Meet the Founders

Devan
Szczepanski

MD, MS

Dr. Szczepanski is a board-certified family medicine physician with post-graduate certifications in Nutritional and Genomic Medicine. Her mission is to change the face of medicine by using an alternative approach to traditional practice. She is a firm believer that the future of medicine is not necessarily found on a script pad, and her Graduate degree in Neuropsychology facilitates a ground-breaking, mind-body approach to metabolic dysfunction. She is on a mission to close the great divide between traditional and naturopathic philosophies by acknowledging that they both operate on a continuum and that the point at which they meet can change for each individual patient.

Her goal is to discover what didn’t work for you in the past, will make you confident today, and age dynamically tomorrow.

“When someone understands the underlying basis to their symptoms, they can then become inspired to create a life balance that is often not found in a pill bottle. By addressing the ‘whole patient,’ we can often get results that are otherwise unobtainable.”

– Dr. Szczepanski

Changing our health must start with our children.”
