My Story

Summer Xia, MS, RD, LDN

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & Herbalist Specialized in Women's Health

“We’re expected to cope, not question.
But real healing starts when we stop accepting ‘just deal with it.’ “

Hi, I’m Summer (梦圆) Xia, MS, RD, LDN, and I’m a registered dietitian and herbalist on the Precision Women’s Care team!

As women, we’re often taught to shrink ourselves when it comes to our health. We’re told that debilitating period cramps are just normal womanhood, or that struggling with weight is just “part of life.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

When I arrived in the United States as a teenager, I carelessly left my Chinese roots behind and stories of how Traditional Chinese Medicine once saved my life as a child. I placed my full trust in Western medicine, believing that every pain or ache could be solved with a pill. But true healing isn’t about silencing symptoms—it’s about restoring the body as a whole.

My journey began in college, when I brushed off my extreme fatigue as the normal stress of a student. What I didn’t know was that I was developing Grave’s disease—an autoimmune condition that sent my thyroid into overdrive. As my symptoms spiraled into heart palpitations, anxiety, heat intolerance, acne, and hair loss, I found myself terrified by the treatment options presented: medication indefinitely, possible radiation, and ultimately thyroid removal.

I refused to accept that was the only path. So during graduate school, I immersed myself in the study of nutrition, herbal medicine, and root-cause healing—searching for answers beyond conventional prescriptions. That decision changed everything. Slowly, I began to heal through integrative care: managing stress, nourishing my body, and using herbal tinctures. In that process, I found not just relief—but my life’s calling.

Today, with almost a decade of schooling & clinical experience in nutritional science and ongoing herbal medicine and research studies, I guide women who feel obligated to minimize their symptoms or stuck with “pills or nothing” options. Whether you’re navigating hormonal disturbances, thyroid issues, or autoimmune flares, I’ll work with you to uncover the root cause and support your healing through personalized nutrition and herbal therapy.

Because healing isn’t just about fixing symptoms—it’s about feeling safe in your body again. You deserve a future where fatigue doesn’t steal your joy, your cycles feel peaceful, and you wake up clear, calm, and confident. That future is possible—and it starts with one brave step.

Let’s take it together.
