Karen’s professional journey has been driven by a deep passion for exploring alternative healthcare approaches and holistic solutions through the lens of functional medicine. Her motivation stems from witnessing the struggles many patients face—whether it’s side effects from conventional medications or a lack of focus on addressing the root cause of illness. Through her exploration, Karen discovered the transformative potential of functional medicine in promoting long-term health and overall well-being.
This realization ignited her commitment to helping patients overcome hormonal imbalances—whether due to aging, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, low testosterone, or decreased libido—by using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy alongside personalized nutritional and supplemental support.
Karen recognized a major gap in conventional healthcare when it comes to hormonal health and the importance of gut health in optimizing wellness. She has dedicated herself to bridging that gap and guiding patients toward sustainable, meaningful results.
We’re thrilled to have Karen ay Forum Health Modesto to offer you the opportunity to benefit from her expertise, compassion, and patient-centered approach to care.
