Well North Functional Medicine Blog

Welcome to the Well North Functional Medicine Blog where, every week, I post content and articles related to health and wellness using the latest evidence in Functional and Integrative Medicine.

Medicine is an ever evolving field and I strive to keep current with the latest in the literature which I plan to share here with you! I also LOVE learning and this blog is a place where I will share new tips and health information that I find interesting and I hope that you will too! I love covering a wide range of topics from postpartum health to gut health to recipe ideas!
