Functional Medicine is a systems biology-based approach that asks how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.

My approach to Functional Medicine is highly individualized, taking into account each person’s genetic make-up and addressing the central environmental and lifestyle factors for that person.

We need to understand that a diagnosis of a disease can be due to more than one cause, and that one specific cause or symptom can lead to different diseases. It all depends on the individual.
By helping you crack the code of your own body, you will be empowered to address the underlying causes of your symptoms, bringing forward the most optimal version of you!

I have heard this from countless clients. Many people feel like they’ve done everything in their power to feel better. However, after a short discovery call, it becomes abundantly clear that there is something left to unfold and need to dig deeper to find the root cause of their health issues. Additionally, when a person decides that they have “tried everything,” they subconsciously decide that nothing more can be done. And this is not the right mindspace from which to make life-changing decisions!

Many people have never worked with a practitioner who understands optimal lab values vs “normal” lab values, or had functional lab testing. They’ve never had anyone ask about their sleep, stress, movement, or community support – all critical pieces of the puzzle when it comes to restoring vibrant health. If you’re one of those people thinking, “This isn’t going to work for me,” have you really assessed all of these areas? If you haven’t, I can help.

Think about all the time you’ve spent researching your condition. All the hours you’ve spent sitting in a doctor’s waiting room for a 15-minute appointment. We all have the same number of hours in a day, whether you are healthy or sick. If you’re not feeling great, you’re probably not as productive in your work or home life. This is more time wasted, which could be used to do what you enjoy!

Getting your health in order is one of the BEST ways to free up time to enjoy your life: hang out with your loved ones, take up that hobby you’ve always wanted to pursue, get involved in your community, whatever you want! With the convenience of online appointments on YOUR schedule, you get to decide that this IS the right time to take charge of your health.

Functional Medicine SAVES incredible amounts of money and time by PREVENTING the downstream effects of chronic disease. It saves you the time you would have wasted in an office, being told your labs are “normal” when you feel like garbage. It saves you money from prescription medicine copays that will never actually reverse your condition, but will keep you continually coming back from the same drug and cookie-cutter solution. I encourage you to look past the “cost” of functional medicine services, but instead consider the “value” and what feeling great would actually ADD to your life.

Been there, done that! . We live in a constant state of information overload. Knowledge is power, but without the proper guidance to take action, it’s worthless! The most important information I can discover about how to help you feel better comes from YOU, not a book or a lab test. Understanding what’s going on inside your body is the key, so I have to ask the right questions and apply the right scientific solution to your individual situation. When you partner with me, we’ll be able to navigate the conflicting health information together in a way that makes sense of it all. Saving you time, money, and energy!

Conventional medicine works on the premise of “name it to tame it” – get a diagnosis, give a prescription, see you in 6 months. It’s algorithms and a one-size-fits-all approach. This often works for Emergency or Acute care, but rarely helps anyone heal from a chronic issue.
My approach to healing is focused on uncovering the root causes of your health issues and developing a customized plan to correct them, while actually helping you feel better. Not just from a bandaid of a prescription, but from addressing the underlying factors that allowed such a condition to develop. Conventional medicine has gotten very comfortable with the idea that the body systems are separate, hence we need a specialist for everything. Have a heart problem? See a Cardiologist. Have a skin condition? See a Dermatologist. We’ve lost sight of the fact that all of our organ systems are intricately connected and what is happening in one organ will profoundly affect the rest. I’m here to put it all together for you.

I have done Functional medicine training from IFM, USA. I have done Functional medicine advanced training in Gut Health, Immune system, Environmental health & Detoxification, Bioenergetics, Cardiometabolic health and I am going to pursue Hormonal Health in November 2022. I have completed extensive training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and lifestyle counseling through the Institute for Functional Medicine, as well as the School of Applied Functional Medicine.

I have also done Holistic Health and Wellness coach training from International Association from Wellness Professional (IAWP), USA. I am also trained as a GAPS Practitioner from DR. Natasha Mcbride Campbell to treat autoimmune and mental health conditions like Autism through Nutritional and Detoxification protocol.

I am also a Nutrition therapist. I have done Level 4 RSPH Nutrition and Level 5 – Advanced Nutrition and immunity.

No, I am a Functional Medicine Provider and Holistic Wellness coach. I am also a certified GAPS Practitioner and Nutrition therapist. I do not practice medicine and do not diagnose or treat diseases or medical conditions. I focus my online practice on promoting health and optimal function. My services are not meant to substitute or replace those of a medical doctor, but rather work in conjunction with them.

No. I do not prescribe or make recommendations about prescription medications or controlled substances in this setting. Your primary care practitioner should manage all medications they prescribe. I may suggest natural, noninvasive methods such as nutrition, herbs, supplements, stress management techniques, and lifestyle changes to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal function and health.

Unfortunately, no. At this time I am unable to accept insurance for my online clients’ testing and services. My services are generally considered above the standard of care and therefore elective, as far as the insurance industry is concerned. I hope that one day Functional Medicine is the standard of care for all!

I do both! I work mostly online via telephone or through video chat (Zoom) in a protected web portal. If you’re interested in working with me in-person, set up a Discovery Call and we can chat about it!

The answer to this is based on the individual. It depends on the complexity of your condition, how long you’ve had it, how much time and energy you’re willing to devote to your program, and how well you respond to the interventions. In general, most of my programs are a minimum of 4 months, with the option to extend past that point for continued success. However, most of my clients see improvements within the first month of working with me.

Schedule an initial free Discovery Call! You will fill out a brief application so I can learn about your health goals and needs. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. There is no obligation. If we feel like we’re a good fit, we will move forward to an Initial Comprehensive Case review, in which we would go over your health history in detail and discuss any past labs that you have through a Functional Medicine lens. I truly love this work and I’m so grateful to provide these services: spending quality time with my clients, and helping them achieve optimal health and wellness. I would be honored to be part of your journey!
