Hormone & Gut Healing for Women Who Are Done Guessing
The SoulSeed® Wellness program is a system of personalized 1:1 naturopathic care that addresses the root causes of hormone and gut imbalances.
The SoulSeed® Wellness program is designed for women who are ready for deeper & more personalized holistic healthcare.
Maybe you’re dealing with hormone shifts, fatigue, sleep changes, or digestive issues that don’t feel resolved.
Maybe you’ve tried supplements or protocols that never fully addressed the root issue.
You’re probably tired of guessing and want guidance you can trust.
You definitely value natural medicine but also want it grounded in research.
Whether you’re just beginning to notice changes in your cycle or navigating more complex midlife hormone shifts, this process meets you where you are.
You are NOT Alone. Here are Some Common Hormone & Gut Health Issues I Support Women With in My Naturopathic Healthcare Practice:
Painful and Irregular Periods: Heavy bleeding, cramping, and unpredictable cycles can make it difficult to plan your life and show up as your best self.
Perimenopausal Symptoms: This goes beyond hot flashes and night sweats. Perimenopause can impact your whole system, and it really can feel like everything just ‘changed overnight’ and you don’t feel like yourself anymore. This can impact sleep, mood, periods, hair & skin, libido, body composition, energy, and much more.
Fatigue and Brain Fog: Hormonal imbalances can leave you feeling exhausted and mentally drained, making it challenging to keep up with the demands of your career and personal life.
Mood Swings and Anxiety: The rollercoaster of hormonal fluctuations can lead to irritability, mood swings, depression and/or anxiety, which can impact your relationships, career, and overall well-being.
Weight Gain and Difficulty Losing Weight: Hormonal issues can make it feel nearly impossible to shed unwanted pounds that appear, despite no changes to your lifestyle.
General inflammation and discomfort: This can accumulate over time, and can show up as frequent headaches, joint aches and pains, tendonitis, swelling, muscle tension / pain, more frequent musculoskeletal injuries, slower recovery time, and more.
Hair loss and thinning: There are many factors that can contribute to hair shedding and thinning, including hormones, stress, nutrition, gut health (how well you’re absorbing your nutrients), inflammation, and more.
Bloating, Constipation, and IBS: Hormonal changes throughout your menstrual cycle and perimenopause can lead to uncomfortable digestive issues like bloating, constipation, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). These symptoms may fluctuate, making it difficult to know what foods to eat and when.
Acne and Skin Inflammation: Hormonal imbalances can trigger acne breakouts and skin inflammation that seem to sync up with your menstrual cycle. The constant battle with hormonal acne can be emotionally draining and may even impact your confidence in professional and social settings.
Headaches and Migraines: Many women experience debilitating headaches and migraines that are tied to their menstrual cycle. These hormonal headaches can range from a dull, constant ache to severe, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances
Sleep Problems: Changes to your sleep can indicate hormonal imbalances that lead to difficulty winding down and falling asleep, feeling more restless when you do fall asleep, or waking earlier than you used to.
Women often come to me when they’re feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. Sometimes they wonder if they'll ever find a solution that truly works, or if they’re simply destined to live with these struggles forever.
I understand the toll that these health challenges can take on your life.
I’ve worked with countless women who have faced these same challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand how the right approach can transform lives.
My approach to holistic healthcare is specifically designed to address the unique needs of women like you, providing a clear path to optimal health and wellbeing.
Hi! I’m Dr. Natalia Pellegrino
Minnesota-Licensed Naturopathic Doctor
I specialize in helping women uncover the root causes of hormone and gut imbalances through personalized, research-informed naturopathic care.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Your health story is unique. That’s why we take the time to look deeper — using advanced functional testing and comprehensive analysis to understand what’s truly driving your symptoms.
From there, I create a personalized health blueprint tailored to your body, your goals, and your life.
I created the SoulSeed® Wellness system of care after my years of experience seeing the life-changing impacts that can happen when we focus on establishing the foundations of health.

