Functional Medicine Naturopaths in Nevada
As both a Naturopathic Doctor and a Family Nurse Practitioner, I strive to combine the best of both worlds- evidenced-based natural therapies and conventional western medicine. I provide holistic primary care, with a focus on prevention and optimal health. I enjoy working with patients on hormone balancing, women's health issues such as PMS, PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, gut health, optimizing sleep, mood issues, thyroid and adrenal health, and fatigue. The best part of my job is listening carefully to patients and providing safe, natural and noninvasive treatment for their health concerns.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments. Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
