Functional Medicine
I believe functional medicine offers the best of both worlds: cutting-edge laboratory diagnostics based on the latest scientific research, coupled with lifestyle medicine and ancient wisdom: rest, stress management, diet, nutrition, movement, breathing, quiet time, and herbal and nutritional supplements.
Hello, I'm Kristin!
Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner
With over 10 years of experience in conventional medicine, I witnessed firsthand the issues many patients face, especially when relying solely on prescription drugs, which often lead to ongoing suffering or new health problems caused by side effects.
Motivated by my role as a patient advocate, I now focus on helping patients make meaningful, positive changes to lead healthier and happier lives. I use an integrative approach that blends my training in conventional medicine with functional medicine principles. This includes holistic, alternative, and restorative practices aimed at overall wellness.
I'm dedicated to staying at the forefront of functional medicine, consistently learning and incorporating evidence-based research into my practice.

Holistic Approach
Using a preventive approach that focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of health conditions using various techniques like precision diagnostics, personalized nutrition plans, and stress management strategies to promote wellness. A holistic approach that aims to identify the root causes of health issues and create long-term solutions. Restorative health emphasizes preventative care, healthy habits, and self-care.
Root Cause
Analysis
I will look at genetic, environmental, biochemical, and lifestyle factors to dive into the root cause of your symptoms. Once I review the full picture I will develop a wellness plan using both conventional and functional modalities. Before considering traditional medication, we will look for effective treatments that are as natural as possible. Targeting your symptoms and treating on an individual whole person basis. Only after natural solutions have been exhausted will I prescribe medication if necessary.
Evidence
Based
A systematic approach using the best available scientific evidence from clinical research to help make decisions combining both clinical expertise, patient values, and scientific evidence to make informed decisions.
Individualized
Unlike “disease-focused” we are “patient-centered” and develop treatment plans personalized to each individuals’ unique needs bridging the gap in conventional healthcare. We believe treatment plans is not a “one size fits all” and your health is an investment in the future you.

“Thanks for kick starting this "getting healthy" journey for me. It wasn't cheap and it wasn't easy but honestly it was the best thing I could have done for my body! That detox kick started my 36lbs weight loss and I have not had one single issue with my gut since. I am healthier, happier and more confident because of you and your practice! So thank you so much!”

“I spent many years within the Western medicine system trying to find out why I did not feel well. Western medicine was great at providing band-aids, but never addressed the root cause of illnesses. Thanks to Kristin Flowers, FNP-C I was able to get the answers I had been searching for. These led to many lifestyle changes that have improved the quality of my life.”
