KELLY DESCH

You’re young. You want to be active. And you have so many plans for the future. Actually, you have plans for the weekend, but your annoying symptoms keep getting in the way! Whether it’s embarrassing GI issues that keep you running to the bathroom, or crushing fatigue that keeps you on the sofa, or weight gain, or pain, or brain fog…the list goes on. But the end result is the same—your symptoms are keeping you from living the life you want.

As someone who has faced health challenges firsthand, including gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and fatigue, I understand the frustration of feeling stuck. Through my own journey of healing with functional medicine, I have learned that true wellness comes from uncovering the root causes of your symptoms.

As a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Nurse Specialist with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare and 18 years as an ICU nurse, I’m here to help you uncover the underlying issues affecting your well-being. Together, let’s help you achieve lasting wellness and vitality.

  • Within a couple of months, I was feeling more alert and energized

    "I started speaking with Kelly when my husband and I were discussing wanting to start our family.  In the past, I had bloodwork done and was told things were "normal", but the way I was feeling was anything but that.  Constantly exhausted, no energy, headaches, poor sleep, etc.  Kelly took a look at my bloodwork results and found things were, in fact, not where they should be…within a couple months, I was feeling more alert and energized. Kelly helped give me the confidence to take control of my health and not accept a generalized answer that everything looks "normal".  She truly cares about each and every person she works with. Highly recommend scheduling a consultation!"

    — R.M.

  • This is the best decision I’ve ever made for my health!

    “After graduating college, I struggled with unexpected weight gain, constant fatigue/low energy, and frequent GI discomfort…all out of the ordinary for an athletic 23 year old male.  After working with traditional doctors, including extensive testing and reducing my caloric intake to 1,200 calories, I was still unable to to solve these problems or lose any weight. I discovered functional medicine, and started with blood and DNA/genetic testing. After using these results to find the right vitamins, supplements, and nutrition, I have lost over 30 pounds and counting (I am a 200 lb male), minimized GI discomfort (from once per week to once every few months now), and all but eliminated my chronic fatigue. After being initially skeptical about functional medicine and its benefits, I can attest that this is the best decision I’ve ever made for my health. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Kelly to optimize my health long into my future.”
