It starts with listening…

I take the time to understand your story and ask thoughtful questions. My initial consultation spans from an hour and a half to two hours because I take the time to deep dive into your unique blend of health, diet and lifestyle. Understanding the journey you have traveled helps my work to discover the root causes of why you feel the way you do.

Each of us are biochemically unique. Our health is shaped by a range of factors — including environment, nutrition, stress, and social influences — all of which deserve attention when assessing your overall well-being.

I focus on identifying root causes, detecting biochemical imbalances, and uncovering patterns of dysfunction using a systems biology approach. I evaluate how your unique biochemistry interacts with your lifestyle and environment to create a truly personalized plan.

My recommendations are integrative and evidence-based, combining scientific insight with a lifestyle-focused perspective. I often suggest functional testing to gain deeper clarity, and I carefully review your previous care to understand what has — and hasn’t — worked for you.

Your health journey provides valuable insight. Together, we build on that foundation to move you toward feeling your best.

Testimonials

I am positive most people can relate to the frustration I have felt for a long time when it comes to healthcare. You finally get an appointment, you wait forever in a couple different waiting rooms, you finally see your doctor or specialist, you feel hopeful that maybe you’ll be listened to, then you’re incredibly let down. On average you get to talk to your doctor for about 10 minutes. Nothing is talked about too deeply as the doctor has another patient to see. No problems are solved, but you’re offered several prescriptions that don’t address your problem, they just may mask your symptoms for a bit while adding a list of side effects. 

Marie and functional medicine are nothing like that. Marie has spent countless hours with me, really going over everything in detail, really listening. And the time she spends going over my info outside of my appointments is remarkable. She will spend hours studying everything just in preparation for my appointment. That shows how dedicated and passionate she is about helping people who are desperate for good care. Added bonus- she doesn’t just throw prescriptions at you. She really dives deep into root causes and natural, healthy solutions. I feel so much better since seeing Marie. I cannot recommend Marie enough.

We have been seeing Marie for several months digging for answers to my toddler son’s sudden and severe onset of allergies. Marie has been nothing short of incredible in helping our family, and the improvements that we have seen in our son’s health have been life-changing.

After our first appointment with her, I left feeling hopeful for the first time in months. She didn’t just approach his case from a medical standpoint, but with the heart of a mother who could see my exhaustion, frustration, and desperation to help my son. She has stopped at nothing to find answers for our family and work towards healing for our him. Marie found information in the tests chosen for him that would have taken us years to discover otherwise.  She found him vitamins and supplements that are appealing to a two-year-old (not an easy feat!), spent countless hours creating a meal plan for his specific needs that also worked for the rest of our family, and has been a constant source of knowledge and encouragement for me.

While I know there is a time and place for traditional medicine, I cannot say enough good things about Marie and her functional medicine practice. If you too have been searching for answers but feeling lost and discouraged, I would urge anyone to give SummitView Functional Nutrition a chance. While our journey with my son is far from over, I have hope and confidence for his future and much of that is thanks to Marie and her invaluable services to our family.

My name is Marilyn. I have lived in the Big Bear Valley for over 50 years. When I found out that there was a professional up here who specialized in Functional Nutrition I was excited. I have been working with functional medicine practitioners since 2019. I have made great gains in my health, but I felt like my health was still subpar. I had plateaued.  And when I met Marie, she had told me that she had the same experience. That was why she went to school to learn how to help herself, her family, and others get their health and lives back on track. What impressed me about Marie was that she had a wide variety of tools that she used. Tools that I experienced with prior functional medicine practitioners, and new ones I hadn’t tried before. She dove deeper than anyone had before, and has been identifying the root cause of some of my issues that others did not. I am in my 50’s and thought that sick and tired was how I had to live out my life from now on. But with Marie’s help I am getting better. My journey is not over yet, but I have faith that with Marie’s guidance I will continue to heal and live a fulfilled and enriched life again. Thank you Marie. You are a God Send.
