What is Holistic Gynecology?
Ever wondered what Glenda the Witch meant by "You've always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself"? We focus on preventing and treating issues with natural and evidence-based methods that go beyond prescriptions. At OUI, through partnership, we empower you to be instrumental in your own healing.
Metabolic Health
Learning to tweak metabolic health to hone its impact is an art and a science. You can have so much fun and so much satisfaction from learning how to maximize the effect these techniques can have on your weight, sleep, workouts, and energy.
Brain Fog
Brain fog is an incredibly frustrating condition. It stalls the vitality of your life. It can affect your sense of presence in a professional or academic setting, or interpersonally with those you care about.
Menopause & Perimenopause
We address the basics of sleep, stress management, and nutrition/nutrient deficits. These areas have a profound effect on cultivating wellness during perimenopause.
Fatigue
Fatigue is a persistent, subjective sense of physical, emotional, and/or cognitive exhaustion that notably impacts your quality of life and daily desired functioning.
Heavy Periods
Poor sleep quality is not something to take lightly. It not only ruins your night, but your daytime energy, happiness, connectedness, and vitality as well.
Mood Swings
When not under excess stress, this system can balance itself without much hiccup or impact on the body and, in fact, is our friend. However, in the presence of excess stress (emotional, dietary, infectious, or others) the adrenal gland can be overtaxed.
Schedule Your Appointment
The first step to becoming a new patient is ensuring that we are a good fit for your needs. That begins with a free VIRTUAL DISCOVERY CALL with a member of the Oui Team. During the consultation, we will jointly determine whether we are well-positioned to help you with your needs, and if so, which practitioner is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lifestyle medicine?
Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, and science-based approach to medical care.
Integrative Health Matters offers functional medicine consultations for men and women. The team focuses on identifying all of the factors influencing your health, so they can uncover the root cause of your symptoms or disease.
By addressing the root cause of your condition instead of just the symptoms, you can address chronic disease more effectively. The team may find that one condition has many different causes.
As part of your treatment plan, the medical team targets each of the underlying causes of disease to relieve your symptoms and optimize your overall health.
What are some of the benefits of functional/integrative medicine?
The functional medicine services available at Integrative Health Matters empower you to address the underlying causes of disease.
They also help you understand how your lifestyle, genetics, and biochemical makeup influence your long-term health, so you can make changes now that benefit your health later.
Working closely with the Integrative Health Matters medical team, you may find long-term relief from your symptoms.
What can I expect during a holistic consultation?
During your consultation, you can expect to spend a lot of quality time with the doctor reviewing your health history and your medical concerns. Appointments typically last between 45-90 minutes depending on your needs.
The providers encourage you to do a lot of talking, so they can better understand the details of your personal and family history, the circumstances around your first symptoms, and your past experiences with other health care providers.
The medical team has extensive training to uncover the underlying causes of your health issues through open conversation, a physical exam, and laboratory testing.
Does Oui take insurance?
We work for who pays us. We choose to work for our patients so we do not take insurance. However, you are welcome to pay with your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds. Oui can generate a superbill, a detailed receipt, that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
