We’re not your average doctor.
As a functional medicine practice, our goal is to find the root cause of your ailments and bring the body back into balance instead of just masking symptoms with band-aids. Think of us as your savvy primary care practitioner with a holistic approach—your one-stop shop for optimal health and wellness.
We’re trained and board-certified in Western medicine, but integrate elements of Eastern medicine as well. By using this integrative approach and addressing root cause issues, we treat the entire body, not just individual symptoms.
Custom treatment plans that fit your needs & lifestyle.
Holistic health and wellness focuses on the entirety of the human body—the physical, mental, and emotional. We get to the root cause of your health issues and help you heal from the inside out, combining natural and medical grade treatments for the best possible care.
We utilize conventional medical diagnostic testing in addition to specialized, more extensive functional medicine testing and our treatment plans range from herbal supplements to lifestyle changes and even prescription medications (if necessary) for more serious conditions.
Our founder
The Gut Health NP was founded by Rebecca Hammel, FNP-C, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, holistic health expert, and Medical Director of a private practice.
With a master’s degree from Vanderbilt University and a background in nutrition, weight loss, and functional medicine, Rebecca knows the importance of a healthy lifestyle and also understands standard medical interventions.
After seeing her patients suffer for years—many of them seeing multiple specialists, being told everything was “normal” and never feeling better —as well as struggling with her own chronic issues of pain, anxiety, bloating, and eczema, she realized the “pill for every ill” model of traditional Western medicine just doesn’t work.
She started learning more about functional medicine and integrative wellness and implementing the principles of “root-cause medicine” into her private practice, and sure enough, her patients improved drastically.
Her goal is to get to the root cause of patients’ symptoms to help them truly heal from the inside out by combining the best of natural remedies and traditional Western treatments (including prescriptions when necessary) for the best possible care.
“My mission is to help you feel your best by healing you from the inside out—and that starts with your gut.”
— Rebecca Hammel, FNP
