Health And Wellness

Heather is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner through IFM. Her passion is healing the gut, detoxing the body, and balancing hormones.

Heather received her nursing degree from Westminster College in 2003 and a Master of Nursing from Westminster in 2012. She also served on the faculty of the masters of the nursing program at Westminster College. Heather brings knowledge and experience to the Raw Inside and Out team.

Heather has been treating patients at some level for more than half of her life, and she has often been disappointed with patient outcomes using only traditional medicine and ignoring the root of the problem. It is simple to diagnose an illness and prescribe medication, but the challenge is finding where and when the problem occurred. Heather takes the appropriate steps in changing lifestyle behaviors and creating a personalized plan to achieve her patient’s ultimate wellness.

​”I believe lifestyle medicine needs to be the primary intervention.  Without addressing the basic needs: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress, the healing is incomplete. I am very passionate about treating your gut as it is important for all  your body functions.”

Heather looks at individual food plans and works on improving your Microbiome that is essential in balancing your body and working toward optimal health.

Along with the gut, detoxing your body and exploring the potential toxins that can impair health is necessary. Balancing hormones is an essential element in your wellness. When chronic health concerns have been ongoing, hormones tend to suffer as a result. Hormones, gut health, and detoxing are all critical and must be examined together.
