JungHee Powell’s focus areas are women health (pre and post menopausal symptoms), weight loss with hormone balancing, proper diet, life style adjustments, autoimmune disorders (thyroid disorders, multiple sclerosis) and chronic metabolic disease management (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver/kidney diseases). She believes in a functional medicine approach to find the solutions of health problems by investigating the root causes and coaching life style modification which can be a long term solution. She is a board certified medication therapy management specialist, certified in diabetes care and in pharmacogenomics. She will incorporate her expertise in DNA testing, comprehensive medication therapy management, and metabolic disorder management to find the causes and solutions to bring back the health you desire. She has seen so many patients who are clinging only to prescription medications that only treat symptoms without providing a cure, and without any measure of proper diet and lifestyle changes, which results in no relief of physical or mental suffering. She wants to help you to understand your health problems and coach you in the proper way to heal. She will help you get optimum care to obtain a better and symptom free life.

JungHee has worked in long term care facilities and several different retail pharmacies where she has met many patients who were suffering with side effects or not the desired outcome from their medications. She decided to pursue this career path to help alleviate the trial and error approach of conventional medication therapy, by incorporating precision medicine into treatment decisions, and functional medicine to help find the underlying causes and apply lifestyle modification for the optimum health care.
JungHee lives in Roosevelt, Utah with her husband. She has four grown children and a granddaughter who are the core of her life. She loves most outdoor activities, biking, running, hiking, cross country skiing, kayaking, and traveling. She enjoys painting and drawing but can’t find more time for it since she spends most of her free time finding more information about functional medicine and finding the tools to help people heal naturally.
She has helped people with skin problems, leaky gut problems, adrenal hormone imbalance, depression and anxiety, post menopausal symptoms, and diabetes with functional medicine approaches.
It’s been rewarding to see the positive results in their health. Most of all, witnessing patients making good choices and developing habits that promote their health is the biggest reward for her efforts.
