Metabolic medicine
The practice of harmonizing your input and your output to reverse symptoms, to reverse disease in the body. This applies to food, environment, relationships, energy, and information. Everything you take in must be processed, utilized, and released, and how efficiently you do this directly correlates with your vitality. We run your labs, make lifestyle adjustments, use supplements and medications when we need to, and we make it stick. Period. My 20+ years of coaching women through these metabolic and LIFE transitions will help you reverse prediabetes and diabetes, lower your cardiovascular risk, improve your energy, help you lose weight and build muscle, and improve overall sense of well-being.

Meet Allison
I’m a board-certified Physician Associate specializing in hormone replacement therapy, metabolic medicine, and heart-led coaching to reverse chronic illness and promote vitality in your body. I’m also a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Fellowship-trained Functional Medicine clinician. (Functional medicine training includes in-depth hormone therapy training.) My background ranges from conventional primary care to complex chronic illness management, from orthopedic surgery including neurosurgery and upper extremities, to women’s health, urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery. I have developed community metabolic wellness programs for a large healthcare system, and have cultivated a professional climate focused heavily on patient education and empowerment. I also guest lecture PA students on the foundations of integrative medicine at Pacific University in Oregon. It is essential to train new clinicians in heart-led, comprehensive, foundational medicine.
I help educate humans about tending to their temples through education on optimizing metabolic health, balancing hormones, gut healing, and through heart-led coaching. We employ courage, willingness, and vulnerability, unraveling and rewriting old stories to help you thrive in a healthy body and be your true self—embodied and fully alive.
I have worked with thousands of patients and clients for the past 20 years in healthcare and I have observed patterns, listened to hearts, and, through my breadth of experience, have gained wisdom on what you need to feel amazing in your body.
It is my humble privilege to serve in this capacity. I feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to support you on your journey back home, integrated, embodied, activated.
When I’m not doing this work, I’m either on the mountain, out by the water, in the woods, in the kitchen, and/or with my children—often in one of these places.
