Dr. Krista Nguyen, DNP, AGNP-C, CFNMP
After 18 years in the medical field, I grew frustrated with the deteriorating health of my patients. The conventional approach—characterized by escalating medication doses, numerous specialist referrals, and mounting costs—failed to alleviate their suffering. I came to understand that traditional medicine tends to be reactive, focusing on symptom management rather than uncovering the underlying causes of illness. This realization prompted my shift to functional medicine, enabling me to empower my patients in taking control of their health.
