Yes! My entire practice/program is virtual but there are certain conditions to this relationship. I am only licensed in the state of Arizona and due to licensing regulations, if you live elsewhere I can still work with you as a health consultant but I cannot be your doctor.

If you’re tired of jumping around from medication to medication..to self-prescribing and diagnosing based off of things you saw on social media with little to no results because you’re not sure why you’re even doing them..or you’ve tried eliminating endless things from your diet..confused on where to begin with your holistic skin healing journey - you’re in the right place!

People often come to see me for their acne, but the truth is, it goes so much deeper than that. While we work to clear your skin, we're also addressing underlying issues like hormonal imbalances, gut health, stress, and lifestyle factors that impact your overall health. This process is about achieving not just clearer skin, but a healthier, more balanced body and mind. The journey to healing acne involves transforming more than just your skin – it's a full-body reset.

I work with patients who are committed to getting down to the ROOT of their symptoms and are tired of using band-aid solutions. Acne is a sign that there is a deeper imbalance internally that needs to be addressed. This is not for someone who is looking for a “quick-fix” with supplements (or anything) and isn’t willing to do the daily work and lifestyle changes. I am here to support and give guidance so we can clear your skin as fast as possible - but ultimately, the magic happens on your end!

Totally valid! And I’ve LIVED your current experience - for over a decade. Sustainable change and knowledge is where I commonly see gaps fall through. Too often we try to do either TOO much at once or we don’t even know why we are doing certain things. This is designed to be not only personalized to your specific case based on YOUR results and history, but to also help you to build the tools to prevent major symptom flares for good. Even though you may have tried 30 things for your skin, it might have again either been too much or not the direction that was the most beneficial for your case. If you actually have tried everything, then your skin would be clear!

It’s not a surprise nowadays that gut inflammation drives systemic inflammation. Aka if you have acne, your gut is involved in some way or another. Almost all clients I work with have some level of dysbiosis and/or candida, h pylori, and parasites. Ultimately, it’s not your hormones that are causing the problem…it’s what’s causing them to be “off” in the first place - aka commonly your gut and liver - which is where I like to start working with clients first! I absolutely value the importance of testing hormones and love taking a deeper look AFTER we clean up all factors that could be impeding their optimal levels. The DUTCH Complete panel is something that we can add on for an additional investment. In some cases, we can pull the trigger on it right away too! In addition, I don’t want to further waste your time by throwing things at the wall and guessing to see if something sticks. Let’s identify what your body is needing through testing to confirm.

Absolutely! The foundations of clearing your skin and supporting your hormones will still be applicable. It’s actually ideal to prep your body for about 3 months prior to getting off to achieve as seamless of a transition as possible. We will individualize things to your specific needs during our 1:1 consult/and determine the best timing for testing.

It ultimately depends on your case and what underlying imbalances that we have to correct! How fast you heal depends on many factors - consistency with the foundational pillars of health, history of medication use, stress levels, how open your drainage pathways are, etc. Unfortunately, when it comes to holistic healing there is no 100% guarantee with results and timing of results. An example I love to give is just like you won’t notice a significant difference in your weight after eating healthy and going to the gym for a couple of weeks - the same goes for your skin. With that being said, my goal is to clear your skin as fast as possible and if you want to see any level of long term progress with your skin, you need at least 6 months! With some cases, improvements are seen in as little as 3-4 weeks when reducing inflammation. So ultimately, timelines don't work for healing. You and your case are individual and therefore - so is your timeline!

Love this question! I truly believe that the symptoms we experience, whether it be acne, painful cycles, bloating, headaches…are a sign of an internal imbalance and our body telling us that something is “off”. Symptoms aren’t a life sentence. It all begins within. I believe there is a time and place for both allopathic and functional medicine - and the blending of the two is where the real magic happens. I love looking at data, lab results, testing..but also acknowledge and deeply value the importance of nervous system regulation and the emotional ties to our healing journey and process. There are many layers to health that often get forgotten about.

All in all, I believe that healing takes a whole-person approach - taking into account the physical, mental, and emotional layers. There is no fad-diet or magic supplement that will “fix” everything. To truly heal from the inside out, it requires intentional change and showing up for yourself - which I’m here to guide and support you with!✨ Again, I’m not here to give you a “quick-fix”. I want to help you prevent and manage your symptoms for GOOD.

Absolutely not! The goal is get your body to a place where it can eat MORE of what you love. With that being said, diet shifts are still very important when it comes to your skin and some tweaks may need to be made short-term and to the build the foundation for the long-term.

Totally valid! I have worked with many women who lead busy lives and it’s very important for me to collaborate with my patients and meet them where they are at. Though you don’t have to be perfect to see changes, a big part of functional and holistic healing is the consistency and dedication to those daily lifestyle habits. Again small, consistent habits over time lead to big wins! Life doesn’t stop when it comes to our health and there won’t ever be a “perfect” time. Working on your health through the ebbs and flow of life will help to build your "toolbox" so that your skin doesn’t just thrive while you’re on vacation.

For those located in the US, absolutely! Certain state exclusions apply so it’s something that we can discuss during our consult call. The GI-MAP is included for all clients and there is the option of ordering other functional panels like the DUTCH Complete for an additional investment.

I have an extended continuity program that you can apply for where we can repeat testing and continue to work together!

Absolutely! I work with a handful of clients on many other concerns outside of just acne and the general outline of our time working together, testing, and more is still applicable!

Yes! Payment plan options can be discussed on our free consultation call.

Due to the individualized nature and the dedicated time and expertise invested in your case, there are no refunds or exchanges for any services. This policy ensures that I can maintain the focus and commitment necessary to support you on your wellness journey.

Most importantly, if you leave yourself the option that you could get your investment back if you don’t see the results you were hoping for, this can perpetuate a belief that your acne won’t heal and ultimately block you from getting the most out of everything. Mindset plays a big role!

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover integrative medicine so at this time. Many have success using their HSA/FSA but it’s not something that I can guarantee. Many save thousands (and years) by working with me due to getting to the root of symptoms vs guessing.

To begin, start by filling out an application to work 1:1 with Dr. Sheyda and from there you will be directed to book a free 15-minute consultation. As I have limited spots per month to ensure I can work closely with clients, this is to make sure we are a good fit to work together for your goals!
