About
You want to feel in control of your health, but don’t know where to start. Seeing your regular healthcare provider has left you feeling hopeless, frustrated, and maybe even a bit angry.
You’re tired of prescription medications and the side effects that go along with them. And you’re not getting the answers to “why” your health issues are even happening in the first place.
I’ve been there too.
Hi, I’m Amber Rudd.
As a nurse practitioner trained in functional medicine, I work with people who are motivated and ready to improve their health – for good.
They’re ready to get back to living their lives with fewer symptoms, less worry, and more control. They’re not looking for a magic supplement or the next fad diet – they’re looking for real long-term solutions.
In my clinic I do just this. I don’t give medications or supplements simply to suppress your symptoms.
My goal is to investigate – to find and fix the root cause of your symptoms. When we fix the root of the problem we are more likely to reverse the process and get lasting results.
Like you, I have been frustrated with the answers (or sometimes lack of) that conventional medicine provides. I’ve been on multiple medications and was told that I would likely need them for the rest of my life. This was not an acceptable answer for me.
A Better Way
In conventional medicine we are led to believe that so much of our health and wellness is out of our control and just “happens” to us.
While we don’t have complete control over our health outcomes, we do have more control than we think.
And that control comes from removing the things that are causing disruption and adding the things back in that the body needs more of.
To do this my main areas of focus include:
- Unknown food intolerances
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Gut flora imbalances
- Hormone imbalances
- Toxin exposure
- Sleep
- Stress
- Movement
By addressing these areas and giving you clear actionable steps, together we can get you back on the road to true health and healing.
My Story
I’ve worked in conventional medicine as a family nurse practitioner and registered nurse for over 13 years and I’ve realized that while it’s great at fixing us when we have an acute illness or physical trauma, it’s not serving us well for preventative care or chronic illness.
Early on I knew there had to be a better way and began researching nutrition and evidence-based natural remedies. Later on, when I stumbled across functional medicine, it stopped me in my tracks.
This is the answer! Finding and fixing the root cause of our health issues is the answer.
And I believe functional medicine is what primary care should be – and hopefully soon will be.
A Glimmer of Hope
I started applying these principles to my own family and have since had two healthy children who rarely get sick and have never needed antibiotics.
I was able to get off all medications and my health significantly improved – from better sleep to clearer skin, to being migraine free, to less colds and flus, improved digestion, and resolved nasal congestion.
I quickly discovered that this was my purpose and passion. I not only wanted to provide these real solutions to my family and friends, but also to my patients and my community.
I received training from Chris Kresser’s ADAPT Practitioner Training Program, which is the only program that combines Functional Medicine with an ancestral health approach. I am now able to help people like you searching for a different way – a better way.
