Vital Signs Natural Health | Kirsten Kessler, ND, CNS, LDN

I am a naturopathic doctor in Gurnee helping women make sense of what feels off in their bodies.

Many of the women I work with have been told:

“Everything looks normal. This is just getting older.”

And yet they feel exhausted, bloated, foggy, or out of sync with their hormones.

I specialize in supporting women who are navigating:

• Persistent fatigue or unstable energy
• Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or reflux
• Perimenopause and menopause changes
• Irregular cycles or fertility questions 
• Brain fog and mood shifts
• “Normal” labs that do not explain how they feel

My approach is foundations-first.

We strengthen digestion, blood sugar regulation, sleep, and hormone function before chasing complex explanations or layering on trends.

What working together looks like:

• Comprehensive initial assessment
• Thoughtful, context-based lab interpretation
• Personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategy
• Clear sequencing so we know what is helping
• Practical plans designed to fit your real life

No trends. Just foundations.

My goal is simple: clarity, structure, and steady progress so you can feel capable and well in your everyday life.

Located in Gurnee, Illinois. In-person and virtual appointments available.
