Hello! I am Brittany Heyden and I have been in healthcare for over 20 years.

🩺Functional Medicine NP
🌿 Vitality Strategist for High-Achieving Women

🔗 Be Exquisitely You, Inside & Out After battling for nearly a decade with health problems, I discovered and fell in love with functional medicine. I had to dig deep to determine the root cause of my health issues and knew if the healthcare system had failed me, it was likely failing others. I returned to school to become a nurse practitioner and study functional medicine so I could help women find the root cause of their health problems and reclaim their lives! My mission is to renew energy and mental clarity, revive health and vitality, and restore cellular function so you can live a vivacious life!

Why healing feels lighter when you start in the right place
Most women have been taught to push for more, more energy, more discipline, more optimization.

But the body doesn’t work that way.
Before it moves forward, it looks for stability.

I often see women realize that their symptoms weren’t random at all, their body was asking for healing in a different order.

Once that makes sense, the process feels lighter.
Not because they’re doing less, but because they’re finally working with their body instead of against it.

What I see repeatedly when the gut is finally addressed
The women who improve the most aren't the ones doing more.
They're the ones whose care finally matches what their body has been asking for.

When the gut starts calming down, I consistently see:
• fewer random reactions
• steadier energy
• less fear around food
• more confidence in their own body

The change isn't dramatic at first.
It's reliable.
And reliability is what builds trust again.

If you're tired of trial-and-error and want to understand where to start, DM me GUT and I'll walk you through the next steps.

Why I never rush healing
I’ve learned both personally and in practice that pushing healing too fast usually slows progress.
When the gut is still irritated, everything requires more effort.
When it’s addressed early, things move forward with much less resistance.
That’s why I don’t chase aggressive protocols.
I’ve seen too many women feel worse when their systems were pushed before they were ready.
My goal isn’t speed.
It’s progress that actually lasts.

If you resonate with a steady, thoughtful approach to healing, DM me GUT.

Why I look at the gut before hormones or metabolism
When a woman tells me her hormones feel off or her metabolism has stalled, I don’t start there.
I look at the gut first.
Because when the gut stays irritated, the immune system stays slightly activated and an inflamed system rarely responds well to hormone or metabolic work.

This is something I see over and over in practice.
Women come in frustrated because they’re doing all the right things, yet their bodies feel unpredictable.
Energy fluctuates.
Foods suddenly feel reactive.
Supplements don’t seem to land.
What’s happening underneath is usually straightforward: the body is spending energy managing irritation instead of repairing.
And when that’s happening, trying to push hormones or weight loss strategies often creates more frustration than progress.

So before I adjust hormones or focus on metabolism, I ask:
Is the gut calm enough for the body to actually respond?

Because once the gut starts settling down, everything else tends to move forward more easily — hormones included.
That’s not theory.
It’s a pattern I see repeatedly.
If you want to understand how I identify gut-driven patterns in labs or why your body may not be responding like you expect — DM me GUT.

Immune regulation is rarely the most visible part of healing but it’s often the most important.
It creates stability.
And stability changes how the body responds to everything else.
Many women are surprised to learn that their symptoms weren’t random
they were signals asking for regulation before acceleration.
If this week resonated, that awareness alone is meaningful.
Understanding what your body has been prioritizing is often the first step toward changing it.

If you’d like help understanding your own signals, whether through labs, education, or next steps — DM me IMMUNE and I’ll guide you from there.
