Functional and Lifestyle Medicine are patient-centered approaches oriented toward identifying and treating the root causes of dis-ease, promoting the body’s innate healing processes and restoration to wellness. Stephani Conner, FNP-C, owner and nurse practitioner at Integrated Wellness, PLLC, was diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease in 2017 and opted for a functional approach instead of immunosuppressing drugs. It was this experience that led to the pursuit of Functional Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Functional Nutrition education and an emphasis on true health rather than symptom management.

Stephani partners with you to help address the root causes of chronic conditions like metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalances, and autoimmune symptoms using an evidence-based approach. Functional and Lifestyle Medicine don’t replace your PCP; they support the work you’re already doing by helping you implement sustainable changes for long-term success. Medication, including GLP-1 and GIP agonists, can be a component of your program, but the overall goal is to address underlying issues to reduce dependence on medication as your body heals.

If you’re weary from walking the treadmill of continual medication use, endless appointments and refills, and ongoing frustration with inadequate symptom relief, contact Integrated Wellness to schedule a consultation and learn more about how functional medicine can help restore your health and vitality.
