Shelby Kingma, FMA-CP
Functional Medicine Academy Certified Practitioner
I work with clients to adjust nutrition and lifestyle factors to either promote healing from a specific health condition or support overall wellness.
Located in Phoenix’s West Valley, I meet with clients virtually or in-person at The HIVE Natural Health Center. I provide nutrition counseling, can recommend labs and related to various health conditions, and assist you in forming habits to build a life that promotes your wellness.

What is functional medicine?
The Institute for Functional Medicine defines it like this:
“As a catalyst in the transformation of healthcare, functional medicine treats root causes of disease and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience.”

To put it another way, Functional Medicine uses root cause analysis and lifestyle change alongside targeted lab work and supplementation when indicated to support the body’s ability heal itself and achieve individualized wellness goals.
Functional medicine works to optimize dietary, lifestyle, and environmental factors to support your body to heal from and prevent disease. Functional medicine practitioners are moving from “healthcare” to a focus on comprehensive wellness that looks at each individual as a whole person with a body, mind, and soul.
