Meet Michelle Tom
As a functional health practitioner, I specialize in addressing gut health issues and chronic skin issues by delving deep into the root causes of these ailments. My journey into functional medicine was born out of personal necessity.
I spent years suffering from chronic fatigue, body aches, belly bloat, rashes, constantly feeling cold, and sleep issues. I was that weird personal you would see wearing a sweater in 78 degree weather.
My gut was always telling me something was wrong but my labs always came back normal. My doctor kept telling me that I was fine and that it is all a part of getting older. I thought I was going crazy and that it was all in my head, but I didn't “feel fine”.
After conventional medicine repeatedly failed to resolve my own health challenges, I sought alternative approaches that could help me and provide lasting solutions.
I have received extensive training from the Functional Medicine Academy (FMA), GI Map Bootcamp, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), Functional Nurse Academy, Functional Medicine for Nurses, BHRT Training Academy. This comprehensive education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to effectively work with a range of health issues, with a particular focus on the gut-skin connection.
My focus is on understanding the intricate connections between the gut and skin, recognizing that true healing often involves addressing imbalances and dysfunctions in the digestive system.
My goal is to support each client on their unique journey to optimal health, helping them achieve vibrant, healthy skin and a robust digestive system.
I am dedicated to empowering clients with knowledge and tools to take control of their health. By identifying and treating underlying issues rather than just symptoms, I aim to restore balance and improve overall well-being.
