Meet the Founder

Jennifer L. Harris MD | IFMCP

My journey into medicine began long before medical school. At the age of 10, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—an experience that shaped how I understand health, both personally and professionally.

I felt called into the field of medicine and went on to train and specialize in anesthesiology, a field I continue to practice and deeply value. I am drawn to the precision, critical thinking, and responsibility it requires—but more importantly, it has given me a unique perspective on the importance of optimizing a patient’s health before they ever enter the operating room.

Functional medicine was a journey toward better understanding, and improvement of my own health and disease management. Through this, I discovered an entire community of patients seeking something more from their current healthcare experience. Many are looking for a physician who truly listens, connects on a deeper level, and serves as both an advocate and educator throughout their health journey.

Today, I work with patients who are looking for more — more answers, more support, and a path toward truly feeling well again. I believe there is a real need for healthcare that prioritizes listening, education, and the belief in restoration of health.

My approach is grounded in the fundamentals: nutrition, movement, sleep, relationships, and purpose. These are often overlooked, yet they are where meaningful and lasting change begins. The process requires more than just a plan—it requires a shift in mindset. Helping patients navigate that transformation is the most challenging and rewarding part of what I do.
