Lynda Sherland is committed to combining the best of conventional medicine with proven complementary and alternative approaches for people who have not found their solutions in the traditional medical system. She has been in practice for 17 years and has extensive experience counseling patients in best use of nutrition to decrease the need for medication. Her focus is on anti inflammatory options
which aid in prevention and management of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. She has helped many patients change their lifestyle related to food and movement. She uses approaches that take into consideration her patient's’ goals and personal preferences. Patients have seen their risk markers decline, had more energy, and decreased physical symptoms as a result of implementation of recommended interventions. Lynda teaches about nutrition in a fun and engaging way that encourages exploration of new foods rather than dread about dietary restrictions. In addition to primary care, Lynda’s focus at Integrative Family Medicine will continue to include her unique approaches to nutrition and chronic disease prevention. As a palliative medicine practitioner, she also understands the importance of cancer patients and survivors wanting a health care provider who has time to listen, can help with symptom management, and who understands the loss people experience when they have such a life changing diagnosis. She is knowledgeable about supplements, botanicals, and other complementary approaches. Lynda provides both support and medical expertise in her approach. Education:
