Simple Health & WellnessSimple paths to lasting wellness.
The story behind Simple Health & Wellness starts with a mother who refused to accept "we don't know why."
In 2021, Heather became a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and began working in private practice. Almost immediately, she noticed a pattern she couldn't ignore — more children with behavioral challenges, learning disabilities, and rising rates of autism diagnosis. She needed to know why.
At the same time, she was living it at home.
Her own son had been diagnosed with a learning disability and ADHD, and began showing severe behavioral problems — acting out at school, falling into depression, and expressing a desire to self-harm. At just seven years old, he was placed on both an ADHD medication and an SSRI.
"I don't want to feel like this. I don't know why I feel like this."
— Her son, at age 7
"It broke my heart to see my patients, their parents, and my own son go through this. I knew something was not right and there had to be a better explanation."
That question sent Heather down a path of deep research — into environmental toxicities, the impact of our food supply, vaccine ingredients, and the emerging science of functional medicine. She began to understand how perfectly our bodies are designed to heal — and how, with the right support, we can restore that healing by addressing nutrient deficiencies, understanding our genetic makeup, and eliminating toxins.
She earned her Functional Medicine certification and completed a Psychiatric Functional Medicine Fellowship with Dr. James Greenblatt — one of the leading pioneers in nutritional psychiatry. She left her practice, opened her own pediatric functional medicine concierge business, and began turning children's health around.
"He has been off his medications for almost a year and a half. No ADHD medication. No SSRIs. He's learning — and most importantly, he is happy and thriving as a 13-year-old boy. Zero behavior problems."
Then something remarkable kept happening. Parents of her young patients would look at her and say: "I wish you could see me."
That was the moment. Heather returned to school, completed her post-master's in Family Practice, and finished her Family Nurse Practitioner degree in May 2025 — now licensed to see patients of all ages.
What she finds in adults mirrors exactly what she sees in children: years of accumulated toxins, profound nutrient deficiencies, and bodies that have never been given what they actually need to thrive.
"I am seeing young men whose testosterone levels are lower than a man in his 80s — with no medical explanation. Except we know the cause. The same toxins, the same depleted food supply, the same systemic neglect of what our bodies actually need."
"Simple paths to lasting wellness — at every stage of life."
Simple Health & Wellness exists because Heather refused to accept "normal" as good enough. She is constantly learning, constantly pushing beyond the conventional, and committed to optimizing every patient's health in the cleanest, safest way possible — through peptides, longevity protocols, hormone optimization, and root-cause functional medicine.
Heather's approach is rooted in a simple belief: your body is always trying to find balance. When it can't, there's a reason — and that reason is findable. Through careful lab interpretation, functional medicine principles, and a willingness to look beyond conventional guidelines, she helps patients understand what's actually happening in their bodies and what to do about it.
She draws on emerging research, experienced provider communities, and the lived experiences of patients who've tried everything — because the best answers aren't always in a textbook yet.
