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 We Believe in Improving Metabolic Health

Supports Whole-Body Health

An overworked stress system strains blood sugar, hormones, and cardiovascular function. By addressing adrenal and metabolic patterns together, treatment helps your body shift out of survival mode and into a state where true recovery becomes possible.

Understanding Patterns Replaces Self-Blame With Insight

People often assume they should “push through” fatigue or cravings. Your provider helps reframe those symptoms by showing how sleep, hormones, digestion, and stress interact. That clarity makes change feel realistic and kinder to your body.

Guides Individualized Care

Instead of offering a generic protocol, your provider uses your symptoms, daily patterns, and lab results to identify which pathways need support most. This helps ensure your treatment focuses on the specific drivers affecting your metabolism.

Why Patients Believe in Us

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine sees metabolism as an ongoing conversation between stress, sleep, hormones, digestion, and the nervous system. When that conversation strains, energy, focus, and blood sugar often shift in ways that feel confusing or discouraging.

Working with a metabolic specialist in San Francisco at Zaré means exploring how stress, sleep, hormones, digestion, and the nervous system have interacted over time—not using a preset template. Your provider studies patterns first, then recommends support such as nutrition changes, targeted IV therapy, sleep strategies, or hormone collaboration when appropriate, using protocols designed by Dr. Zaré, ND, PharmD.
