Dr. Julie Petyak-Ryan is deeply committed to improving her patients’ quality of life through an integrative, evidence-informed approach to medicine. In clinical practice since 2000, she has helped hundreds of patients achieve lasting results—supporting fertility, easing pregnancy and postpartum transitions, regulating menstrual cycles, and alleviating symptoms associated with menopause.

She specializes in Fertility and Women’s Health, with a particular emphasis on adolescent hormonal health and education. Her comprehensive treatment plans draw from Functional Medicine, Acupuncture, Infrared Therapy (near and far), Cupping, and individualized Chinese herbal and nutritional prescriptions.

Dr. Ryan’s intake process is exceptionally thorough, encompassing both Western and Eastern diagnostic frameworks and addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions of healing—recognizing that these systems are inherently interconnected.

On a personal level, Dr. Ryan’s mission is rooted in compassion and lived experience. After being diagnosed with infertility in her twenties, she pursued an integrative, multi-dimensional path to uncover the root cause—ultimately leading to the conception and birth of her two children. This journey continues to inform her practice and her dedication to helping others navigate similar challenges.

Her strength lies in her ability to connect authentically with patients, combining clinical precision with genuine empathy. With an extensive background in both personal transformation and professional healing, she approaches each case with determination, presence, and an unwavering commitment to achieving optimal outcomes.

“It is truly an honor to guide you on your path toward health.”
