Hello! My name is Sydney Baker and I am a San Diego based Naturopathic Doctor who focuses on women's health and hormones.

Intermittent use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are game changers for understanding your metabolism. They show how your food, stress, sleep, and movement affect blood sugar in real time & allow you to see patterns that may be hard to see otherwise.

CGMs have been extremely helpful in my practice by identifying trends in insulin resistance before it becomes pre-diabetes or diabetes. It gives us tangible data so you’re able to make small changes for prevention or reversal of blood sugar issues.

My go-to is the by and it’s available online without a prescription!

Honored to be featured in and speak about how and why I do what I do! My career is so rewarding and taking the plunge to open my own private practice this year was scary but so so worth it!

Your luteal phase is the 10-14 days leading up to your menstrual bleed.

This tends to be the part of the cycle my patients struggle with most.

The luteal phase isn’t a mistake or a curse. It’s a time of slowing down, rooting in, and nourishing yourself deeply.

Here’s what your body actually wants in this phase:
🩸 More food (your metabolism speeds up)
🧠 More B vitamins (for mood and energy)
🧂 More minerals (to replenish what’s coming)
💤 More rest (you’re not lazy—you’re wise)

What’s on my plate lately?
Grass-fed steak for iron + B vitamins
Raw carrot salad for fiber + gentle estrogen detox
Tallow fries for cozy carbs + satisfaction

Your cravings aren’t the problem—they’re communication.
Your fatigue isn’t a flaw—it’s a cue.

This is not the week to do it all.
This is the week to come home to yourself.

Want to live in rhythm with your cycle, not in spite of it? My latest Substack breaks it all down, season by season.

“If your hormones were really off, we’d just put you on birth control anyway.”
Sound familiar?

Tired, bloated, acne, moody, irregular cycles—and still told “it’s not worth testing”?

That’s not care. That’s dismissal.

Hormones can (and should) be tested—with the right timing and the right context.

You don’t need the Pill.

You need answers.

Find a provider who understands that.

You don’t always need fancy powders or gut protocols.
Most people skip the basics — and then wonder why they’re bloated, sluggish, or irregular.

Start here:

– Big glass of water first thing to get your bowels moving
– Abdominal massage (yes, you can do this yourself)
– Water away from meals, not with them
– Walk after eating — your gut needs movement
– Bitter greens to prime digestion

Simple. Free. Effective.
Not trendy — just what your body has always needed.

If you implement these practices and your digestion is still not optimal, then it could be worth it to run a stool analysis test or consider tweaking your diet to avoid foods that tend to cause more inflammation.

Swipe for the how & why.

Being healthy doesn’t have to mean spending a ton. Often, if we go back to the basics (and leave out all the fancy stuff) we’ll notice more of a difference in the long term.

As a doctor (and a human), I’m always looking for ways to support my health without overspending. These are 5 small habits I’ve built into my routine that keep my body feeling good and help me stick to a budget.

From making my own dressings to making matcha at home, these swaps are simple, sustainable, and surprisingly satisfying.

Save this post if you’re trying to eat healthier without blowing your budget.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sydney Baker — and I’m so excited to reintroduce myself.

After years of working in integrative care, I’ve officially launched my own practice and website — and I’m now accepting patients both virtually and in-person at in Solana Beach, CA.

I practice root-cause medicine with a focus on hormone balance, whole-body wellness, and truly listening to your story. You deserve a doctor who sees the full picture and treats you, not just your symptoms.

If you’re ready to feel like yourself again, I’d love to support you on your healing journey.

The amount of women who come to me having been told that birth control is their answer for acne, PMS, painful periods, heavy flow, mood swings, PCOS and perimenopause is astounding.

While I’m grateful for our ability to have control over our reproductive rights as females, oral contraceptives ARE NOT and SHOULD NOT be touted as a one size fits all hormone solution.

You deserve more. More education. More time with your doctor. More understanding of your body & labs. And more OPTIONS for non hormonal solutions to all the above imbalances, because they do exist.

Stepping into something new—
Not just a new look, but a new chapter.

Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to create a brand and business that feels like me—rooted, intuitive, and devoted to the kind of care I believe in. This process has felt more like a ceremony than a rebrand. A marking of the moment I chose to branch out on my own and offer naturopathic medicine in a way that’s fully aligned.

I’m now seeing patients both virtually and in person at in Solana Beach, and I couldn’t be more excited to grow into this next season of practice.

Swipe through to see the new brand, feel the energy, and if you’ve been looking for support—I’d love to walk alongside you. Find me at drsydneybaker.com
