MEET LORI
CRNP, INTEGRATIVE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER... a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over seven years of practice in conventional medicine and 37 years of varied professional healthcare experience.
As a FNP and as time passed, I noticed it was becoming more and more difficult to maintain my life-long passion! I always have been dedicated to preventative life style management of diseases. My personal quest as a primary care provider was to bring an OPEN heart and establish a therapeutic trusting relationship as a I provided high quality healthcare. Across the life span of my patients, I was driven to achieve the best possible health outcomes. However, patient's were getting sicker and medication lists were getting longer - patients were frustrated and frankly, so was I! Motivated by a personal quest of discovery and the knowledge that the body can heal itself, I found the functional medicine paradigm, and root cause medicine reignited my career passion!
There are 2 simple questions that a functional medicine provider ask as they take a life span history: what is the unmet need of this person and/or what does their body need to be rid of to heal itself?
