Our Amazing Clinic Team

Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer. My journey into health and wellness didn’t start in a classroom, it started in my own body. As a teenager, I began experiencing debilitating stomach pain after being put on birth control. The pain was unpredictable—gone when I stopped the medication, back with a vengeance when I resumed it. This cycle dragged on for years, sending me to the ER multiple times, only to be dismissed as a drug seeker.

While I was in physician assistant school, things escalated. I developed excruciating pain in my right shoulder, and during an EMT course I learned about organ referral patterns. I realized I might be having a gallbladder attack. I was right. An ultrasound revealed multiple gallstones and severe pancreatitis. Surgery saved my life, but not my health. The stomach pain never went away.

After seeing specialist after specialist, I finally got a colonoscopy that confirmed ulcerative colitis. When I questioned the safety of the medication they wanted me to take (one with side effects that included death) I was met with fear tactics. I was told that if I didn’t take it, I would lose my colon. That moment was a breaking point. As a single widowed mom with three children, I couldn’t accept that as my only future.

  Hi! I’m Caroline, Dr. Jennifer’s Patient Experience Manager. My journey into functional medicine began with my own health struggles. In my mid-20s, I started facing thyroid issues, gut health challenges, and infertility. I tried to piece things together on my own and eventually found a chiropractor in Texas who practiced functional medicine. Through their guidance, I was able to regulate my thyroid naturally and conceive without medical intervention. That experience completely shifted the way I looked at health.
