👉 Alicia Barkholtz, FNP-C | Forum Health

Alicia Barkholtz, FNP-C, is a Family Nurse Practitioner who serves patients virtually, primarily supporting individuals in Wisconsin and Tennessee. She specializes in hormone therapy and medical weight loss, combining a functional approach with her extensive clinical experience to support her patients on their health journeys.

Alicia’s practice style is collaborative, working closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that balance happiness and health, recognizing that it’s unique for each individual. Her passion for integrative medicine began during her undergraduate studies when a close family member became seriously ill and conventional medicine couldn’t provide answers. After turning to holistic care and seeing the remarkable impact it had on her loved one’s recovery, she became committed to the principles of integrative and functional medicine.

Outside of the practice, Alicia is an outdoor enthusiast who loves running, hunting, fishing, and spending time in nature. She cherishes time with her husband, Jordan, their energetic springer spaniel, Kip, and their wonderful daughter, Haven.

From energy to mood, detox, nutrients, and the microbiome, the Organic Acids Test turns hidden imbalances into a clear, you-specific roadmap, so your plan isn’t guesswork.

🧠 Neurotransmitters: Insights tied to mood, focus, and sleep.
🛡️ Detox: Signals for oxidative stress and detox capacity.
🥕 Nutrients: Functional flags to guide precise food + targeted supplements.
🦠 Gut Microbiome: Metabolites that hint at dysbiosis and fermentation patterns.
🧬 Amino Acids: How you’re using and recycling protein.
🍄 Overgrowth — Markers that can correlate with bloating, brain fog, and skin flares.

Why it helps: Instead of chasing symptoms, you get actionable next steps rooted in your data.
