About Dr. Yana
Hi, I’m Yana, I am a functional health consultant and I help children with ADHD and other developmental disorders achieve wellbeing through natural means. I teach parents and children how they can obtain and maintain optimal health through the principles of functional medicine, and nothing makes me happier than causing radical health transformations for families.
But this wasn’t always me… I am a Doctor of Pharmacy for nearly 2 decades and have spent the first part of my career helping people through traditional medicine. Even in that role, I gravitated toward lifestyle medicine and dedicated my time to educating my patients on optimizing lifestyle, nutrition, and incorporating herbs and supplements when needed. At the age of 33 my own health took an unexpected turn, and I decided to explore alternative methodologies to find wellness. It was then that I discovered the power of root cause medicine and decided to leave the world of allopathic healthcare and dedicated myself to helping people through functional medicine.
As a parent, I know that there is nothing worse than seeing our children face health challenges. It is estimated that as much as 20% of the population has ADHD or other neuroatypical conditions. That means that 1 in 5 children may be struggling to fit into our societal standards. It is my mission to help those children achieve balance and clarity so that they can live happy, fulfilling lives. I have met so many parents and their children who were given labels and predetermined futures that I felt that I can impact in a positive way. This is where functional medicine comes in. It offers a holistic approach, addressing underlying imbalances that can impact a child's well-being. Witnessing the positive transformations this approach fosters fuels my passion to help each child achieve optimal balance and clarity, ultimately empowering them to live fulfilling lives.
My own health journey ignited a passion for empowering others to thrive. As a health coach, I leverage the power of nutrigenomics testing to unlock the unique connections between the body's response to nutrients, diet, and lifestyle. This transformative approach equips you with the knowledge and tools to make informed choices and take control of your health. Driven by a holistic approach to wellness, my expertise extends beyond functional medicine strategies - I am also an 800 hour Certified Yoga Teacher. I offer a truly holistic approach to wellness, integrating these additional tools to support your journey towards optimal well-being.
