Dr. Thalia Hale, ND

Dr. Thalia Hale, ND Hi, I’m Dr. Thalia! A licensed naturopathic doctor treating acute and chronic conditions using natural therapies from a holistic perspective.

Book a virtual or in-person appointment! I, initially, started my practice with a passion for treating people affected by digestive and hormone issues. By supporting one system, I was often supporting numerous others and I loved watching the domino effect. As time passed, my patients came in with more intense multi-systemic complaints. This encouraged me to study deeper leading me to specialize in chronic complex diseases like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Mold Illness, Lyme and its co-infections, PANS/PANDAS, and more. I’ve had the fortitude to continue my journey working alongside a mentor I admire greatly, Dr. Raj Patel. The unfortunate truth is that our environment has become increasingly toxic and our bodies are struggling to maintain balance leading to increases in chronic diseases. The good news is that there are brilliant people in all arenas at work creating solutions. My goal is to give you the tools to fight back for your health.

Does this pattern feel familiar?

Symptoms affecting multiple systems at once. Skin, digestion, breathing, heart rate, nervous system.

It can feel confusing and disconnected. Until you zoom out.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome rarely exists in isolation. It often overlaps with conditions like POTS and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The immune system, connective tissue, and autonomic nervous system are more interconnected than we were taught.

MCAS doesn’t always look obvious. It overlaps. It mimics. It gets dismissed.

But when you begin looking at the full-body pattern, histamine, inflammation, autonomic shifts, things start to make clinical sense.

This is why symptom clusters matter more than single symptoms.

If this resonates, start tracking patterns. Notice what flares together. Notice what triggers shifts.

Clarity begins when you stop viewing systems separately.

I’ll be sharing a deeper breakdown of this triad and how these conditions connect. What to look for, why it happens, and what steps you can take.

Make sure you’re following so you don’t miss it.

Mast cells are not the enemy.

They are part of your body’s protective design. Releasing mediators like histamine to defend, adapt, and respond.

The issue is not their existence.

It’s dysregulation.

When mast cells become overactive without an appropriate trigger, the body shifts out of balance. Symptoms can appear across the skin, gut, lungs, and nervous system. Often feeling disconnected, confusing, or overwhelming.

But the goal isn’t suppression.

It’s restoration.

The body is built for regulation.

When we understand the immune and nervous system connection, we begin working with that natural healing force, not against it.

We’ll be exploring this more deeply in the coming weeks.

I want to take a moment to give you a big hug. Many of us wanted a fresh start to wipe the slate clean and the beginning of this year has gotten off to a fiery and heavy start at every corner of the world.

As an Iranian, I’ve watched the brave people of my country fight for their freedom despite the tortuous abuse they have endure under this murderous regime. Within days, it is suspected that 30 - 75,000 men, women and children have been killed.

Despite the trauma they have endured for over 47 years, they still stand up to fight. I’m in awe of their strength and I hope I get to go HOME to support them when this is all over. It will be over. This horrendous regime has been there too long.

May the people of Iran be free. And when I say that, may every person affected by crimes against humanity be included in my statement. We are all one heart.

As an empath, this moment in time has been a lot to take in. It’s important to keep in mind that our nervous systems have not evolved to know every disaster and atrocity on the planet and survive.

Take a moment to consider that not long ago in history...you only had intel on your immediate surroundings. If I didn’t have access to the worldwide news, I’d just be thinking it is a rainy winter day outside.

I’ve needed to remind myself (while not putting blinders on) to be clear on where I can make a difference physically/energetically and give myself grace to truly FEEL my emotions.

I hope this is an invitation for you to do the same. If you are hurting right now, my heart is with you.

Roasted Bone Marrow Purée + Whipped Butter 🤍

Bone marrow is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can offer—rich in healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals that support growing brains and bodies. When roasted and blended, it becomes incredibly soft, mild, and perfect for little ones just starting solids.

We serve this as a smooth purée for baby, or whip it with butter for the rest of the family to spread on veggies, sourdough, or meat. One recipe, two ways—simple, nourishing, and easy to batch prep.

