’t just treat symptoms. We look at the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—to uncover the underlying causes of fatigue, hormonal imbalances, irregular cycles, and other frustrating symptoms. That means when I work with women struggling with these challenges, I don’t start with restrictive diets or cookie-cutter programs. Instead, I start by understanding your unique body and prioritizing what will truly help you feel better.

Here’s a closer look at how we do things around here and why it works.

Step 1: Understanding Your Unique Body

The first step in my naturopathic approach is a thorough assessment of your body, lifestyle, and health patterns. We look beyond lab numbers and focus on what really matters: energy levels, menstrual cycles, stress response, digestion, and sleep. This gives us the insight to create a truly personalized plan.

Step 2: Identify Your Health Priorities

Next, we focus on what matters most to you. Whether your goal is restoring energy, balancing hormones, improving periods, or reducing stress, your priorities guide the roadmap.

Common Mistake: Trying to fix everything at once. Holistic health works best when we tackle one area at a time for lasting results.

Step 3: Create a Personalized Naturopathic Roadmap

With a clear understanding of your body and priorities, we design a personalized naturopathic roadmap. This step-by-step plan includes nutrition, herbal and natural medicine support, lifestyle adjustments, stress management, and mindset practices—all tailored to your unique needs.

Step 4: Implement Sustainable Habits

Once your roadmap is ready, we focus on practical, sustainable habits. Quick fixes or drastic measures rarely last. Instead, we implement small, actionable steps that build momentum over time.

Tips for Success:

• Start with one habit at a time to avoid overwhelm.
• Track your progress weekly to see what works.
• Celebrate small wins—they add up and boost motivation.

Step 5: Monitor and Adjust

Life is always changing, and so are your health needs. Part of my naturopathic philosophy is continuous monitoring and adjustment. We review your progress, tweak the roadmap, and ensure your body and hormones are thriving.

Best Practices:

• Schedule regular check-ins.
• Keep a log of symptoms, energy, and menstrual cycles.
• Prioritize stress management and sleep, they are crucial for hormone balance.

Step 6: Build a Supportive Community

Healing and thriving are easier when you’re supported. Around here, I encourage women to connect with like-minded people, share wins, and learn from each other’s experiences. Feeling heard and supported is a key part of lasting wellness.

That’s why we have the Hope Circle Community a safe, encouraging space where women can share their journey, celebrate successes, and get guidance from others who truly understand what it’s like to balance energy, hormones, and overall health. Being part of this community helps you feel connected, motivated, and empowered every step of the way.

Additional Tips for Women’s Health

2. Listen to Your Body: Your body signals what it needs—tune in and respond.
3. Stay Curious: Experiment, observe, and adjust without judgment.
4. Prioritize Rest: Recovery, relaxation, and sleep are essential—not optional.

At the heart of how we do things around here is a naturopathic philosophy: personalized, practical, and focused on getting to the root cause. From understanding your body to creating a roadmap, implementing habits, and adjusting along the way, every step is designed to help you regain energy, fix crappy periods, and balance your hormones.
