Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

When we talk about managing energy levels and cravings, we often focus on big-picture things like diet and exercise.

Berberine is a bioactive compound found in several plants, including goldenseal, barberry, and Oregon grape. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, particularly in Chinese and Ayurvedic practices, for its broad range of health benefits.

Why Blood Sugar Balance is Key to Your Health

Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

In functional medicine, we focus on addressing the root causes of health issues. One of the most crucial factors in maintaining good health is balanced blood sugar. Blood sugar, or glucose, is essential for energy, but when it's out of balance, it can lead to fatigue, weight gain, hormonal disruptions, and even chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

We offer a phone consultation with our Nurse Practitioner, Mackenzie Jones, in which you’ll review your symptoms, goals, and what you may have tried in the past. She will then discuss how she would approach your case. The discovery call is 30 minutes long and the investment is $50. This step is optional. No direct medical advice is given at this appointment.
