DR. ASHLEY SHRADER

Dr. Ashley Shrader, DNP, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and IFM Certified Practitioner.

Dissatisfied with this approach, she pursued continuing education with the Institute for Functional Medicine, a rigorous and intensive certification program, which emphasizes treating the whole person and the root causes of their symptoms. Ashley has a passion for gut and hormone health, especially as they relate to brain and mental health.

As a Registered Yoga Teacher, Ashley believes that mental, emotional, and spiritual health are the foundation for the path to healing. Her career in healthcare reflects her own personal health and wellness journey which includes getting diagnosed with autoimmune disease and learning she has a genetic predisposition to developing ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).
