After spending 20 years as a PA specializing in the study of disease, Sheri decided to use her Masters in Health Science from Duke School of Medicine to become a Functional Medicine Practitioner and help people find better health by uncovering the 'root cause' of their symptoms.
Functional medicine stands in the gap between what we want from our medical professionals and what they are able to provide in our current managed care system. It is a science based approach to medicine that always investigates 'why' the body responding like this and 'how' are all aspects of a person's diet, lifestyle, and environment working together to produce the current state of health or disease. By working with a functional medicine practitioner, you are more likely to fulfill the recommendations of your doctor by having an individualized health plan that grows and changes with you as more and more details of how your body responds to your choices come into focus.