Why You’ll Love the SoulSeed® Wellness Program:
-
Advanced Functional Lab Testing:
I order comprehensive lab testing so we can test instead of guessing, and customize the plan to align perfectly with YOUR body's unique requirements.
-
Holistic Approach:
We’ll go beyond symptom management to address the intricate web of your health, considering factors like gut health, nutrition, detoxification, and mind-body balance.
-
Deeply Personalized Care:
I meet you where you are, and help you get to your unique health goals.
The Science Behind My Approach:
If you’re struggling with your hormones, your cycle, your digestive health, or unexplained symptoms, please know this:
You are not alone.
More than 50% of women experience period pain every single month. For many, it’s severe enough to disrupt work, relationships, and daily life.
Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women worldwide.
And in one survey, 72% of women reported feeling dismissed or gaslit by the medical system.
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” while your symptoms persist, I see you.
Nothing about what you’re experiencing is “all in your head.”
My work is grounded in both science and naturopathic principles.
I stay current on emerging research in women’s health (across both conventional and natural medicine) so your care plan is rooted in evidence.
But research alone isn’t enough.
It has to be applied thoughtfully, to your body, your history, and your life.
That’s where real healing begins.
The Pillars of the SoulSeed® Wellness Program:
-
Gut Health & Nutrition
Gut health and nutrition are the foundations for hormonal balance and overall well-being.
By assessing and repairing gut health, optimizing nutrition, and addressing nutrient deficiencies, this approach lays the groundwork for sustainable hormonal & gut health.
-
Detoxification
Open-up the detox pathways to support the body's natural detoxification processes.
Taking the burden off your detox organs (gut, liver, kidneys, lymphatics, and skin), helps to eliminate toxins and hormonal disruptors that can interfere with optimal hormone function.
-
Hormone Health
Assess and balance sex hormones, adrenals, thyroid, learn how to track your cycle and symptoms, and sync different lifestyle strategies from your first period to your last.
Balanced hormones leads to improved energy levels, mood, and libido, as well as clearer skin, easier periods, and much more.
-
Brain & Nervous System Health
The SoulSeed® approach recognizes the intricate connection between hormonal balance, gut health, and cognitive function.
By optimizing hormone and gut health, we optimize brain health, leading to enhanced mental clarity, improved memory, sharper focus, balanced mood, and a calm and resilient nervous system.
How the SoulSeed® Wellness Program Works:
This is a personalized program designed to uncover the root causes of hormone and gut imbalances and support your body through every phase of life. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Your journey begins with a comprehensive, 90 minute 1:1 consultation with me. During this 90-minute session, we’ll delve into your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and personal health goals. This in-depth exploration lays the foundation for your personalized plan of care.
-
To gain a clear picture of your unique health landscape, I will suggest specific functional lab tests, such as the DUTCH Complete hormone test, GI MAP stool analysis, and / or comprehensive blood panels. These tests provide valuable insights into the root causes of your hormonal imbalances, allowing for targeted treatment strategies.
-
Based on the findings from your initial session and functional lab results, I will create a personalized health blueprint tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive plan will include detailed recommendations for nutrition, targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, and holistic therapies to support your hormonal balance and overall well-being.
-
As you implement your personalized plan, you'll have four 1:1 follow-up sessions with me. These 60-minute sessions, scheduled over the course of 3-4 months, provide an opportunity to assess your progress, address any challenges, and fine-tune your plan as needed. I will be your guide and support system throughout your journey.
-
Throughout your SoulSeed® experience, you'll have access to a wealth of resources and support. This may include handouts, online resources, check in sheets with direct feedback from me, and lifestyle recommendations to empower you on your path to hormonal harmony. You'll also have the option to connect with me through a secure messaging platform for additional guidance and support between sessions.
Over time, this work goes beyond symptom relief.
With the SoulSeed® Wellness approach, you gain a clearer understanding of your body: how your hormones shift, how to maintain stable gut health, and how to support your health through every phase of life.
Here’s what patients have to say:
Why this work matters to me:
When I was in my late teens, I saw my first women’s health provider who prescribed birth control; I ended up having cystic acne, digestive issues, and other symptoms with it.
We tried switching to different types with no change, so I eventually went off it. Later tried it again but it led to worse symptoms, so I stopped it once again.
I had begun reading more about hormonal birth control and the fact that it was covering up my natural hormone rhythms (if only I knew then what I know now!).
When I asked my gyn about it, he said “it’s fine, it does not cause problems. Just come off it when you’re ready to have kids!”
I left the office feeling frustrated and dismissed; eventually decided to come off birth control for good since I never felt like myself on it, and that drove me further down the path of learning about hormone health and how to support my body naturally.
I’ve helped many women take charge of their health. You CAN support your body naturally and have balanced and healthy hormones!

This program is unique due to its personalized, holistic, 1:1 approach. I utilize advanced functional lab testing to uncover the root causes of your unique hormone & gut health imbalances and create a tailored plan that addresses your specific needs. This program goes beyond symptom management, focusing on sustainable, long-term solutions for optimal hormonal health.
-
In order for me to be your doctor and order labs, you do need to live in Minnesota, since this is where I’m licensed. All consultations are conducted virtually via ZOOM, so it doesn’t matter where in MN you live.
If you are not a Minnesota resident, I can still work with you, but as a wellness consultant vs. being your doctor. So for example, I can suggest options you can then bring to your own doctor to discuss. Please feel free to reach out to see how we can work together! -
Every woman's journey is unique, and results vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of hormonal imbalances and overall health status. Often we are initially focusing on improving more acute symptoms as we work on deeper underlying causes. However, most participants begin to notice positive changes within the first few weeks of implementing their personalized plan. Significant, long-lasting results are typically achieved within 3-6 months of consistent engagement with the program.
-
As a personalized & holistic care system, the SoulSeed® Wellness system of care is not covered by traditional insurance plans. This style of care allows me to spend much more time with you 1:1, order in-depth labs, and focus on addressing the root causes of your symptoms. The insurance model limits care to very short visits that work better for more acute and pressing needs and more transactional care, making it very difficult to actually address root causes. A perfect example: You develop a UTI, and you may end up needing antibiotics, so you go to your PCP or urgent care to have a urinalysis and get antibiotics. In our work together, the goal is to figure out what caused the UTI (especially if they are chronic), so we can help to prevent it in the future.
However, some participants may be able to use their HSA or FSA funds to cover a portion of the program costs. I encourage you to check with your insurance provider and tax advisor to determine what options may be available to you. -
I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you have any additional questions or concerns about the SoulSeed® Wellness approach, I invite you to schedule a complimentary discovery call. During this call, we'll have the opportunity to discuss your unique situation and determine if this system is the right fit for your needs.

Since this is holistic naturopathic care provided virtually, I am not able to provide primary care services. I always recommend that you maintain a good partnership with your trusted primary care provider for medical needs that may arise, including acute / urgent care, ordering imaging and basic screenings, and for prescribing any medications when needed. The added support from me via messaging between visits is meant to focus on supporting you with your holistic care plan, and is NOT meant to provide acute care support.
