Strengthen Your Body’s Stress Resilience
Stress doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it shows up in subtle ways that manifest as feeling sluggish in the mornings, crashing harder in the afternoons, and living with a kind of alertness that won’t settle in the evenings. These shifts aren’t personal failures; they’re physical responses that show how your body has been adapting to ongoing stress.
Working with a metabolic specialist in San Francisco like Dr. Zaré and her team turns those signals into a clearer story about what your system has been managing. With 20+ years of experience in naturopathic and integrative medicine, she offers the time, attention, and context needed to understand your patterns. The goal is to help you rebuild a steadier foundation with care that meets you exactly where you are.
Metabolic and adrenal support can help treat patterns related to:
-
Stress-related fatigue
-
Blood sugar fluctuations
-
Post-meal crashes and intense cravings
-
Brain fog
-
Low resilience after illness, travel, or burnout

Why Patients Believe in Us
Based on what you’re feeling, your provider chooses labs to answer meaningful questions. We review your cortisol rhythm, thyroid function, and blood sugar patterns together, always considering how your days actually feel.
Your plan reflects more than metabolic numbers. Digestion, inflammation, hormone shifts, nervous system strain, and movement all shape the next steps, so treatment supports your overall well-being at each step.
Your clinician provides insight into how stress, sleep, and metabolic changes influence energy and mood. Clear, calm guidance replaces urgency with understanding and helps you feel more in control between visits.

Testing isn’t mandatory, but it often clarifies patterns that symptoms alone can’t explain. As a part of treatment, your metabolic specialist in San Francisco, interprets cortisol levels, thyroid function, and blood sugar markers in context. That way, you can work together to map a clearer—and more compassionate—path forward.
Not always. Many patients improve through nutrition adjustments, nervous system support, and targeted supplementation such as B vitamins, minerals, or adaptogenic support. When hormone patterns clearly influence metabolism, your provider may integrate hormone support for weight loss alongside other strategies to reinforce stability.
Yes. Post-meal crashes often point to a blood sugar or cortisol imbalance. At the head of your care team is Dr. Zaré, one of our metabolic specialists in San Francisco. She and her team will study these shifts alongside your daily experience and may recommend nutrition adjustments or adrenal support to help your system regain steadiness.
