I guide you to find your balance holistically
I’m Franchesca Lucía, a Venezuelan naturopathic doctor with a strong interest in holistic health, especially women’s health.
I am dedicated to enhancing the relationship women have with their bodies, their lives, and their symptoms by understanding how their menstrual cycle and hormones work. Our menstrual cycle is a vital sign that helps us assess our overall health, as it reflects the behavior of our hormones over an approximately 29-day cycle.
I am licensed in North Dakota, which gives me access to specialized laboratory tests such as the DUTCH test and the GI-MAP.

CEO & Founder
I guide women to take control of their well-being.
My goal is to educate women about how our bodies function. I aim to contribute to expanding women’s awareness by understanding that we are cyclical beings. I want to empower women to find their balance, both hormonal and internally, through a holistic approach that integrates mind and body, using natural and personalized therapies to promote their well-being.
My vision is to create a community of thousands of women who feel more at ease with who they are and in harmony with their bodies.
My Story
My interest in holistic medicine began when I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries at 16. I was told it was a lifelong condition that could be managed with birth control pills. Driven by curiosity, I decided to research this condition and realized the significant role nutrition plays in preventing and developing various diseases. That’s when my passion for nutrition was born.
In 2019, I graduated in Nutrition from Florida International University in Miami. However, while studying nutrition, I felt something was missing. I wanted to expand my knowledge to a more holistic approach, considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person. In my search, I discovered naturopathic medicine. From the start, I fell in love with its philosophy, which is based on the body’s ability to heal itself.
This led me to move to Illinois to start my career as a naturopathic doctor at National University of Health Sciences. During the first year of my studies, I developed digestive issues, such as abdominal bloating (everything I ate made my abdomen swell). Additionally, I felt constantly tired, anxious, unmotivated, and low in energy, to the point where I stopped exercising and wanted to lie down most of the time. I felt very sad. However, this situation became a blessing as it showed me firsthand that, while taking care of the physical body is important, caring for the emotional body is equally FUNDAMENTAL. Good nutrition alone was not making me feel better. I even thought I wasn’t being “perfect” enough nutritionally and that the stricter I was with myself, the better I would feel. A huge mistake.
I am currently studying acupuncture and oriental medicine to complement my naturopathic medicine studies. I know this will become an invaluable tool in my career!
Through my own experience, I learned that the first step towards health is self-compassion. Symptoms are an expression not only of our physical body but also, of our emotional body, trying to communicate an unmet need or a limiting belief that’s holding us back. Now, from my experience and years of studying, I would love to help you through your wellness journey.
My values
In addition to the holistic approach of naturopathic medicine, which considers all areas of a person (nutrition, physical activity, emotional health, circadian rhythm, digestive health, etc.), I uphold values related to compassion, balance, empathy, education, innovation, community, and integration.

What Sets Me Apart?
Digestible Information (Education)
I simplify complex medical concepts and present them in an easy-to-understand way for those without a medical background. Rather than overwhelming you with a mass of instructions to "improve health," my goal is to explain the "why" behind adopting beneficial habits and the potential uncomfortable results of not doing so. Education facilitates the process of change.
Simplicity
Improving health starts with taking the first step, which is often the hardest part. Many functional and naturopathic medicine professionals provide extensive information without a practical system for applying it. My approach is simple: educate, set an intention, and implement flexible habits to achieve that intention. For women, this approach considers the phase of their cycle to tailor the implementation of habits.
Personalization
Each person intuitively knows what they need to work on. Therefore, I understand how crucial it is to listen carefully to patients and ask the right questions. They guide me in focusing on the determinants health where there is an imbalance, ensuring a tailored approach.
Understanding the Process of change
Change is not about willpower or discipline but about clarity and compassion. True change comes from "being," not just "doing." Many coaches, doctors, and health professionals focus on actions rather than addressing the underlying issues, leading to a lack of structure and difficulty in following recommendations.
