Emergence Health

We are on a mission to provide every person with high-quality, holistic primary care and functional medicine.

Our treatments combine Eastern and Western medicine modalities to give you the very best tools and support to heal. Hi, my name is Leah Geoghegan and I am a board-certified Primary Care and Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner with a mission to increase access to high-quality holistic health care. My practice of medicine draws on over 6 years of experience working in both acute and primary care

settings throughout New York--from the NYU Langone Emergency Department to a private Manhattan Functional Medicine practice. From Emergency to Emergence Health, I have evolved my vision to start my own telehealth holistic practice. My company, Emergence Health, focuses on providing affordable holistic health care that works with the body’s innate ability to heal. The company ethos is the epicenter of my approach and includes listening to the body, celebrating every person’s individuality, collaborative patient-provider relationships rooted in trust, and engagement within a supportive community. I am looking to work with motivated individuals who are seeking a new way to receive health care that is less invasive, natural, and provides them with more control. I am also looking to collaborate with like-minded individuals working in the health and wellness space who share this vision of holistic health care for all. For more info, follow me on IG at and visit www.emergence.health.

Discover how functional medicine testing can uncover hidden imbalances affecting fertility and reproductive health! 🌿💖⁠
⁠
Infertility is never just about reproductive organs. Functional medicine seeks to understand 'why' and often, we've found the issue lies deeper.⁠
⁠
Here are lab tests you might not have tried but could hold the missing piece:⁠
⁠
🧠 DUTCH Hormone Test⁠
Provides a comprehensive analysis of s*x hormones and their metabolic pathways. This includes insight into estrogen metabolism, progesterone levels, and cortisol patterns, all of which play a critical role in fertility. ⁠
⁠
🦠 GI-MAP⁠
Identifies imbalances in the gut microbiome, including pathogens, parasites, and inflammation markers that may be quietly impacting hormone balance and fertility.⁠
⁠
🧬 Thyroid Panel (including antibodies)⁠
Subclinical hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid issues are often overlooked, yet critical for fertility. TSH alone is not enough.⁠
⁠
🧫 Nutrient Testing (like RBC magnesium, B12, methylation markers)⁠
Fertility depends on key micronutrients. Even “healthy” diets can leave gaps, especially in individuals post-birth control or those under chronic stress.⁠
⁠
💉 Insulin & Blood Sugar Testing⁠
PCOS or not, insulin resistance can sabotage ovulation and hormone harmony. Functional medicine dives deeper than a standard A1c.⁠
⁠
Infertility is a symptom, not a diagnosis. You deserve more than surface-level answers.⁠

Some go-to food habits are hard to break - so we're here to help with a few better options for poolside snacks for the family! 💦👙🥗🩳🌊

Summer is all about enjoying the outdoors, soaking up the sun, and yes -- indulging in those classic snacks we love. 🍉☀️

If you’re looking for a little balance or want to try something a bit cleaner without missing out on the fun, here are some simple snack swaps to consider:

Instead of Tostitos, try . They’re classic tortilla chips handmade with only three natural ingredients-- organic corn, grass fed tallow, and sea salt. They are 100% seed oil and pesticide free. And most importantly, still deliver that satisfying crunch and saltiness you crave.

Instead of traditional ice cream or popsicles, try popsicles and ice cream. Made with real fruit and natural ingredients, so you get the sweetness without artificial dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, and other not-so-great ingredients.

Instead of Gatorade, try Organic Coconut Water. It’s naturally rich in electrolytes to keep you hydrated without extra sugar or artificial flavors.

What are some snack swaps you're enjoying right now? Share them in the comments.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “inflammation is at the root of disease," but did you know it’s also deeply connected to mood, focus, and emotional well-being? 🔥🧠💧🙌🏼

When inflammation becomes chronic, it can disrupt the delicate communication between the gut, immune system, and brain. This can lead to symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, low mood, irritability, and even fatigue that feels emotional in nature.

Here’s why:
🧠 The gut-brain connection means that imbalances in the microbiome or leaky gut can trigger immune responses that affect brain chemistry.
🧠 Inflammatory cytokines, messengers released during chronic inflammation, can alter neurotransmitter production and signaling, making it harder to feel calm, clear, and emotionally steady.
🧠 Stress, poor sleep, ultra-processed foods, and hidden infections can all fuel this inflammation loop, keeping the nervous system dysregulated.

At Emergence Health, we look upstream. We calm the body’s inflammatory signals through targeted gut support, nutrient repletion, and nervous system regulation, because when the body feels safe, the mind can finally exhale.

✨ You deserve a care plan that sees the full picture.
✨ Healing your nervous system starts with healing your whole system.

