Hi, I'm Amy Henderson
I am a Registered Dietitian, Functional Medical Practitioner, Mother and Wife. I have a my Masters in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Central Oklahoma. I have been working in the health industry for the last 15 year and have seen both sides of both the Conventional world and the Functional World.
I have worked in the functional world for the past 10+ years and find the most value, the most joy, and the most truth in this approach. I have a passion to learn and a even greater passion to teach and share life changing knowledge.

I’m Amy Henderson, a functional medicine enthusiast who found true healing for my lifelong health struggles. You see, I struggled with my health for a long time but it was simply my “normal” for as long as I could remember. As a kid, I would scout out the restrooms to every place I went. I remember having to rush to the bathroom – so I needed to be prepared. I remember going to sleep overs and not knowing what to eat, because healthy foods made me feel bad and so did the pizza. Traveling was pure torture.
I remember most people didn’t struggle like I did and I felt alone. I was embarrassed and ashamed of my issues that had plagued me most of my life. I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome but nothing really changed after that.
In college, I remember it getting much worse. Obviously stress didn’t help. But I got to the point where I didn’t understand how I could “adult” and get through my internship, become a working person and deal with all of my issues. I was prescribed several pills to “help” but they just masked the issues, and didn’t truly help heal my body. I was fed up.
I choose to put my health first so that I can be an example to my children, my clients and myself. I really want to thrive so I can show up for them each and every day.
Determined, I discovered my triggers, healed my gut, and managed stress, putting IBS into “remission”. It’s incredible to look back to that person I once was, that I thought I would always be – but functional medicine changed my life. And I’ve seen it change hundreds of lives first hand.
I remember my “why” initially was simply to not be at the whim of my bowels. To have freedom to go and do what I want and not be subject to the nearest restroom, or the thought of “what happens if…”. Over the years, my why has changed. Now that I have a family, I choose to put my health first so that I can be an example to my children, and really thrive so I can show up for them each and every day.
