Work Directly With Dr.Christie
Dr. Heather Christie is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and Founder of Christie MD Functional and Aesthetic Medicine.
She is passionate about partnering with her patients to identify the root causes of disease in order to restore and maintain optimal health. She practices functional medicine, which is based on the truth that our body systems function as an interrelated whole as well as the understanding that we have a natural ability to heal when provided with the correct ingredients. Her holistic approach integrates traditional testing and medications with advanced testing and natural treatments. Natural approaches to healing include nutritional supplements, food plans, hormonal support, physical activity, and stress reduction techniques. She may recommend prescription medications if indicated, although prefers to reduce patients’ reliance on prescriptions and to have patients become healthy enough to discontinue prescription meds when medically appropriate.
Her goal is to enable patients to take control of their own health through education about their disease processes and by detailed evaluation to uncover the root causes of underlying imbalances. She will partner with you to develop a personalized health plan, created for you and your individual needs, to restore and maintain your health. She is committed to helping you make sustainable changes in your lifestyles that will produce positive, life-changing outcomes and facilitate achieving your health goals.
