North Star Functional Health

03/16/2026

Somewhere along the way we were taught that feeling exhausted, anxious, foggy, inflamed, or just not like ourselves was “normal.”

It’s not.

Your body doesn’t just randomly stop working well.

There is always a reason:
✨ Nutrient deficiencies
✨ Gut imbalances
✨ Hormone shifts
✨ Inflammation
✨ Hidden infections or toxins

When we take the time to look deeper, the body usually tells us exactly what it needs.

That’s the heart of functional medicine — finding the why, not just managing the symptoms.

At North Star Functional Health, my goal is simple:
To give you hope for your health and a clear path forward.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself… you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

There are answers.

And sometimes all it takes is someone willing to look a little deeper. ✨

If you’re ready to start your health journey, schedule a your new patient evaluation today.

I’m back to 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤, and it’s good to be back doing what I love. Last week I stepped away for something really special in our family, and it was a beautiful reminder of why the work we do in health truly matters — feeling well enough to be present for the moments that matter most. 🤍

Coming back this week, my schedule filled very quickly and 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust so many of you place in me to help navigate your health — whether that’s finding answers after years of being told everything looks “normal,” helping balance hormones, working through gut issues, supporting mental health, or helping kids get back on track.

If you’ve been thinking about scheduling but haven’t yet, now is a great time to book for March. Appointments are already starting to fill, and I want to make sure those of you who have been waiting or considering it have the opportunity to get on the schedule.

If you’re ready to start digging deeper into your health and finally get some answers, I would love to help guide you through that process. Message me to get started

✨ A Quick Update ✨

This week our office will be closed to appointments due to a family matter.

Thank you so much to the clients who kindly adjusted their schedules — your grace and flexibility mean the world. 🤍

While we won’t be open to appointments this week, our program clients will continue to have access to messaging support, and we will still be returning emails and phone calls throughout the week.

With the schedule shift, we now have increased availability toward the end of the month. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to begin — this is it.

Back to regular appointments next week.

Whether you’re ready to:
• Take control of your weight and metabolism
• Get to the root of hormone or gut symptoms
• Support your child with Autism
• Or finally stop putting your health on the back burner

We would love to walk that journey with you. 🌿

WOW. 800 of you. 🥹✨

Eight. Hundred. Humans. Following along, cheering us on, trusting us with your health. That’s not small to me. That’s everything.

Did you know 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 is a small, women-owned business?

Just two women in medicine who felt like there had to be more.
More answers.
More digging.
More listening.

We love learning. We refuse to take “everything looks normal” as the end of the story. We keep asking why. We keep connecting dots. We keep digging until our patients feel like themselves again. 💙

No big corporation.
No fancy investors.
Just purpose, passion, and a mission to bring hope for your health.

If you’ve ever thought, “I love what you’re doing — how can I help?” here’s the honest answer:

⭐ 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.
Click the three dots in the upper right corner → tap “Invite Friends” → select away. It takes less than a minute and makes a HUGE difference for a small business like ours.

⭐ 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰.
Your words matter. They help other families feel safe reaching out. They help more people find answers. They help us grow.

Every share. Every review. Every referral.
It keeps this dream alive.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for being here. 💫

Onward to 1,000

You know how you tell yourself,
“I really should schedule that appointment…”
…and then life does what life does? 🫠

Between work, kids, sports, laundry, after-school meltdowns, and trying to remember if you drank water today… it gets pushed out again.

So here’s your little nudge.

✨ 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟵–𝟯, 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆.
𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿.

If your weight feels stuck no matter how “good” you’re being…
If your hormones are chaotic…
If your labs made zero sense…
If your child is struggling with focus, behavior, gut issues, or you’re looking for root-cause support for autism…

Now is the time.

You don’t have to keep guessing.
You don’t have to keep managing symptoms alone.

Sometimes the biggest shift in your health (or your child’s) starts with simply sending the message.

I’m excited to share that I’ve started the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🤍

This program is designed to give clinicians advanced tools and frameworks for supporting children with autism—and that directly benefits the kids I work with. It builds on my existing functional and integrative medicine approach by providing a deeper understanding of how the body and brain work together.

Here’s how this training helps me support your child:
✨ 𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – Understanding how digestion, inflammation, and immune function impact behavior, focus, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
✨ 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Identifying and addressing nutrient gaps, mitochondrial function, and energy metabolism to support brain development and daily functioning.
✨ 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – Helping reduce the impact of toxins or stressors that may influence neurological and immune function.
✨ 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱, 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲-𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 – Moving beyond symptom management to a targeted approach based on each child’s unique biology and needs.
✨ 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – Strategies that support sleep, mood, attention, sensory regulation, and emotional balance.

This certification strengthens my ability to create care plans that are precise, intentional, and tailored to your child, while keeping the focus on their health, development, and quality of life.

I’m committed to bringing this knowledge directly into my work so families feel supported, informed, and confident in the care their child receives. 💙

🏈 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀,
Why do you hit so hard the next day??

𝗜𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁:
😴 a food hangover
🥨 bloating that won’t quit
⚖️ jeans suddenly feeling offended
😩 and that “I’ll start over next week” spiral

…you’re in VERY good company.

𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪:
One night of chips, wings, and queso didn’t “ruin” your weight or your health.
But if your body always feels sluggish, puffy, inflamed, or out of control after days like this — that’s not a willpower issue. That’s a metabolism, hormone, gut, or inflammation issue 👀

At North Star Functional Health, we don’t shame food or tell you to “just eat less.”
We look at:
✨ why your body holds onto weight
✨ why cravings feel intense
✨ why energy crashes happen
✨ why the scale doesn’t match your effort

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁:
• 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
• 𝗚𝗟𝗣 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘀)
• 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 & 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
• 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 + 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
• 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲

…we’ve got you.

🎯 If Super Bowl snacks left you feeling sluggish, discouraged, or frustrated with your weight — this is your sign.
Let’s get your body working with you again.

Because feeling “blah” after every fun day isn’t normal — and it’s absolutely fixable. 💙

What if the problem isn’t you…
but your body asking for support?

So many women are told they’re “fine”
while feeling exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and stuck.
Normal labs don’t always mean optimal health.

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s communicating.

And when we listen — really listen —
we can find the root cause and create real healing.

✨ There is hope for your health.
