Why We Exist

Women have been
waiting long enough
for answers.

Women's health has been systematically underfunded and under researched for decades. Functional and naturopathic medicine, an entire field focused on root causes, hormones, and immune health, has remained largely outside insurance coverage. Most women never hear it exists.


That is changing. Women are paying out of pocket for answers and getting them. Functional medicine and naturopathic care are among the fastest growing categories in wellness. The results speak for themselves.

The average OBGYN appointment. A short window for a complex diagnosis. Most women leave needing more time, more context, and more options than the visit can provide.

Functional labs ordered in a standard women's health visit. Not hormone metabolism, not thyroid markers, not nutrient panels, not gut function, not immune health. Most of these tests live in functional and naturopathic medicine, outside what insurance covers.
600K
Hysterectomies performed in the US every year, one of the highest rates in the developed world. Functional medicine often investigates hormones, immune function, and root cause patterns first. Most women never learn that approach is available.

Imagine if prevention was covered.

On Our Radar

There is more
than one
answer.

These are documented gaps in gynecological care, where Atargatis begins. Each one a place where another option exists and most women never hear about it.

Cervical Health
When abnormal cells appear, surgery is the standard path.
Functional medicine looks at the immune system first.

HPV is linked to 90% of cervical cancer cases. Standard care tells women to wait and let their immune system clear the virus, but no one tests the immune system to see if it actually can. A systems based approach looks at immune function, nutrient status, and hormonal health alongside cellular monitoring. Most women never hear that option exists.

Screening Gaps
Cervical screening starts at 21.
Then you wait 3 to 5 years.

The screening schedule is set by insurance and clinical guidelines, not by what women are asking for. Many want more frequent, more accessible testing during the gaps so HPV does not go unmonitored for years. The infrastructure to support that is still being built.

Hormonal Health
Birth control is the default prescription
for hormonal symptoms.

Combined oral contraceptives are commonly prescribed for acne, irregular cycles, period pain, and hormonal imbalance. The hormonal patterns underneath those symptoms are routinely overlooked by standard care. Women are seeking more options and paying out of pocket to feel better.

Access & Information
Fifteen minutes is not enough time
for a complex diagnosis.

Most women leave with questions they did not get to ask. Functional and naturopathic care have remained outside conventional insurance for decades, so the conversations that matter most often happen elsewhere. Atargatis exists to change that.

Market Momentum

Women are
finding another
option.

Functional health is one of the fastest growing categories in wellness. Women are paying out of pocket to see naturopathic doctors and integrative specialists because it works.

Root cause over symptom management. The results are being shared online, in communities, in doctor's offices.

Our Approach

Beyond root cause.

Systems over single answers
Bodies are systems, not single answers.

The body's systems do not operate in isolation. Hormones, immunity, gut function, and nutrient status are connected in ways that matter for how symptoms show up and how they resolve. The work is following those connections.

Optimization over suppression.

Symptoms are signals. The work is identifying what those signals point to and supporting the body in restoring balance. Data over guesswork. Long term answers over short term fixes.

We are amplifying what already works.

Root cause opened the door. Systems based thinking is what's behind it. Atargatis is building the path forward.

The Origin

The first mermaid
was a goddess.

Atargatis is an ancient goddess of fertility, protection, and transformation worshipped as early as 1000 BCE as the mother of all life. Associated with the moon, water, and the cycles of creation and healing.

When she cast herself into a sacred lake, she didn't disappear. She transformed. Half woman, half force of nature. A rebirth, not an escape.

Her story mirrors what so many women experience on their health journeys: grief, shame, judgment and then rebirth, strength, and self determination. She didn't follow the rules. She became her own medicine.
