Meet Serena Zhou-Talbert, MD, MPH
I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician with a special interest in women’s reproductive health and fertility. From a young age, I have been deeply curious about people and their stories—their upbringing, cultures, and the experiences that shape their lives.
Building meaningful and trusting relationships with my patients is at the heart of my work. We have to go deeper in order to truly heal our mind, body, and spirit –-an area where conventional medicine can sometimes fall short.
This passion led me to complete a fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine in 2025.
Today, I combine over ten years of experience practicing Family Medicine with evidence-based Integrative Medicine therapies to holistically serve my patients.
Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor adventures, practicing yoga, traveling, camping, engaging in any activities involving food, drawing Pokemon, and being silly with my two- and four-legged family.
HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW...
3 Little-Known Facts About Hormones
"My Labs Are
Normal..."
With labs "in normal range", why do I have symptoms?
Your hormones can be in range... but not be optimal. The "normal range" is just based on an average of people (healthy or not). If you find yourself towards the lower or higher end, your hormones aren't in the optimal range. That's why we go beyond standard lab tests to find out why your hormones are imbalanced... checking other values that standard labs often miss. Take the first step to reclaim your vitality, and take the short quiz!
Nutritional
Deficiencies
Are nutrient deficiencies impacting your hormones?
Without proper nutrition, your body can't make vital hormones. Most people, even healthy eaters, have nutrient deficiencies due to stress, gut issues, toxic exposure and taking medications. Using an integrative approach, we first evaluate all possible root causes of hormone dysfunction – including possible nutrient deficiencies that can be easily corrected with high-quality supplements.
Impact Of
Gut Health
GI issues can mess with your hormone balance
Gut imbalances frequently turn into hormonal imbalances! Trying to "fix" hormonal imbalances on their own will frequently backfire if you don't heal your gut too. Stealth infections, bacterial infections, leaky gut and SIBO push hormones out of whack... so we need to address those issues first before looking into things like hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
