Our practice focuses on designing custom treatment programs based on unique health histories, specialized lab tests, individual risk assessments, and customized therapies that allow us to help our patients achieve and maintain optimal levels of performance. The basis of anti-aging, longevity and functional medicine is to reverse the causes of aging by reducing oxidative stress by free radicals, improving hormone levels, stopping immunological deterioration, supporting genetic mutations, and improving cellular function.
We utilize the latest research findings in nutrition, supplements, and other tools for restoring balance in the body's primary physiological processes. At times medications are necessary while we are identifying the individual patients root cause of disease. We treat the whole person, and not just the symptoms.
The basis of anti-aging, longevity and functional medicine is to:
Enhance health through monitoring bio-markers, personalized nutrition, and optimum doses of proven antioxidants and nutraceuticals; to aide in reducing glycation, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
Restore nutrient deficiencies to optimize methylation, detoxification, and immune function; to reduce epigenetic changes and decrease the risk for the development of chronic disease.
Support sulfotransferase enzymes which catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones and neurotransmitter to aide in restoring adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones to optimal levels.
Improve physical exercise performance, which includes cardiovascular as well as strength and flexibility training.
Reduce stress and improve mindfulness, gratitude and happiness.
We see patients from birth to across the lifespan. We strongly believe the philosophy of Dr. Volter Longo, "The seeds of longevity are planted in childhood". We encourage family nutrition to ensure that all family members, no matter their age have an opportunity for a long and healthy life free of disease.
Our values center on patient-centered care that extends beyond symptom management. We specialize in anti-aging, metabolic, functional, and environmental medicine, focusing on personalized healthcare to promote longevity and address root causes of illness. Our holistic approach views the body as an interconnected system, prioritizing natural healing and lasting wellness over superficial treatments.
We create tailored treatment plans based on individual health histories, specialized labs, and risk assessments. Incorporating cutting-edge research, we use nutrition, supplements, and targeted therapies to restore balance and optimize key physiological processes.
Our approach includes reversing aging factors, monitoring biomarkers, addressing oxidative stress, restoring nutrient deficiencies, and enhancing mental and physical performance. Guided by the belief that "The seeds of longevity are planted in childhood," we advocate for family-focused nutrition to support health at every age, empowering long, disease-free lives.
Kristen is a certified AANP family nurse practitioner and board-certified diplomat in anti-aging, functional, and metabolic medicine. She completed a fellowship through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and specializes in environmental acquired illnesses, including mold-related/fungal mycotoxin disease (CIRS), tick-borne diseases (TBD), heavy metal toxicity, PANS/PANDAS, as well as other infections. Kristen is committed to finding the root cause of disease, ensuring her patients receive personalized and comprehensive care.
Kristen trained under world-renowned authors: Dr. Neil Nathan, a leading expert in mold-related illness (CIRS); Dr. Jill Crista, a leading expert in PANS and PANDAS; and Dr. Steven Harris, the President-Elect of ILADS and a renowned expert in tick-borne diseases. She is skilled in IV nutraceutical therapy, chelation, HBO2, IVIG, and is an RGCC cancer therapy provider, allowing her to offer advanced treatment options to her patients. As co-owner of Be-Well Medicine, she provides comprehensive care across all life stages.
Outside her professional life, Kristen is a wife, mother of five, Meemaw of two, and a homeschool mom to her two youngest. A proud Alaskan, she cherishes family time, making music with her band, podcasting, writing, and exploring the stunning Alaskan outdoors.
Our team of health coaches boasts a collective experience exceeding 15 years in anti-aging, metabolic, and functional medicine across diverse environments. Since 2019, they have been diligently collaborating with patients suffering from environmentally acquired illnesses such as mold illness (CIRS), Lyme and Co-infections, and heavy metal toxicity to achieve optimal wellness.
