In this brief monologue, Dr. Severson, a naturopathic physician, explains her holistic approach to women’s health. She emphasizes that female hormones influence multiple aspects of wellbeing—including sleep, mood, stress response, and skin health—and that understanding these interconnections allows for a bigger‑picture, personalized treatment plan. Dr. Severson also stresses the importance of female empowerment and self‑advocacy, encouraging patients to recognize how they carry themselves daily and to speak up for their health needs in modern society.

Chapters

So working with women as a naturopathic doctor really means deep diving into what it means to be a female and for female empowerment as well. So that comes along with our female hormones and all of the different things that that can present us for how that presents for our sleep, for our mood, for for our stress, for our skin. There's so many different things that are interplayed with that. And it's been really wonderful, as an astropathic doctor, to be able to take a step back and really address that from a bigger picture. And then also as a female, for female empowerment, looking into how we carry ourselves in our day to day and how we can advocate for ourselves in today's society as well. So that's a really important conversation I have with all of my patients.
