Functional medicine is a science-based protocol that treats the individual as a whole, looking for the root cause of the problem.
Working with Michele, you will learn to dig deep and identify the root cause of your symptoms. Michele will create a unique plan that addresses your issues through nutrition, lifestyle, environmental changes, and supplements and/or menopausal hormone therapy.
With Michele's extensive background in nursing and nutrition, the integrative approach of functional medicine is the perfect blend of practice. Looking at the person's diet, lifestyle, and environment provides valuable clues to the source of their symptoms. Combining this information with laboratory testing gives her a more complete picture of what is really going on, treating them as a whole, not a collection of parts
Michele specializes in women's health and sees a lot of women who suffer from GI disorders, optimizing gut health, perimenopausal and menopausal issues.
Infertility is another condition she sees a lot of. For those patients with unexplained infertility or PCOS and who are seeing a reproductive endocrinologist, she helps them prepare to conceive by optimizing their health and increasing their chances of a viable pregnancy.
Caring for women of all ages, Michele finds it very rewarding to see these women invest in themselves and achieve their health goals. Watching women wean off medications or many times come fully off them after taking them for years is even better.
Michele's problems began after the birth of her third child. She experienced autoimmune symptoms that no one could diagnose. For several years, she bounced around between different doctors and specialists, and kept getting worse, with every symptom under the sun.
After a hysterectomy, and with her gallbladder at zero function, Michele decided to take things into her own hands. She saved her gallbladder from being removed, healed her gut, and transformed her health - all with diet and lifestyle.
