You're not imagining it
When Normal Labs Don't Match How You Feel
You've done the bloodwork. Your doctor says everything looks fine. But you're still exhausted, foggy, carrying weight that won't budge, and wide awake at 3am. A standard panel checks a handful of markers. It doesn't explain why you feel this way. Patients tell Dr. McCully their labs are normal and there's nothing to see. She looks anyway, and she finds things in normal labs.
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Brain fog and memory lapses
- Weight gain that won't budge
- Low libido
- Insomnia and restless nights
- Mood swings and anxiety
“My physicals came back great, but I didn't feel great.”
“Imagine what it would be like if we could take all of your symptoms, or at least most of them, and either eliminate them completely or greatly reduce them.”
Root-cause care
What Dr. McCully Looks at First
Hormone imbalance rarely comes down to one hormone. Dr. McCully maps the systems that drive it, then decides whether hormone therapy belongs in your plan.
-
Blood sugar and insulin
Fasting insulin, A1C and a continuous glucose monitor show how your body handles sugar every day, not just on the morning of a blood draw.
-
Thyroid conversion
A complete thyroid panel, including free T3 and reverse T3, shows whether thyroid hormone is reaching your cells. TSH alone misses this.
-
Gut health and microbiome
Your gut shapes how hormones are processed and cleared. Stool testing joins the plan when your history calls for it.
-
Hidden infections and toxin load
Lingering infections keep the body inflamed. Dr. McCully treats them, along with toxin load, and orders mold testing when your history points to it.
-
Nutrient status
Ferritin, iron, vitamin D and fatty acid levels get checked and corrected, because what your body lacks shows up as symptoms.
-
Hormone balance
Bioidentical hormones and thyroid medication, prescribed by Dr. McCully when they are the right fit for your body.

The treatment experience
Sessions Designed to Help Your Body Rest and Repair
Healing stalls when your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. Every treatment session at Wellness Architecture is built to bring you out of it.
You settle into a cozy, dimly lit room. Warmth, light and gentle rhythmic pressure surround you, while calming sound and light quiet your mind. Most people fall asleep. Those who stay awake say it feels like disappearing for a while. On cold days, you get tucked in with a blanket.
Many women tell Dr. McCully it's the most relaxed they have ever felt. Each session is customized to you, so no two plans look the same.
“It's so nice to walk into a place and not feel like a number.”
Real patients, real results
Women Who Found Answers After Being Told Their Labs Were Normal
Wellness Architecture patients describe clearer thinking, steadier energy and better sleep once the real drivers of their symptoms are treated.
“I'm in perimenopause and I kept getting back normal labs. They would just send me home with no solution. Within four to six weeks, I started to feel like myself again.”
“I'm off of the hormones. I don't have hot flashes anymore. I have more energy than I've had in years. My foggy brain has cleared up.”
“I am almost 50, and I feel like I can live another 20, 30 years feeling this way.”
Patients share what changed, and Dr. McCully explains why her programs work differently.
Patient stories reflect individual experiences. Results vary from person to person.

Questions women ask first
Before You Book
What happens at the Discovery Experience?
The Discovery Experience is a 75-minute clinic visit for $250. You fill out a detailed questionnaire, and Dr. McCully shows you what your symptoms point to, whether that's thyroid, blood sugar, gut, hidden infections or nutrient deficiencies. She also reviews labs other doctors have already ordered, and you experience a full treatment session.
Do you take insurance?
Wellness Architecture care is private-pay, and HSA and FSA funds are accepted for every program. Standard labs can be billed to PPO or EPO insurance. Patients with an HMO get negotiated cash pricing on standard labs, and specialty labs are always cash-pay.
Does Dr. McCully prescribe bioidentical hormones?
Yes. Dr. McCully prescribes bioidentical hormones and thyroid medication herself. She first looks at blood sugar, thyroid conversion, gut health, infections and nutrient status, so hormone therapy works in a body that is ready for it.
Can I keep seeing my current doctor?
Yes. Many patients take prescription medications and keep their medical team. Dr. McCully works alongside your other doctors rather than replacing them.
Do I need to live near Menlo Park?
In-clinic programs include treatment sessions once or twice a week, so most patients come from Menlo Park and nearby Peninsula cities. Virtual programs are available for people who live farther away.
How long until I feel different?
Starter programs run 5 to 16 weeks, depending on what's driving your symptoms. Many patients notice changes within the first several weeks.