Start your day the right way! Just 10 minutes of sunlight in the morning can boost dopamine, regulate cortisol, improve mood, and support mental clarity. ☀️🧠⁠
⁠
Morning light is more than just a good mood boost, it plays a key role in:⁠
⁠
🌞 Supporting cortisol regulation⁠
Cortisol isn’t bad-- it’s a hormone that helps us get going in the morning. But if it spikes at the wrong time (like at night), it disrupts sleep, mood, and metabolism. Early sunlight helps reset that rhythm naturally and give you energy to take on the day.⁠
⁠
🌞 Boosting dopamine⁠
Just a few minutes of sunlight helps increase dopamine production-- the “feel-good” neurotransmitter that supports motivation, mood, and focus.⁠
⁠
🌞 Reducing anxiety and improving mental clarity⁠
Exposure to natural light supports a calmer, more focused nervous system, which is especially helpful if you wake up feeling groggy or anxious.⁠
⁠
Easy ways to get morning sunlight:⁠
✅ Step outside with your morning coffee or tea⁠
✅ Take a 10-15 minute walk around the block⁠
✅ Sit on a porch, balcony, or by a window that gets direct light⁠
✅ Stretch or do breathwork in a sunny spot⁠
✅ Open the blinds as soon as you wake up⁠
⁠
Its important to note that in order to get the full benefits from the morning sun, you should not be wearing sunglasses and should allow the sunlight to naturally touch your face/eyes. Of note, this photo from Cape Cod was taken in the afternoon, hence me wearing my sunglasses 😉🕶️⁠

Hearing our patients' success stories and seeing the results of our care truly means the world to us. 🌟 Each journey is unique, and we feel honored to play a role in helping our patients achieve better health and well-being. 💪 We're grateful for the trust our patients place in us and are inspired by their dedication to optimizing their health. 🙏

As a functional medicine provider, this is one of the most important shifts I see in my patients--the moment they start tuning in instead of tuning out. The body is always communicating with us. Symptoms like brain fog, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, or low energy aren't just annoyances to push through, they’re signals that something deeper needs attention. 🔍💛

In our modern world that thrives on an 'attention economy,' our attention span and time are spread so thin. Oftentimes, when I begin working with new patients they may feel disconnected with their bodies and have trouble articulating what is wrong or drawing connections between their environment, choices and how they feel. This is incredibly common and not something to be ashamed about. Observing and listening are skills that can be taught.

We begin asking: Why is this happening? What is your body asking for? When you start listening with curiosity and openness instead of frustration and judgement, you create space for healing to happen at the root level. Not just symptom relief, but real, lasting change. 🌱

Your body isn’t broken. It’s wise, responsive, and trying to protect you. So I hope this post acts as a reminder that the first step toward healing is slowing down and listening. ✨

5 Surprising Facts About Tick-Borne Diseases 🕷️🧬⁠
⁠
1️⃣ No rash? Doesn’t mean no Lyme.⁠
That classic bulls-eye rash? It only shows up in about 30% of Lyme cases. You can still have Lyme without it--and many do.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Transmission can be instant.⁠
Contrary to popular belief, some tick-borne pathogens (like Powassan virus) can be transmitted within minutes--not hours. Don’t rely on the “24-48 hour rule or only if the tick is latched on" to feel safe.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ It’s not just Lyme.⁠
Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever…these tick borne co-infections are often missed and can be just as serious as Lyme.⁠
⁠
4️⃣ Ticks aren’t just in the woods⁠
They're now in urban parks, beach grass, backyards, even city gardens. Thanks to climate change and animal migration patterns, tick territory is expanding across the U.S--including coastal and northern states. 🏙️🌿⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Symptoms can show up way later.⁠
Some infections can stay dormant and surface weeks or even months after a bite. Fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, fevers…it’s not always immediate, and not always obvious.⁠

✨ What it is like to work at Emergence Health!⁠
⁠
Hi everyone! 👋 My name is Meaghan, and I am Leah’s Functional Medicine Assistant and a Registered Nurse. I am also currently a Family Nurse Practitioner student at Yale, with a passion for functional medicine and whole-person care.⁠
⁠
💫 What I LOVE about functional medicine and the art of medicine practiced at EH:⁠
⁠
- The deep focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of health challenges rather than simply managing symptoms. This approach allows for lasting healing and real transformation.⁠
⁠
- The personalized care that recognizes each patient’s unique biology, history, and lifestyle, ensuring treatment plans are tailored specifically to their needs.⁠
⁠
- Witnessing firsthand how intentional lifestyle changes, targeted nutrition, and natural therapies can dramatically improve patients’ health, energy, and quality of life.⁠
⁠
- The beautiful integration of cutting-edge science with compassionate, patient-centered care. Leah treats the whole person- body, mind, and spirit- not just a diagnosis or lab result.⁠
⁠
- Being part of a healthcare team that empowers patients to become active participants in their healing journeys, giving them hope, control, and confidence in their health.⁠
⁠
I am truly grateful to be part of Emergence Health and excited for what lies ahead as I continue my journey to becoming a family nurse practitioner specializing in functional medicine!⁠

Rest is just as important as action. 🧘‍♀️✨⁠
⁠
In a world that praises productivity, it can feel hard to slow down--but your body isn’t built to go full speed all the time. Rest isn’t a luxury or a reward, it’s a biological necessity.⁠
⁠
You actually can’t have sustainable action without rest.⁠
Just like a muscle needs recovery between workouts, your whole system needs space to recharge so it can function at its best.⁠
⁠
Rest supports:⁠
💤 Hormone regulation⁠
🧠 Brain detox and memory consolidation⁠
🫀 Heart health and blood pressure⁠
🛡️ A stronger immune system⁠
🌿 Reduced inflammation and better recovery⁠
⁠
Whether it’s sleep, stillness, or just stepping away for a few minutes--rest creates the foundation your body needs to function, heal, and thrive.⁠
⁠
So if you're feeling tired…it's okay to pause. When your body needs rest, it's wise to listen. 💛⁠
