Dr. Kate Naumes, ND

www.naumesnd.com Dr. Kate Naumes (sounds like “Thomas”) tailors her recommendations to meet the individual needs of each client. Holyoke.

She believes in the power of preventative medicine and the necessity of client education. Her approach combines a thorough history with lifestyle modifications such as dietary, sleep, and exercise recommendations, as well as, various holistic methods to guide and empower her clients on their journey to optimal health. Rather than focusing on the treatment of disease or elimination of symptoms, Dr. Naumes, ND considers how we live, how we interact with our environment and how those choices affect our well-being. Trained as a primary care physician, she has a special interest in women’s and children’s health. Her choice to become both a naturopathic doctor and midwife arises from a desire to provide continuity of care. She provides preconception and infertility counseling, newborn and pediatric care, as well as ongoing well-woman and menopause support. She is living and practicing in Dallas, TX. The state of Texas does not, as of yet, license Naturopathic Doctors. As such, she holds her license in Oregon and Washington and acts in Texas as a wellness consultant. She holds a Doctorate in Naturopathy and a Certificate in Midwifery from Bastyr University and BA in Biochemistry from Mt.

Give it up for estrogen cream, minoxidil, and Botox-fueled personal reinvention.

There is no shame in science. No shame in softness. No shame in doing what works.

Midlife is not a crisis—it’s a biochemical uprising with snacks.

I Hate Everyone breaks it all down with sarcasm, science, and sacred rage.

The holidays are full of cookies, cocktails, and chaos 🎄🍷—and you should enjoy them.

But between parties and peppermint mochas, your body still needs color on your plate. Each shade brings its own magic:

❤️ Red (tomatoes, strawberries, beets): Heart health + memory
🧡💛 Orange & Yellow (carrots, citrus, sweet potatoes): Eye health + immune support
💚 Green (spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts): Bone health + digestion
💙💜 Blue & Purple (blueberries, eggplant, purple cabbage): Brain health + memory
🤍🤎 White & Brown (mushrooms, onions, garlic): Immune system + inflammation defense

You don’t have to skimp or diet through December—just add color. A little rainbow on your plate keeps your hormones happy and your energy steady through the holiday swirl.

Eat the cookie and the kale. Your body knows what to do. 🌈✨

Yes, the holidays are exhausting (and yes, they’re fun) — but if you’re always running on fumes, it might be more than seasonal burnout.

Between ages 37–55, shifting hormones can trigger all kinds of chaos:
🔥 Hot flashes
🤷🏻‍♀️ Irregular periods
😡 Mood swings
😴 Sleep disturbances

Here’s the thing: as a naturopath, people often assume I’m anti–hormone therapy.

Nope. Not even close. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be life-changing for the right candidates. We’re far better informed than our moms’ generation, and for most women, the benefits of HRT far outweigh the risks.

You don’t have to suffer through exhaustion or the rollercoaster of perimenopause. Take my hormone health quiz (link in bio), and let’s find out what your body’s trying to tell you.

Anxiety? Heart flutters? Sudden hot-cold sweats that make you question reality? 🥵🥶

You’re not crazy — you’re in perimenopause (aka the menopause transition).

It usually kicks in somewhere between 37–50 and can hang around for 7–8 years. I know… deep breath. 😅

The good news: you don’t have to white-knuckle it.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can dramatically ease — and sometimes erase — symptoms. When my clients pair HRT with a holistic plan (think stress support, movement, nutrition, and sleep), the results are life-changing.

Ever had a full-blown emotional crisis in public and blamed it on “the vibes”?

Yeah. Mine had bleachers, an umpire with a power complex, and perimenopause.

I wrote about that meltdown — and what it taught me — in my latest blog post: Perimenopause and the Baseball Mom.

But if I were my own patient that day, here’s what I would’ve prescribed:
💧 Drink water before diagnosing yourself.
🧘‍♀️ Breathe before you react.
🚶 Move before you spiral.
🥦 Eat something green before the chocolate chips.
💛 And stop apologizing for having needs.

Because sometimes, grace under pressure looks like pausing instead of performing.

Read the full blog — it’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever tried to keep her cool while her hormones staged a mutiny.

Feeling like your joints suddenly belong to a much older woman? 😩

If you're between the ages of 35 and 55, you’re not imagining it.

Joint pain and stiffness are super common in perimenopause. Estrogen helps protect your joints, so when levels drop, inflammation and aches rise.

The good news? You can fight back.
💧 Hydrate like it’s your job.
🐟 Add fish oil or omega-3s.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Move daily (low-impact counts!).
🥗 Keep inflammation low by cutting back on meats + cheeses.
💊 And yes—hormone replacement therapy can make a huge difference.

Even small changes matter: losing just 10% of body weight can cut joint pain in half.

Your body’s changing, but you don’t have to live in pain. I help women navigate this stage with science, compassion, and a little sass.

They call it “just a game.”

I call it a Greek tragedy in left field. ⚾🔥

The matriarch’s fury is real — and it deserves its own chapter.

An excerpt from my upcoming book I Hate Everyone: Confessions of a Perimenopausal Woman is dropping soon on the blog.

Ah yes, that moment when you realize it’s not just hormones—it’s your entire life screaming for a reboot.

You’re not crazy. You’re becoming something else. Something truer.

Prescribing one black cat, two cackles, and unlimited candy corn.

Happy Halloween from your witchy doctor.

Tell me in the comments: What are you doing this Halloween?

Sometimes that’s what it takes—saying the thing that’s too raw, too messy, too much for polite company.

Because when women speak honestly about our bodies—about rage, about exhaustion, about brain fog, about the ways we’re dismissed—we’re not being “dramatic.” We’re being truthful.

And truth has always been labeled wild.

✨ Your symptoms are not in your head.
✨ Your honesty is not a weakness.
✨ Your voice is not too much.

The world may try to tame you. But your wildness? That’s where your power lives.

📩 DM me BOOK to find care that honors the wild truth of your body.
