meet the practitioner
Cara Merak, BSN, RN, CFNC
Hi, I'm Cara, a functional medicine nurse whose mission is to help people live happier, healthier, and longer lives. I do that through a balanced and honest approach to health and wellness. Focusing on the things that matter for your health, and leaving the rest in the Wild West of influencers and trends.
I started my career as pediatric nurse at a top Seattle-area hospital, which meant I saw firsthand the disappointing cycle of temporary fixes in traditional healthcare. That inspired me to pave a different path—one that revolutionizes the way we do health care. Focusing on creating lasting health rather than quick fixes and suppressing symptoms.
I'm a mom and wife, which helps me understand the importance of nurturing not just individual health but also the family's well-being. No more one-size-fits-all solutions; everyone's biology and lives are unique, and we all deserve care tailored just for each of us.
