I'm so glad you're here! I know finding the right practitioner is a big decision. Below are answers to the questions I hear most often from women who want to learn more about working with me.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Gut-Hormone Reset Program?
How is your approach different from other hormone programs?
I don’t chase symptoms, I meet them head-on by addressing root causes. My unique “East meets West” approach combines functional nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. While many practitioners focus solely on hormone replacement or symptom management, I’ve found that unless you address underlying gut and digestive issues, you’ll never truly balance your hormones. My approach has helped thousands of women achieve lasting results, not just temporary relief.
Do I need to live in Atlanta to work with you?
No! My practice is completely virtual, which means you can access all of my services from anywhere in the United States. Whether you’re in Atlanta or across the country, we’ll work together through telehealth sessions. This allows you to get the support you need from the comfort of your own home.
What conditions do you treat?
I specialize in helping women with hormonal and digestive challenges—including PCOS, infertility, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause symptoms, IBS, weight resistance, and autoimmune disorders.
If you’re dealing with irregular periods, unexplained infertility, chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues like gas and bloat, acne, or stubborn weight that won’t budge despite your best efforts, my programs help you address the root causes so you can reclaim your health.
What does the initial consultation include?
Your initial telehealth session is 90 minutes and includes a comprehensive health history review, assessment of your current symptoms and challenges, review of any relevant lab work, a customized anti-inflammatory dietary approach, supplement recommendations, and lab recommendations if needed. This is where we dig deep to understand your unique situation and create a personalized action plan to begin your healing journey.
Is The Gut-Hormone Reset Program a DIY program or do I work directly with you?
You work directly with me! While The Gut-Hormone Reset Program is structured and includes educational materials, you’ll have ongoing support through follow-up sessions. After your initial session, I’ll recommend a series of follow-up sessions (45 or 90 minutes) to guide you through implementation, adjust your protocol as needed, and support you in reaching your health goals.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance, but I do accept Health Care FSA (HCFSA) payments. Many clients find that using their FSA funds makes my services more accessible. Please contact me directly at 917-837-3547 or info@megrichichi.com if you have questions about payment options.
Do I need lab testing to get started?
No lab testing is required before your initial consultation. During our first 90-minute session, we’ll complete a comprehensive assessment of your health history and current symptoms. Based on what we uncover, I may recommend specific functional lab tests that provide a clear roadmap of what’s driving your symptoms—revealing gut health markers, inflammatory markers, toxic burden, nutritional deficiencies, and food sensitivities. This personalized approach means we’re only running labs that matter for your unique situation, so I can create a truly targeted protocol based on real findings instead of guesswork. We’ll discuss the recommended tests, what they reveal, and your next steps.
What's included in the Gut-Hormone Reset program?
The Gut Hormone Reset Program is based on principles from my book “Gut Health Beyond The Belly” and includes a structured protocol for healing your gut, rebalancing your hormones, personalized nutrition guidance, supplement recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support through follow-up sessions. The exact structure will be customized during your initial consultation based on your unique needs.
I've tried everything. How do I know this will work for me?
I get it! Many of my clients have spent years, and thousands of dollars on treatments that didn’t work, only to feel more frustrated and defeated. Here’s what’s different: we’re not guessing, and we’re not just managing symptoms. We’re identifying exactly what’s driving your symptoms and healing it at the source—the foundation.
When you repair your gut and address the underlying factors like diet, stress, and lifestyle habits that trigger inflammation, your body does what it’s designed to do—balance hormones, restore energy, clear brain fog, and finally respond to the efforts you’ve been making all along.
This isn’t a quick fix or a band-aid. It requires commitment and active participation. But if you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start seeing real results, let’s talk. During your complimentary discovery call, we’ll discuss your specific situation and whether this approach is the right fit for you.
Can you help with Infertility and PCOS?
Absolutely. Infertility and PCOS are two of my specialty areas, and I focus heavily on the gut-hormone connections that’s so critical to both.
Many women with Infertility and PCOS have underlying gut health issues, toxic burden, stress and lifestyle factors that drive inflammation and fuel their symptoms. Gut health also profoundly impacts fertility by affecting hormone production, egg quality, and implantation.
I’ve helped countless women improve their fertility outcomes and address their PCOS challenges through holistic, root-cause healing. I don’t chase symptoms—I meet them head-on so you can move forward with your life.
What's your background and training?
I’ve been a Holistic Women’s Health Practitioner and Board Certified Acupuncturist for the past 30 years. I’ve studied extensively in the United States and abroad with renowned physicians, herbalists, and master acupuncturists, with ongoing certifications in functional medicine and holistic nutrition. My international studies have included healing practices in the Brazilian Rainforest, Mexico, Ireland, and Vietnam. I’m also the creator of The Hormone Lifestyle Zone Podcast and author of “Gut Health Beyond The Belly.” My unique background allows me to blend Eastern and Western approaches for comprehensive, holistic healing through nutrition, lifestyle, and functional medicine.
When is your book "Gut Health Beyond The Belly" available?
My book Gut Health Beyond The Belly releases in February 2026, and it’s a game-changer. You’ll discover how gut health impacts everything from brain function to those chronic symptoms you can’t seem to shake—plus actionable strategies to start healing now. The book’s principles are the foundation of my Gut-Hormone Reset Program, because real hormone balance, optimal health and longevity starts in the gut.
