Kristen Brown founded Altheda Health to treat chronic, complex medical problems using a root cause Functional Medicine approach.
Our “teach as we treat” approach helps you learn how core systems of your body can become imbalanced and how you can restore and maintain better health. We treat the person, not just the disease.
Whether you have a new diagnosis, are struggling with a chronic condition, or simply want to improve your health, we are here to guide you and support your journey.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

We will help you restore, enhance, and protect your vitality. You share your health story and together we build a plan specific to your needs. This often includes leading-edge lab testing, custom nutrition, science-proven methods, and lifestyle coaching to guide you to optimal health. During the last 17 years, I have worked with thousands of patients and have seen how sharing accurate information, practical wisdom, and proven health skills propel people to better health. I will ask you to do hard things and I and my team will be there to support you along the way. You are worth it!
