Sara Zare Kavkani, ND

I've been a patient of Dr. Zare for about 5 years.  I had eczema which turns out can be a result of digestive issues and leaky gut.  We resolved that which is a process, give yourself at least 6 months on the protocols.  This past year, peri-menopause has resulted in low energy, weight gain, less sleep, and hot flashes.  Because I had breast cancer we are cautious about adding in hormones but once all my levels really dropped, HCG was a great way to help balance and reset my hypothalamus to my ideal weight and get my metabolism up again. I reached my goal of 10 lbs in 20 days - it may not seem like much weight at all, but it's about 8-10% of my body weight, imagine losing 10% of your body weight around your abdomen, or that it's the hardest and last 10 lbs you're trying to lose, It makes a big difference in how clothes fit and how I feel.  Now I'm going on bio-identical progesterone as it can help me sleep better, increase protection from breast and uterine cancer as well as osteoporosis, ovarian cysts, and fibrocystic disease - bring it on!  I don't want to "deal" with this aging process, I want to understand it and find the best holistic treatments to feel great - Dr. Zare has been an integral part of this process and I'm happy to have found her.
