MEET YOUR DOCTOR
Hi there!
I'm Dr. Nadine Brinton, DC, FMACP
I’m a healthcare provider passionate about helping women build the health they need to thrive at work and at home.
I struggled with fatigue, irritability, body pain, gut issues, and deep trauma. I suffered—until I discovered functional medicine.
Now, I’ve combined everything I’ve learned into one transformational program. It helped me succeed as an entrepreneur, raise a family, and show up as a supportive, loving partner.
I now maintain a steady weight, love my body, confidently use my voice, and understand my moods. These shifts empower me to live well—with real hope for today and tomorrow.

FAQs
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of illness. It considers the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and lifestyle to optimize health and prevent disease.
Why Functional Medicine Labs are Different?
Unlike standard labs that look for disease within a broad “normal” range, functional labs dig deeper.
They evaluate optimal ranges and uncover subtle imbalances before they escalate.
These tests examine hormones, gut health, inflammation, micronutrients, and metabolic function—giving you a full picture of your body.
That’s how we create truly personalized plans that restore balance—not just manage symptoms.
What to Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation
Your consultation includes a thorough review of your health history, symptoms, environment, and lifestyle.
Together, we create a customized plan that gets to the real reasons you don’t feel your best.
How Long Until I See Results?
Your results will depend on the complexity of your case, your commitment to the plan, and a few other factors.
Some women feel improvement quickly—others need time to peel back the layers. We walk with you every step of the way.
