Symptoms are not the problem, they are the result of the problem.
Welcome to thefunctionalnp! I’m Meredith—a nurse turned functional practitioner. I made the switch after witnessing conventional medicine fall short for many, including myself.
My health journey began with symptoms like nausea, headaches, heat intolerance, hair loss, heart palpitations, brain fog, and weight loss. I was initially told it was just premenstrual symptoms (PMS), but things worsened and I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease—an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid to become overactive. Left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as heart issues or thyroid storm.
My options were prescription medication for the rest of my life, radioactive iodine, or surgery. I chose a different path.
Functional testing revealed hormone imbalances and gut issues, so I focused on diet, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and supplements to help fill voids. As a result, my thyroid labs improved naturally.
Now I help others do the same! If you’re tired of just treating the symptoms and want to get to the root of what’s going on, I’d love to support you.
Meet Meredith.
A functional approach.
It is essential that clients receive personalized protocols based on how they FEEL and what the lab tests correlate. Symptoms should never be considered normal.

We take a deep dive look into your lifestyle + medical history.
Together we do a deep dive into your health complaints, lifestyle, diet, sleep, supplementation, and health history with a goal to get to the root cause of why you feel the way you do. If diagnostic labs are needed (not required), they will be ordered at this time. A protocol will be given following this session to get you started while we wait for test results.

Ongoing sessions are designed to support sustainable progress, whether labs are needed or not. You have access to direct messaging with me 24/7. This is to help with education, troubleshooting, clarification, and accountability.
