Meet Kirsty Elwell, Physician Assistant
Kirsty Elwell worked in the traditional medical world until she
became sick and tired of being sick and tired. She had been working
alongside excellent primary care and emergency room physicians but found that she couldn't get answers to her own health issues.
She is thankful to have found Functional Medicine and has been
improving her own health using Functional Medicine principles. She decided to pursue her own certification in Functional Medicine so that she could help people like herself to find better health through finding the root causes of illness and applying both nutrition and lifestyle changes to affect change.
Kirsty is being mentored by Dr. Miller and is ready to start seeing
her own patients under supervision by Dr. Miller while she finishes her Functional Medicine certification training. She brings compassionate empathetic care to our patients and we are excited to see her grow her practice and benefit our community with her unique gifts.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine combines the structure of evidence-based systems medicine with the framework of approaching the whole individual with their particular genetics, epigenetics, environmental, emotional, cultural and spiritual influences on health along with their lifestyle factors that impact health to determine each person's root causes of illness and disease. The focus is not on naming or quantifying disease and treating symptoms but on discovering root causes and addressing those factors to allow for the body to heal itself in the most natural way possible. Removing factors that contribute to disease and adding factors that contribute to health are the bedrock of personalized therapeutic treatment plans you will receive.
