About Fallon
I'm a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and LMT, specializing in functional medicine, drawing on my training at Oregon Health and Science University. Once graduated, I started my journey working as a hospitalist and as an Emergency Department provider. Throughout my career, I've been driven to understand how to help patients optimize their health, preventing the development of disease and disorders.
During my time working in the confines of Western medicine, I became frustrated by the limits of my training in treating patients with chronic disorders. I began seeking other approaches to medicine, which eventually brought me to functional medicine. This allowed me to see the overwhelming abundance of evidence-based research in preventative/functional medicine, giving me the tools to co-create comprehensive treatment plans with my patients. I have always understood that our health is multidimensional and requires a perspective that looks beyond just treating symptoms. Functional medicine has allowed me to fill the gap, allowing me to support the health of my patients holistically, and empower them to reclaim their wellness and peace of mind.

My Philosophy
While working as a hospitalist and an Emergency Department provider, I was lovingly teased as “the hippie provider” because I took extra time to educate and prescribe with a functional mindset. My prescriptions often included inulin fiber, probiotics, meditation, and dietary changes—radically uncommon practices in acute care.
Today, my care follows a similar thread: I utilize evidence-based approaches that allow for minimal reliance on medications while maximizing the immune system's innate power. I co-create treatment plans with my clients, educating throughout the process, because the most effective plans are those where the client understands the “why” behind the treatment and becomes equally invested in their journey of wellness.
My entire approach to medicine is centered on building and supporting the natural strength of the immune system to heal itself—putting health and wellness back in the hands of my patients.
