As an integrative pharmacy specialist, Nancy is dedicated to empowering patients to achieve true healing and optimal well-being through Functional Medicine. Her primary areas of focus include women’s health, mental health, gut healing, and overall well-being. She believes in addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than simply masking symptoms with conventional pharmaceuticals. Through a combination of medications, nutraceuticals, and lifestyle modifications, she strives to guide patients on a path to long-lasting wellness.
With over 20 years of experience as a retail and long-term care pharmacist, Nancy has developed a profound passion for counseling and guiding patients towards better health outcomes. Additionally, she was the owner of a clinical laboratory for 10 years, where she witnessed the profound impact of diet and lifestyle on laboratory results. Through her love for learning about optimal methods to well-being she created a medical writing business (NIRI medical) where she researched and wrote about all aspects of creating a healthy lifestyle. Nancy graduated from Rutgers College of Pharmacy and holds an integrative pharmacy specialist certificate. She has a solid foundation in both conventional and functional medicine approaches.
Throughout her career, Nancy realized that the current healthcare system often overlooks the underlying causes of health issues and fails to provide pharmacists with the time needed to truly connect with their patients. This realization led her to explore functional medicine and the transformative power of healing the gut.
Over several months of implementing changes in her own diet, lifestyle, and focusing on gut health, she experienced a remarkable improvement in the symptoms that had plagued her for years. Inspired by her personal journey to wellness, she is committed to sharing her knowledge and expertise with others, guiding them towards their own healing and well-being.
Beyond her professional endeavors, she is a proud mother of two sons and has a deep love for travel and painting. She believes in the importance of nurturing one's mind, body, and soul to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. As part of this belief, she is opening a women's-only fitness center called 30 Minute Hit, where she aims to create a supportive environment for women to prioritize their health and well-being.
In her spare time, she enjoys exploring different cultures through travel, expressing her creativity through painting, and connecting with loved ones. Her personal experiences and interests inform her approach to patient care, emphasizing the significance of women's health, gut healing, autoimmune disorders, and overall wellness.
