What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a holistic and patient-centered approach to healthcare that aims to address the root causes of illness and disease, rather than merely treating symptoms. We view the body as an interconnected system, considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to a person's health. In this context, a functional medicine pharmacist plays a crucial role in supporting patients on their journey to optimal well-being. We collaborate with patients and healthcare providers to assess a patient's unique health history, genetic makeup, and lifestyle choices, using this information to create personalized treatment plans. Functional medicine pharmacists emphasize natural and integrative therapies, such as dietary changes, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle modifications, to promote healing and prevent disease. We work to empower patients with the knowledge and tools needed to take control of their health and make informed decisions, fostering a comprehensive and proactive approach to healthcare.
About Me
With over 20 years of experience as a retail and long-term care pharmacist, I have developed a passion for counseling and guiding patients towards better health outcomes. Additionally, I was the owner of a clinical laboratory for 10 years, where I witnessed the profound impact of diet and lifestyle on laboratory results. Through my interest for learning about optimal methods to well-being I created a medical writing business (NIRI medical) where I researched and wrote about all aspects of creating a healthy lifestyle. I graduated from Rutgers College of Pharmacy and hold an integrative pharmacy specialist certificate. I have a solid foundation in both conventional and functional medicine approaches.
Throughout my career, I realized that the current healthcare system often overlooks the underlying causes of health issues and fails to provide pharmacists with the time needed to truly connect with their patients. This realization led me to explore functional medicine and the transformative power of healing the gut.
Over several months of implementing changes in my own diet, lifestyle, and focusing on gut health, I experienced a remarkable improvement in the symptoms that had plagued me for years. Inspired by my personal journey to wellness, I am committed to sharing my knowledge and expertise with others, guiding them towards their own healing and well-being.
