I am a board certified family medicine practitioner and a certified functional medicine medicine provider with additional post graduate training in thyroid disease and perimenopausal and menopausal hormone support.
I developed a passion for functional medicine and supporting women‘s hormones when, at 39, my own health was failing. Despite having a team of specialists, no one was able to help me. I had a myriad of debilitating symptoms, abnormal labs and was misdiagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases. Throughout a 5 year period, I had been on over a dozen prescription medications, had several surgeries, too many doctor’s appointments to count and I was only getting worse.
It was then that I found functional medicine and started digging into the research myself. What I found was both amazing, life-changing and infuriating. Functional medicine and hormone replacement therapy changed my life for the better because I was to test, identify and treat the root cause of all of my health health issues. It was infuriating because I felt like I had been taught incorrectly and had been “doing it wrong” all these years as a conventional provider. Today, because I was able to identify and treat the root cause, I am off all of my medications (except for hormones) and feel better than I did before I got sick. This also made me realize that, as a woman, I fell through the cracks of healthcare and I couldn’t be the only one. This is why I am so passionate about taking care of women.
