The Practice
The practice I wished
had existed for me.
Synergy was built from lived experience — the kind that changes how you practice medicine, and why.
I've been a nurse practitioner for nearly 20 years. I spent most of that career in conventional medicine — urgent care, primary care, women's health. And for most of it, I watched the same thing happen over and over: a woman would come in clearly struggling. Her labs would come back "normal." And she'd be sent home without answers.
I knew it was wrong. Because I was living it myself.
As a mom of two, running a demanding career, my own hormones were quietly unraveling — affected by pregnancies, breastfeeding, birth control, stress, and the environmental load we all carry. I kept pushing it to the side. And I kept not finding answers in the system I was part of.
"Studying functional medicine changed everything for me. I finally understood what I was seeing in my patients — and in myself."
I couldn't unsee it. And I couldn't keep practicing the old way. Synergy exists because of that turning point — the practice I wished had existed for me, and for every patient I couldn't fully help inside the conventional system.
Here, you get the time, the testing, and the care you actually deserve.
