Who We Help

Illness occurs when our genes are triggered (expressed) because of some environment exposure (toxins, allergens, microbes, nutrition, stress) plus lifestyle (what we think, feel and do – or what trauma has occurred).

Using functional medicine and lifestyle medicine philosophies, we help individuals who have a wide variety of conditions including:

Autoimmune diseases – thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, etc.
Cardiometabolic conditions – diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease
Digestive disorders – irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, chronic pancreatitis, acid reflux, diverticulosis and gut dysbiosis
Hormonal imbalances – thyroid conditions, PMS, menopause, PCOS, sleep challenges, weight gain, weight loss
Lifestyle complications – lack of energy, chronic fatigue, brain fog, disrupted sleep, low sex drive
Neurological and psychiatric conditions – depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), addiction (cravings) and migraine headaches
Respiratory conditions – asthma, allergies
Skin disorders – psoriasis, acne and eczema

“she saved my life”

I am very happy to report that I no longer suffer from the stomach issues, I’ve lost 16 pounds, I am sleeping better, I have a lot more energy, brain fog has lifted and my hair and nails are growing again! Thank you, Kara, for vastly improving my quality of life! – Carrie P.

“she provides such clarity”

Kara is truly focused on helping me to improve my health and overall quality of life. I got more helpful and practical information in one meeting with Kara than I have received from the other 3 doctors I saw before her. I can’t thank Kara enough! She is truly a blessing! – Ellen

“i can’t recommend her enough”

I wish I had known Kara 20 years ago when my health started declining. She is like Scotland Yard in ferreting out the root cause(s) and then empowering clients with the appropriate tools and protocols. You definitely will feel respected and I can not recommend her highly enough! – Sandi

“i can now navigate a new lifestyle”

Kara is an incredibly intelligent, giving, caring, and loving practitioner who will go to the ends of the earth for her patients. The resources she has equipped us with have been so helpful in trying to navigate our new healthy lifestyle. Anyone who needs help sorting out the root cause of their signs and symptoms, you need Kara as your detective! – Lauren

“compassionate & knowledgeable”

Kara is very knowledgeable on top of being compassionate and caring. She identified major issues that were standing in the way of my health that even my doctor missed. Once I got those areas identified, she helped me implement solutions – and that made all the difference to my health. I am so very grateful for her!! – Sheryl G.

“i feel great now”

Before working with Kara, I was tired, overweight and apathetic about my life. My doctor told me that I was depressed and I should see a therapist! Kara was able to identify a problem that was buried in my labs and health history – and now both my body and mind feel more stable and energetic than ever, and I know how to take care of myself and advocate for my health as well. – Jess D.
