Jodi Stevens MSN, FNP-BC, CFMP, FMACP
My passion is health and wellness, and my mission is to help others become empowered and passionate about life again while regaining their optimal health. My journey began while practicing as a Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner. It seemed like every patient coming into the hospital had a laundry list of medical diagnoses, on a multitude of medications and despite this their health was spiraling downwards, and their quality of life was minimal. How could this be if they were following the traditional medical paradigm? I continued to hear patients voice their frustration of not being heard, feeling like their symptoms are ignored, or told what they are feeling is “normal.” Shuffling from specialist to specialist, prescribed pill after pill with no clear diagnosis, cause, or plan. I was just as frustrated! That began my passion filled journey towards holistic, Functional MedicineI and finding the true cause of disease. The WHY. Uncovering the root cause is peeling back the layers and looking deeper. Are you tired of feeling fatigued, overweight, anxious, bloated, and constipated? Do you have rashes, mood swings, headaches, infertility, or brain fog? Did you know most acute or chronic illnesses are caused by infections, toxic burden, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and stress to name a few? We live in a toxic, stress laden world creating illness and dysfunction. These are the real root causes and the WHY our bodies are struggling to function. With proper investigation and REBALANCE you can thrive again!
I am a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, graduate from Boston College in 2012. I worked as a Hospitalist (internal medicine) Nurse Practitioner with Lahey Hospital Medicine for 10 years. I am a graduate of Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice from the Institute of Functional Medicine, and a graduate and Certified Functional Medicine Provider (CFMP) from Functional Medicine University.
When I am not digging deeper into how to heal naturally, you can usually find me spending time with my family. I am a native to Ipswich MA, a passionate mom of 4 and a blessed wife. I love all things outside from the beach to the mountains! I believe our mind and body are connected and I try to find moments each day to carve out self care with exercises, yoga, or a hot bath. We all have a purpose and I truly believe mine is to help others feel Rebalanced and thrive again. Let’s work together!
