An Institute for Functional Medicine faculty member for 15 years, as well as a certified functional medicine health coach, Dr Christensen first became interested in functional medicine 20 years ago when trying to solve the riddle of her and her family’s complex health challenges. Unbeknownst to her at the time these were consequences of severe toxic mold exposure. A board-certified OB-GYN for 23 years, her initial boutique functional medicine practice has grown into The Carpathia Collaborative, a large multidisciplinary FM practice based in Dallas and covering the full spectrum of complex chronic disease.
She herself recently became a certified functional medicine health coach bringing the world of positive psychology and what’s “right" with you to help manifest your health goals. Dr Christensen is passionate about educating her clients and colleagues about root cause, whole-systems medicine.
