Sally Davidson, RN, MS, ANP-BC, IFMCP

Sally discovered Functional Medicine in 2009 after reading Dr. Mark Hyman’s book: The Ultra Mind Solution. “Dr. Hyman described everything I was trying to do within the conventional model.  The book came at a time when I was feeling so disenchanted with medicine and had thought about leaving medicine altogether. It gave me hope that we could change the way we practice. “
