Wholehearted Healthcare

02/24/2026

At Wholehearted Healthcare, we believe your health story doesn’t begin and end with a lab result. It’s a circle—one that our founder, Gena Foster, intentionally designed to feel less like a clinical assembly line and more like a homecoming.

Today, we’re spotlighting the woman who helps us start that circle with such grace: our IV Nurse, Sandy Prindle.

With 18 years of experience, Sandy is the heart of our lab. Whether she’s drawing cortisol at 7:30 AM to catch your body’s natural rhythm or prepping a restorative Myers Cocktail, Sandy ensures you feel truly seen and heard before a single vial is even filled.

Gena’s vision for Wholehearted was to bridge the gap between hard data and heart-centered healing. While Sandy helps us identify the "what" through precise functional labs, Gena and our clinical team work together to translate those numbers into a path forward.

As we expand this circle of care, we are so grateful to have Larinda Fandrich, DNP, leading the way for our primary care patients. Larinda takes the insights Sandy gathers and weaves them into a long-term plan rooted in lifestyle medicine — focusing on nutrition, sleep, and nervous system regulation.

In our practice, you aren't just a patient; you are a partner. Sandy handles the data, and our practitioners (Gena and Larinda) help you write the next chapter.

✨ We are currently accepting new insurance-based primary care clients for Larinda! If you’ve been looking for a medical home that values both clinical excellence and your sacred story, we invite you into our circle.

At Wholehearted, we believe medicine works best when it moves at the pace of the human heart.

That is why our standard visits are 45–60 minutes long.

We built this space — our restored 1938 Art Moderne house — to be a place where your nervous system can actually exhale.

A place where you can share your full story, not just a list of symptoms.

This is the philosophy Larinda Fandrich, NP brings to every single interaction.

Larinda specializes in Lifestyle Medicine and Family Practice. She doesn’t just prescribe — she partners with you to look at the pillars of your life:

- Nutrition
- Sleep
- Stress load
- Movement
- Connection
- Daily rhythms
- What your body has been carrying

Because healing often happens when we stop rushing the body . . . and start listening to what it has been trying to say.

And the best news?

Larinda is currently accepting new patients through Wholehearted Healthcare, P.C. and is in-network with most major insurance plans.

You can use your insurance to receive care that feels like this:

- Slow
- Relational
- Root-cause oriented
- Trauma-informed
- Whole-person

Does your body feel like a car with one foot slamming on the gas . . . and the other foot slamming on the brake — at the same time?

Your heart races when you stand up. You feel dizzy, exhausted, shaky, or anxious without a clear trigger. Your sleep is off. Your body feels “wired and tired.”

And yet . . . standard testing often comes back “normal.”

This chaotic, silent language of the nervous system is often a sign of dysautonomia.

In the traditional medical system, symptoms like these are frequently dismissed as “just stress,” or treated individually — without looking at the root cause:

A nervous system that has lost its ability to regulate.

At Wholehearted Healthcare, we practice primary care differently.

We know you cannot heal a dysregulated nervous system in a 10-minute rush.
And we believe Lifestyle Medicine — how you sleep, move, eat, and rest — is often the medicine your nervous system is craving.

While we are an insurance-based practice, we don’t operate like a typical clinic.

We are trauma-informed and deeply relational.
We listen to the story your body is telling.

Larinda Fandrich, NP is currently welcoming new primary care patients. She specializes in the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine that create stability for a sensitive nervous system:

- Sleep
- Nourishment
- Movement
- Stress support
- Connection
- Rhythm and recovery

You do not have to navigate these symptoms alone.

You deserve a medical home where you are believed.

I’ve been sitting with a heavy realization in the clinic lately.

I am seeing so many beautiful, exhausted souls coming in on multiple medications — often stimulants prescribed for ADHD, brain fog, or focus issues.

I want to say this with tenderness, but also with the clarity of someone who looks for the root cause:

Sometimes, we are medicating fatigue . . . and calling it a focus problem.

In the standard medical model, appointments are fast. Insurance often dictates that a visit needs to include “medication management” to be reimbursed. And if someone says they can’t focus, it can feel easier to prescribe a stimulant than to ask the deeper question:

Why is your body shutting down?

But treating fatigue with a stimulant is like pressing the gas pedal on a car that is in neutral . . . or worse, a car that is out of gas.

You might get a temporary burst of energy (or anxiety), but you aren’t fixing the engine.

In fact, you may be exacerbating the problem — driving the root cause of your burnout deeper by forcing a depleted nervous system to run a marathon.

Fatigue is a messenger.

It is almost always a symptom of something else:
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Nutrient depletion
- Gut inflammation
- Hormone shifts
- Chronic stress
- A dysregulated nervous system
- A life that has required too much for too long
- A soul that is simply weary

We need to stop "pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps" . . . and start nourishing it.

If you are tired of band-aid solutions and want to understand the “why” behind your symptoms, we are here to help you navigate this with care and clarity.

How to work with us:

For Root-Cause & Lifestyle Medicine (Insurance-Based): Larinda Fandrich, NP is accepting new primary care patients. She specializes in Lifestyle Medicine and is brilliant at helping you rebuild energy from the foundation up.

For Deep-Dive Functional Medicine & Somatic Work (Concierge/Wellness): I (Gena) focus on deep integrative work and somatic healing through Wholehearted Wellness membership and consultation packages.

"Patients walk in here, and I hear this audible exhalation . . . like they just feel welcomed."

Medical offices are often described as cold, white, and clinical. But at 47th and Bancroft, in our restored 1938 Art Moderne home, we’ve created something different.

We want your nervous system to settle the moment you walk through our doors. That’s why you’ll find:

- Hot tea and water available.
- Loveseats in exam rooms instead of just cold tables.
- Calming music and a warm, homey atmosphere.
- Weighted animals for comfort if you’re feeling nervous.

This is a space created to nurture you, remind you of your worth, and welcome your whole self — just as you are.

Come in, exhale, and let us care for you.

For a new patient visit with Larinda Fandrich, DNP, we schedule approximately one hour. Why? Because we want to be respectful of your story, not just your symptoms. We want to know your "why" — do you want to be healthy to play with your grandchildren? To travel? To feel at home in your body?

We currently accept almost every major insurance plan (excluding Medicare at this time).

"I like to describe myself as a guide. I’m here to help you come up with answers yourself." — Larinda Fandrich, DNP, APRN-NP.

We are so proud to spotlight Larinda, a provider at Wholehearted Healthcare. With a doctorate in Lifestyle Medicine, Larinda doesn't just treat symptoms; she looks at the six pillars of health: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, relationships, and avoiding risky substances.

Larinda believes that change shouldn’t be overwhelming. Instead of just saying "I can't have this," she encourages clients to think about what they can add in — like more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Whether you are navigating high blood pressure, diabetes, or just want to age with vitality, Larinda is here to partner with you.

To the Cycle-Breaker Mama — We See You

There are moments when you’re in the flow with your child—
The conversation is gentle,
The connection is deep,
The respect is mutual.

And you feel it…
This is the relationship you dreamed of creating.
You’re giving what you never received.
You’re living the healing.

But later, when the house is quiet,
You get teary.
Not from regret—
But from remembering.

Your inner child didn’t get this kind of love.
And now she watches you offer it to someone else.

It’s beautiful.
It’s sacred.
And yes, it’s tender and bittersweet.

Mama, if this is you, we get you.
We see you.
We are you.

Go on, cycle-breaker mama.
You’re not alone.
We’re right here—walking this path beside you.
