Functional Medicine, Hormone & Perimenopause Care in Downers Grove, IL
Ongoing symptoms can become harder to understand when changes in energy, digestion, sleep, hormones, and overall well-being begin happening at the same time. Nourish House Calls provides personalized, root-cause care in Downers Grove through house calls, appointments at our Westmont office, and telehealth. Functional medicine shapes the overall direction of care, giving patients support that considers their health as a whole. Whether concerns involve perimenopause, menopause, hormone health, or other persistent issues, care is centered on individual needs and goals.
Still leaving appointments without a clear sense of why you feel the way you do? Our functional medicine approach looks beyond symptom management to explore possible root causes and determine what needs attention. Care begins with a 90-minute initial visit covering your health history, current concerns, medications, lifestyle, previous testing, and goals. In-depth lab testing can then provide additional insight and help guide a treatment plan tailored to your needs. For Downers Grove patients seeking a functional medicine practitioner, this framework supports care across hormone health, perimenopause and menopause, chronic conditions, and healthy aging.
Perimenopause Therapy Services
Changes in your 30s or 40s can show up as irregular periods, restless sleep, new anxiety, lower energy, mood shifts, or difficulty concentrating before you realize perimenopause has begun. Our perimenopause therapy helps Downers Grove women understand these changes through comprehensive hormone and metabolic testing. Results help guide treatment based on your symptoms, while conventional and natural therapy options are considered so you have clear information about what may be appropriate for your health, what each option involves, and what the evidence supports.
Heavy or changing periods in perimenopause: Shifts in hormone levels can change how often periods occur as well as their flow and duration. Heavier or prolonged bleeding, however, should still be properly evaluated because hormones are not the only possible cause. Symptoms and test results are considered together to determine what support may be helpful, with specialist care recommended when further evaluation is needed.
Menopause Therapy Services
Physical and emotional changes during menopause can affect sleep, energy, mood, concentration, and body temperature. Our menopause care uses nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate to support these changes. Care can continue from earlier hormonal changes through perimenopause and menopause, giving women ongoing support as symptoms and health needs evolve over time.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Both women and men can experience hormone-related changes that affect energy, libido, sleep, weight, mood, and how they feel day to day. Our individualized BHRT uses bioidentical hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. Detailed testing guides the start of treatment, followed by regular monitoring and adjustments based on laboratory results, symptoms, and goals. Our practice has worked with the same trusted compounding pharmacies for 15 years, supporting a consistent approach to the hormone care we provide.
Additional Health Concerns We Support
Hormone health is one area of functional medicine, but it is not the only reason Downers Grove patients come to us. We also support concerns such as chronic fatigue, digestive problems, thyroid disorders, autoimmune concerns, sleep disturbances, mood-related symptoms, and weight management. This gives patients support for persistent concerns that can affect daily health alongside hormone-related needs. Learn more about the conditions we support and the areas of health we address.
In-Home & Mobile IV Therapy in Downers Grove
Receiving IV treatment does not always have to mean rearranging your day around an office visit. Downers Grove patients can receive mobile IV therapy at home or at the workplace, with in-office treatment also available at our Westmont location. Options include the Recharge blend for hydration and energy support and NAD+ for cellular support. Experienced registered nurses administer each IV treatment throughout our house-call service area, so care remains accessible without unnecessary travel.
Stem Cell Therapy
Joint pain, tendon or ligament injuries, and chronic degeneration can make it harder to stay active and move comfortably. Stem cell therapy uses Wharton’s Jelly and purified amniotic fluid injections to support the body’s natural healing response. For Downers Grove patients, treatment may be considered alongside or before surgery or long-term steroid injections. Products are sourced from FDA-inspected labs with healthy donor screening, and each treatment plan is shaped around the affected joint, injury, and individual goals.
Regenerative & Longevity Medicine
Regenerative and longevity medicine extends beyond joint-focused stem cell therapy. Downers Grove patients can also access peptide therapy, NAD+ IV nutrition, and other cellular-support treatments designed to support healthy aging, energy, and vitality. Longevity care is intended for patients who want to take a more proactive view of their health while considering both current needs and future wellness goals.
Membership for Continued Care and Support
Our membership model is designed for Downers Grove patients who want a consistent way to continue their functional medicine care. Membership includes specialized labs, personalized care plans, provider access, hormone and peptide prescriptions, nutritional IVs, and discounts on additional services. It also provides predictable pricing, making ongoing support easier to plan. Patients who prefer individual services can still access IV therapy, stem cell therapy, and ozone therapy without becoming a member.

Her training includes the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) program, along with additional education through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

She is joined by Ajaa Oliver, MSN, FNP-BC, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of bedside nursing experience. Together, the team works with Downers Grove patients to understand their concerns, evaluate possible contributing factors, and guide care according to individual health needs.
Nourishing House Calls has been life-changing for me.
