About Me
My Story
My health journey began at age eight, with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Growing up with an autoimmune condition, I experienced multiple hospitalizations, long-term prescription medications, & ongoing clinical challenges.
Through navigating my own health struggles, I was inspired to begin my training in PA school, grounded in conventional care. Over time, I knew that healing involved more, which led me to experience the powerful role functional medicine & optimal nutrition had in restoring my health. That realization led me to transition my masters into functional, root-cause medicine.
I hold a Master’s in Functional Medicine & Nutrition from the University of Western States, am a CNS candidate, and am completing certifications as a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and a Master in Blood Chemistry with Dr. Bryan Walsh, while becoming a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine.
My Philosophy
I take a comprehensive, individualized, evidence-based approach--exploring your health picture from the beginning. I assess key life events, diet, lifestyle, toxic burdens, & overall health history to uncover root causes.
I use advanced functional lab testing, stool analysis, hormone metabolite testing, food sensitivity testing, and other diagnostic tools, to analyze patterns impacting your health.
I focus on achievable steps, building a strong foundation for long-term wellness. Healing takes time, restoring balance is a process, & every step matters.
My specialties include gut health, hormones, and the interconnected systems that influence women’s health, guiding you toward sustainable, vibrant health. Male clients are seen on a case-by-case basis.

Patient Testimonials
Cristin brings a level of care that’s hard to find these days. From the very beginning, she took a genuinely customized approach, listening closely, taking my concerns seriously, and making sure I always felt heard.
She stayed in touch consistently, even on weekends, and never hesitated to answer my many questions.
Her depth of knowledge was clear, especially when it came to understanding how sensitive my body react to treatments.
She adjusted everything with precision and never pushed anything that didn’t feel right for me. That kind of attention isn’t common, and it made all the difference.
For anyone dealing with medical challenges, particularly complex or chronic issues, I can’t recommend Cristin highly enough.
She blends expertise with compassion, and that combination goes a long way when you’re navigating health concerns.
Z.P
There was an instance connection when I met Cristin. She asked me different kinds of caring questions about my health that made me feel all was not lost and she was going to get to the bottom of what was going on with my health.
I call her my angel because my diet selection was very small and she provided me with many options with foods I was allowed to eat.
With her support, patience and guidance; I have gained weight, no longer on prescription meds and I can now go to restaurants because I can eat an entire meal in one setting!
Cristin, also has a great sense of humor and she got me; therefore, she became a part of my healing journey and made it easier. She asked about me, not only about my health but me.
In addition, she taught me how to reduce stress levels so my food can fully digest. I will never forget all Cristin has taught me and now I am maintaining my health and out of the woods, thanks to my Angel Cristin.
C.P.
Cristin is an incredibly well trained, thorough, analytical and empathic healthcare professional. She has an ideal combination of academic training combined with previous work experience and innate talent, skills, abilities and characteristics that make her well suited for the profession that she has chosen.
In my case she was able to conduct an interview of my health background, combine that with thorough lab results, family history, and lifestyle to develop a plan of action to support healing and recovery of my health.
Cristin was diligent about checking in with how I was feeling on almost a daily basis; providing "just in time" coaching, counseling, and adjustments to my customized plan of action.
I have lived with pain and disease in my body for many years. I have had to bridge the gap between eastern and western medicine to determine my best course of action. Consequently, I have become a strong advocate for myself. Cristin became an even stronger advocate for me. She kept me motivated, positive, and determined that I could heal. I would recommend Cristin to any patient!
