My Story
“We’re expected to cope, not question. But real healing starts when we stop accepting ‘just deal with it.’”
Hi, I’m Summer (梦圆) Xia, MS, RD, LDN—a registered dietitian and herbalist specializing in women’s health.
Like many women, I was taught to endure discomfort and minimize my symptoms. We’re told that painful periods are just part of womanhood, or that weight struggles are inevitable. But the truth is: none of that is normal, and none of it is your fault.
When I moved to the United States as a teenager, I left behind my Chinese roots—and with them, the Traditional Chinese Medicine that once saved my life as a child. I placed my full trust in Western medicine, believing every ache had a pharmaceutical solution. But I later realized that true healing isn’t about silencing symptoms—it’s about restoring balance and wholeness to the body.
My turning point came in college, when I began experiencing relentless fatigue. I dismissed it as stress until I was diagnosed with Grave’s disease, an autoimmune condition that sent my thyroid into overdrive. My symptoms—racing heart, anxiety, heat intolerance, acne, and hair loss—were frightening. The standard treatments offered were lifelong medication, radiation, or thyroid removal.
I couldn’t accept that as my only path.
During graduate school, I dove deep into nutrition, herbal medicine, and integrative healing—seeking answers that honored both science and tradition. Slowly, I began to heal through nourishment, stress regulation, and herbal support. That experience transformed not just my health, but my purpose.
Today, after nearly a decade of education and clinical experience, I help women who’ve been told to “just deal with it.” Whether you’re struggling with hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or autoimmune flares, I’ll help you uncover the root cause and support your healing through personalized nutrition and herbal therapy.
Healing isn’t about managing symptoms—it’s about feeling safe and whole in your body again.
You deserve to wake up calm, energized, and confident in your health.
Let’s take that step together.