Joya and her team helped me regain my energy and feel like myself again after struggling with menopause symptoms. They’re incredibly compassionate and take the time to explain lab results in a way that’s easy to understand. I finally feel empowered and informed about what’s going on in my body. Their approach is truly holistic focusing on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and using supplements or medications only when necessary. I’m so grateful for… More the care and support I’ve received. Highly recommend!
I have been a client with Joya and what brought me to her was the way she looks at the body as a whole. I have never felt rushed by her or not validated. Recently I experienced back pain - which was a result of a slip disk at L4 and it was recommended by the doctor to get a steroid injection. This didn’t sit right with me- I talked to Joya and we decided to do a PRP shot. Within a few days my back stopped hurting and I was able to return to normal activities. Joya is also great when it comes to BHRT-… More she really listens and works with you to make sure you are getting the right dose. My experience thus far has succeeded anything I could have imagined
I cannot recommend Joya enough for anyone looking for a compassionate and highly skilled nurse to administer IV boosts. From the moment you meet her, it's clear how much she genuinely cares about her patients. She brings a warm and calming presence to every session, making the entire experience so much more comfortable.
What truly sets Joya apart is her empathy and delicate approach. She’s incredibly gentle, ensuring that the IV is administered with the utmost care and precision. Throughout… More the process, she checks in frequently to make sure you’re feeling okay, and her attention to detail is unmatched.
If you're nervous about IV treatments, Joya is the perfect person to trust. Her professionalism, combined with her caring nature, makes her a standout nurse. I always leave feeling not only better physically but also reassured that I'm in the best hands.
Joya is a wonderful human and it comes through in the care she provides her patients. She is empathetic, truly LISTENS, and provides a variety of options of care to help best determine what works for the uniqueness of each patient who turn to her for help. I’ve worked with Joya for several years to help manage my chronic symptoms and have been able to get to a place, with her help, where I can handle things much better than when I started. Thank you, Joya, for everything!
I cannot say enough good things about Joya! As a fellow medical provider it was a breath of fresh air to have thorough testing done AND even more thorough explanation of results and a reasonable plan to start fixing the problems to get to the point of feeling well again and to live a healthy and long life....but HEALTHY is key! I am so grateful to my patient that told me about Joya and I will continue to tell all of my patients why they need to see her and will quickly have my husband and daughter… More start seeing her as well! If you are tired of our "normal" medical field failing you then you need to take the next step and see a provider like Joya that really dives into the data and gets down to the "why" behind it all!! Thank you Joya...I am looking forward to the months to come and the journey I will be going on to a healthier version of myself as I am on this fun peri-menopause journey!!
Great experience! Joya is a fellow dedicated health enthusiast and extremely knowledgeable! She was able to help me dial in on what vitamins would work best for my needs. I highly recommend her and Nourish House Calls to everyone for your IV needs!
I came to Joya with a severe bulging L5S1 in my back. I had gone the route of traditional medicine for close to a year. Physical therapy, pain meds, steroid shots. All were temporary fixes and the debilitating pain just kept coming back. She recommended platelet rich plasma injections in the area around the disc to help the discs actually heal. Went through 3 rounds of this, the last of which was just a week ago. While the healing effects will continue to set in for at least the next 6 months,… More it is extremely evident this treatment is working. I can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend anyone who has experienced issues similar to mine give this treatment with nourish home house calls a chance.
Joya at Nourish House Calls has been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable in helping me address long-standing sleep issues. After trying countless solutions—from supplements to lifestyle changes to medications—Joya’s personalized approach has finally made a real difference.
Her expertise and genuine care set her apart, making her an invaluable resource for anyone struggling with complex health concerns. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Joya!
Nourished House Calls, and Joya specifically, truly understand the meaning of personalized nutrition for peak performance. She took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and goals, creating a plan perfectly tailored to me. I highly recommend her!
1week post knee replacement surgery
Nourish house calls sent Jenny to do infusion. She was very professional
kind and carrying. The IV was quick.
I felt better right away and my knee
has shown marked improvement. Joint pain is much improved.
I am up walking unaided 1 week. Looking forward to the next visit.
Joya’s excellent care has been life changing for our family and we highly recommend her to everyone who is looking to get to the root cause of their health struggles. She’s quick to respond to questions or concerns and her team is highly professional!
Joya is wonderful to work with! I’m so grateful for her expertise and care in getting to the root of issues and guidance toward better health. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak to.
Can't say enough great things about Nourish House Calls. Joya takes the time to listen to you and understand what's going on and not just quickly prescribe something. I've been able to uncover issues such as a gluten intolerance and inflammation and that have been easy to resolve with changes to diet and exercise.
I appreciate Joya's thoroughness with her treatment. She explores updated options and stays knowledgeable about recent research to best target and individualize treatment. She and her team is quick to respond to questions and to help. The labwork is thorough and guides the recommendations. I appreciate the flexibility of options for appointments and IV's.
