Physician Assistant
Jennifer is a Physician Assistant who specializes in integrative/functional medicine and aesthetics at The Osteopathic Center for Healing. Practitioners of functional medicine use a holistic, patient-specific, systems-oriented approach, looking at factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and environment. The goal is to address the underlying imbalances/root cause and promote overall well-being rather than just “bandaiding” symptoms.
Jennifer has a specific passion for hormone replacement for women and men. She started treating women ages 35-60 when there was still a stigma attached to menopause, also known as “the misery.” It wasn’t a glamorous subject. Women felt misunderstood, were often treated with antidepressants, and frustrated when they were told “it’s just the way it is.”
When you meet with Jennifer, you can expect a safe, zero-judgement space for women’s care where you are free to share anything – No topic is off-limits. When you say, “This is going to sound crazy…….or “I feel angry and can’t explain it…” she will understand why. She has laughed and cried with patients when they realize they are not alone. “I see you; I hear you; I got you,” she says. You will leave feeling validated and understood with real solutions.
