Functional Medicine, Hormone & Perimenopause Care in Lombard, IL
When changes in energy, sleep, digestion, mood, or hormones begin happening at the same time, it is not always easy to understand what may be connected. Nourish House Calls provides personalized, root-cause healthcare for Lombard residents through house calls, appointments at our Westmont office, and telehealth. Functional medicine is the foundation of our approach, allowing different aspects of your health to be considered together rather than treating each concern in isolation. Whether you are navigating perimenopause or menopause, exploring hormone therapy, or dealing with persistent symptoms, care is shaped around your health history, needs, and goals.
Recurring symptoms, especially when several concerns overlap, can benefit from a more detailed look at your health. Our functional medicine approach focuses on possible underlying factors rather than addressing symptoms alone. Care begins with a 90-minute initial appointment covering your health history, current concerns, medications, lifestyle, previous testing, and health goals. In-depth laboratory testing can provide additional insight when appropriate. If you have been looking for a functional medicine practitioner in Lombard, this is the central approach behind the broader care we offer across hormone health, perimenopause and menopause, chronic conditions, and healthy aging.
Perimenopause Therapy Services
If you’re in your 30s or 40s and noticing changes that do not quite feel like yourself, including irregular cycles, anxiety, insomnia, or new aches, you may be entering perimenopause. Our perimenopause therapy helps Lombard women get a clearer picture of what is happening through comprehensive hormone and metabolic testing, followed by a plan designed to address symptoms early. Since perimenopause affects everyone differently, care is personalized, with both conventional and more natural therapy options discussed alongside the evidence behind them.
Heavy or changing periods in perimenopause: Hormonal shifts can affect how often your period comes, how long it lasts, and how heavy the bleeding is. Heavier or prolonged bleeding should still be evaluated carefully, since perimenopause is not the only possible cause. We consider these changes alongside your other symptoms and testing and recommend specialist evaluation when additional investigation is needed.
Menopause Therapy Services
Hot flashes, poor sleep, brain fog, and mood changes can make menopause harder to manage, but they do not have to take over your day-to-day life. Our menopause therapy combines nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate, helping Lombard patients address underlying hormone-related changes rather than symptoms alone. We support women through premenopausal changes, perimenopause, and menopause, with care shaped around laboratory results, symptoms, and individual goals.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Both women and men can experience hormone-related changes that affect energy, sleep, libido, mood, weight, and how they feel day to day. Our individualized BHRT uses bioidentical hormones that are structurally identical to those produced naturally by the body. Treatment begins with comprehensive testing, followed by regular monitoring so care can be adjusted according to laboratory findings, symptoms, goals, and how your body responds. We have partnered with the same trusted compounding pharmacies for 15 years to support consistency in personalized hormone care.
Beyond Hormones: Additional Health Concerns We Support
Functional medicine care is not limited to hormone-related concerns. Lombard patients also seek support for chronic fatigue, digestive problems, thyroid disorders, autoimmune concerns, sleep disturbances, mood-related symptoms, weight changes, and other persistent health issues. Having support for these concerns within the same practice can make it easier to address different health needs within the same practice. Learn more about the conditions we support and the areas of health we address.
IV therapy does not always have to mean making a separate trip for treatment. Lombard patients can receive mobile IV therapy at home or at work, with in-office appointments also available at our Westmont location. Available options include the Recharge blend for hydration and energy support and NAD+ for cellular support. Experienced registered nurses provide treatments throughout our house-call service area.
Stem Cell Therapy
Joint pain, tendon or ligament injuries, and chronic degeneration can make everyday movement more difficult. Our stem cell therapy uses Wharton’s Jelly and purified amniotic fluid injections to support the body’s natural healing response. For Lombard patients, treatment may be considered alongside or before surgery or long-term steroid injections, depending on the individual situation. Products come from FDA-inspected labs with healthy donor screening, and each treatment plan is based on the affected joint, injury, and personal goals.
Regenerative & Longevity Medicine
Beyond joint-focused stem cell treatment, our regenerative and longevity medicine program combines peptide therapy, NAD+ IV nutrition, and other cellular-support treatments designed to support healthy aging and long-term vitality. For Lombard patients focused on overall health span, longevity medicine offers a broader way to support long-term health rather than concentrating on a single symptom or injury.

For patients, membership includes specialized lab testing, personalized care plans, provider support, hormone and peptide prescriptions, nutritional IVs, and discounts on additional services.

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.
Joya was an absolute knowledge good mine! I had concerns with adrenal fatigue and was looking for someone with functional medicine expertise that could offer personalized medicine recommendations. She nailed it! I highly recommend!

When I was trying to make sure my body was in a good place hormonally, Joya new everything to test! IVF filled by body with so many drugs and Joya knew what to look for when it was embryo transfer time. So thankful and happy to be 30 weeks pregnant!!

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. Instead of merely addressing surface-level symptoms, she delved deep into my medical history and current lifestyle, piecing together a holistic understanding of my well-being. This commitment to addressing underlying problems rather than merely alleviating symptoms was truly refreshing.Her approach to healing was a harmonious blend of empathy and expertise.

It is evident that she's invested considerable time and effort in honing her skills and knowledge. Whether it was herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, or lifestyle modifications, she seamlessly integrated various modalities to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to my needs.Calling her a "magician of well-being" might seem like an exaggeration, but witnessing the positive impact of her interventions felt nothing short of magical.

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.
I was extremely fortunate to have a friend of mine recommend Nourish house calls and I’m a lot healthier for it.Joya has a wealth of knowledge and experience in her field and I love the personal touch she offers.She gives you the time you need that you will not get from your typical GP. She listens and she cares. Tell me what doctor calls or texts you to see how you are feeling? Joya does.You can’t put a dollar amount on your health or well being and I just wish I came across Nourish house calls… More years ago.
I went to see Joya on Tuesday, December 6. She was knowledgeable, and very informative as to the treatment I received. Trust is so important when it comes to our health. I trust her judgement and advice. I would recommend this service highly.
