Functional Medicine for Women’s Health in Portland, OR.

I’m Chelsie Moore, MS, CNS, a Functional Medicine Clinician and Integrative Nutritionist based in Portland Oregon specializing in Integrative Women’s Health.

As a board certified and Licensed Nutritionist, I work with women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and not quite like themselves anymore.

Most of the women I see are doing everything “right” on paper but still feel tired, anxious, inflamed, or out of sync with their bodies. Often, they’re also carrying the mental load of caring for everyone else, which only adds to the depletion.

My work is about helping you understand what’s actually going on in your body during this season of life and what you can realistically do to feel better.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

I didn’t come into this work from theory alone.

Like many of my clients, I experienced my own season of burnout, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, a mild brain injury, and feeling disconnected from my body. Both my mother and grandmother were menopausal by their early 40s and I began my perimenopause journey early in life as well. These experiences changed how I see health, not as something to optimize perfectly, but something to support gently and realistically over time. I understand BOTH: women’s physiology/hormones AND the reality of motherhood and feeding a family.

This experience also shaped how I work with women now: less pressure, more clarity, and a focus on what actually fits into real life.

MY APPROACH

I take a functional, whole-body approach to nutrition, but I keep things simple & realistic. We’ll work on lowering your body’s overall stress burden to lessen symptoms as well as leveraging specific nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic remedies to ease symptoms more immediately. I consider my job well done when I’ve also educated you on women’s physiology to help you understand what is going on in your body. Knowledge is power!

I have done extensive training in Women’s Integrative Health & Perimenopause/Menopause care and am effectively able to help you understand what natural options may help support symptoms as well as understand what your options are for a Hormone Therapy referral should we deem that path the best option.

This all to say, we focus on:

• supporting energy and blood sugar in a steady way

• understanding hormone shifts at every life stage, from fertility and postpartum through perimenopause and menopause

• looking at the root causes behind your symptoms, including thyroid, insulin, stress and gut health

• identifying nutritional imbalances with targeted lab testing where it's useful

• healing the gut

• reducing overwhelm around food and daily routines

• making changes that feel realistic, not extreme

• supporting your nervous system, not just your nutrition

No rigid plans. No perfection. No overwhelm.

Just steady, practical support that meets you where you are.