Tip: I make a larger batch and freeze in 1–2 oz silicone cubes for quick meals later.

If you’d like to make whipped marrow butter instead, skip step 4 and do the Whipped Marrow Butter Variation.

Nature doesn’t rush — and neither should we.

As the year begins, consider tending your roots:
sleep, sunlight, nourishment, rest, and relationships.

Small, consistent care creates sustainable growth.

Save this as a gentle check-in for the months ahead 🌿

I know this may sound boring, but no matter the season… I love a good salad 🥗
This one is my go-to winter salad, inspired by one of my favorite restaurant in SF/Palo Alto — Kokkari + Evvia.

The real star here is my easy, “tastes like dairy, but not dairy dressing” that I use it year-round.

✨ How to make the dressing:
Start with a few spoonfuls of hummus (I love the organic hummus from + ), then slowly drizzle in olive oil to loosen it. Add apple cider vinegar for brightness and finish with salt to taste.
No exact measurements, adjust as you go until it’s creamy, tangy, and just right for you.

Tip: If you already have a basic vinaigrette, simply whisk in a spoonful of hummus for that creamy finish 🤍

Simple, nourishing, and perfect alongside heavier holiday meals.
Wishing you a cozy and nourishing Christmas Eve ✨🎄

One thing that surprises many parents is that babies don’t fully develop the enzymes to break down grains until around age 2 — yet rice cereal is often the first food!

So I decided to start a baby food series, highlighting some of the recipes that supported us on this journey and helped build a nutrient-dense, diverse foundation for our little one.

In our home, we’ve been focusing instead on flavor diversity, nutrient-dense foods, gentle allergen exposure, and real, whole-family meals. And it’s been working beautifully.

Today we’re kicking off the series with Recipe #1 — the first of many nourishing, baby-approved meals we’ll be sharing weekly (or biweekly) over the next few weeks.

Whether you’re just starting solids or looking to expand your baby’s palate, I hope this series brings you inspiration and confidence in nourishing your little one. 💛

Stay tuned for the rest!

Over the past 3 years, I have had the fortitude to work alongside a brilliant doctor. 👨‍⚕️

The career shift I made was a bit of a leap of faith, but I had put it out into the universe that I wanted to learn again without going back to school.

Within a month, my universal request was answered. It was time to grow again.

You see, I had been starting to work with more Lyme and mold patients, but I knew my self-learning would not be able to keep up with the complexity of these conditions. I shadowed a number of doctors, but I wasn’t seeing consistent positive results 'till I shadowed Dr. Patel.

The other shining star in this photo is our patient care coordinator, Suzy, who is the glue that keeps everything together!

Long story short -- we clicked and I’ve learned a tremendous amount from him over that past several years to share with you! 🙌

Remember when you were a kid and you were everything… ⁠

🎨 artist ⁠
💃 dancer⁠
🏃‍♀️ athlete⁠
🧭 explorer⁠
👩‍💻 inventor⁠
🔨 builder⁠
🌱 gardener⁠
✍️ writer⁠
⁠..and the list goes on and on. ⁠

Whether you were “good” or “bad” at it, it really didn’t matter at all. You simply did it for the love of it.⁠

This past year has definitely had its fair share of ups and downs. But one silver lining for me has been to slow down, step back, and truly look at my life as it is to see if it aligns with joy and fulfillment. ⁠

I’ve realized that before I was trained as a doctor, I was all of those other things too. This is one reason I came back to a past love -- writing. 😊⁠

This past weekend in Zion National Park, we were towered by ancient stones, saw trees so resilient they grow through the cracks of these stones, and viewed our vast sky at night with no light pollution. ⁠

This experience reminded me of the connection I used to have with nature and the perspective it would bring.

The Autumn Equinox graced us yesterday marking another time of transition and time to reflect. I was fortunate enough to celebrate it with a group led by our teacher, Micheline, where she posed some great contemplations. 🍁⁠

As the seasons are changing:

What insights, opportunities, and experiences have you had over the past year?

If challenging, how did you cope with them?

What are you ready to let go of in your life?

AND...

How do you increase light in your life as the days get shorter? ✨