Joya’s knowledge of having experience in the medical field as well as the holistic field has really helped me. She is so knowledgeable from being a nurse and knows exactly what to look out for. In just two sessions with her I have a much better outlook on my life/ability to get better. I started to have some serious health issues that she is getting under control. A serious problem I had has already stopped. I finally feel like I have the tools I need to heal. Thank you ♥️
Joya is incredible!! I had just gotten over the flu and she recommended IV treatments. I felt better immediately and that night I slept better than I had in weeks. The process was painless and professional. Her staff was also very helpful.
To say Joya saved my life, feels like an understatement. I felt horrendous when I came to see Joya. I had just finished my first 3 day water fast and severely malnourished and dehydrated. The level of education and kindness i experienced from Joya when she knew I have never done an IV drip before was wonderful and put me at ease. SHE WAS SO PATIENT WITH ME. I would do it again. I did the hydration package as well as NAD. By the end of the two bags, I felt back to normal. That's insane. Within… More hours!!! I am sooo incredibly thankful for you Joya. I learned so much for you and you made the experience enjoyable, and I felt better than ever!! When are you coming back to AZ? Also, for those reading, Joya was invited to a conference to do IV drips which is a gamechanger for people spending 3 days in a conference and tons of travel. Thank you Joya!!
Joya is so approachable and really wants to get to the root cause of any ailment. She is so detailed, smart, and kind in her approach with kids too. She listens well and cares in a holistic way. Highly recommend her!
Nourish House Calls is amazing! I just did my first vitamin drip with them and they were extremely knowledgable and super helpful. I would highly recommend giving them a try.
My functional doctor moved out of state and I needed to find a new provider that was trained in functional medicine, prescribes natural thyroid meds, and treats the whole body understanding it is all connected! Joya is like a walking encyclopedia when it comes to health. She is so easy to talk with and no ego like some doctors have when you ask questions. She does all kinds of gut testing, food sensitivity testing, hormone testing, etc. She also does vitamin IVs in her office, plus a lot of other… More treatments (Stem Cells, PRP, ozone).
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! She is a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner and so in Il can prescribe meds. She does house calls in some areas around Downers/Naperville area. I see her in her office in Downers Grove right on 63rd & Main Street. She also does Zoom visits. She provides me with a Superbill to send to insurance. You get her FULL attention for your time slot. She has membership options as well that come with a lot of her services and discounts. But you can also pay per visit.
I can’t say enough good things about Joya! She’s like a medical detective. She has helped me with so many different issues. She’s also very understanding and thoughtful. The world needs more practices like hers!
I have known Joya for a few years now. I turned to Joya for help when I was not getting the answers I needed from our family doctor. I am grateful for Joya's commitment to pursuing the answers to my health concerns, not only for myself but for my 13-year-old daughter.
I met Joya quite a few years ago, I had been seeing a doctor who had retired and my compounding pharmacy recommended her. She took right over, we met and I liked her immediately. She's excellent and so knowledgeable, I trust her suggestions for care, testing, supplements, hormone therapy and information. I also have most of my testing done by Joya, we respect each others thinking. Have suggested her to my friends and would recommend her to all.
I had the opportunity to get NAD+ and B vitamin infusions with Nourish House Calls at a recent event, and I can't speak more highly of it. The quality of the service, the knowledge Joya brings to the table, and kindness and care she brings is second to none. I am now a big fan!
Joya is a wealth of knowledge, and she delivers all of the information in a manner that is very approachable and easy to digest. She helped me understand my bloodwork and set me up for success with resources on nutrients, suppliments and even some books and podcasts. I left with a list of actionable items that I can impliment and continue to track. Highly Recommend!!
I received NAD+ IV Therapy for the first time from Joya. She made the process comfortable, did a great job explaining everything to me, and was so much fun to be around. I highly recommend Nourish House Calls.

It was evident that she viewed the human body as a complex and interconnected system, a perspective that allowed her to provide a level of comprehensive care that I had long been searching for.What struck me the most was her dedication to uncovering the… More root causes of my health issues.

Joya is amazing! She treats the cause, not the symptoms so you're not just duct taping a problem, she's solving it for you! I think she likes a challenge too, she won't stop until she figures it out. I would be miserable if it wasn't for her.
Joya is one of those NP's that think outside the box. If you are looking for someone with empathy that will really listen to you I suggest you give her a call. She has helped my family quite a bit.
Joya is fantastic! She takes the time to listen and really figure out what you need based on your symptoms and how you are feeling! My energy low and brain fog symptoms were at an all time high! Switching a few things (bioidentical hormones) helped my memory and productivity increase tremendously!! Thank you!!
What's more amazing than having a healthcare provider come to your home, give you an unrushed visit while truly listening, and be available to communicate with you each time you need her. The nutritional IVs are a treat--and in your own home as well!
I feel so blessed to have found Joya!!!! She listens carefully, never makes you feel crazy, is incredibly knowledgeable, and individualizes a program for you. She has patiently been helping me with my thyroid condition, I had IBS for over 30 years and that is gone, my cholesterol has come down, and my hormones have been balanced. I am so grateful for Joya and what she does through Nourish House.
