About Dr. Mary
I became a Functional Medicine doctor who specializes in gut-brain health to be the doctor I never had -- A doctor who would listen, be empathic, and find the root cause.
As a young girl, my stomach always bothered me. I struggled with constipation, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and reflux. Conventional doctors only had one answer for me — medication, which helped but never solved the issue.
Finally, a doctor told me I'd have to live with my discomfort and there was nothing else they could do for me. I felt defeated, unheard, dismissed, and hopeless.
That’s when I pursued naturopathic and functional medicine to heal my own gut – and help others in return. I feel very fortunate to say that I do not have gastrointestinal symptoms anymore, I don't obsess about what I can or can't eat and have my quality of life back.
​
So now I can obsess about other things... which for me is longevity and preventative medicine. There is no point to living a long time if we don't have a really high quality of life, so I have made this a main focus of my practice- how can I help people improve their quality of life based on science backed approaches to longevity.
