Dr. Arti Chandra is a family physician who was a member of the first graduating class of certified practitioners at The Institute for Functional Medicine. She is board certified in integrative medicine and holds a master’s degree in public health. Dr. Chandra’s passion for functional and integrative medicine is driven by her long-standing commitment to reduce the burden of disease and suffering and to improve health and vitality at a population health level by identifying root causes of symptoms and disease and restoring health through healing foods and supportive lifestyle measures.  

She led the functional medicine program at Providence/Swedish Medical Center in Seattle for 15 years and subsequently offered part time functional/integrative medicine consultative care at Vida Integrated Health in Seattle and served as their medical director. She now has a part time specialty practice in functional medicine, while she also provides wellness consultation work with companies and organizations that are reaching larger populations with functional/integrative/food as medicine and soil health efforts.
