Where healing takes root, and growth begins.
Meet the Founder
Kristen is the owner and sole provider at Living Proof Functional Medicine, proudly serving her hometown of Memphis. With 15 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner, she brings a diverse clinical background encompassing Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Family Practice, Pediatrics, Urgent Care, and Functional Medicine.
Her clinical philosophy was shaped early in her career by an internal medicine physician mentor who emphasized the importance of recognizing each patient as a unique individual deserving personalized time and attention. This principle has remained central to Kristen’s approach, despite the challenges presented by today’s healthcare system, which often lacks this level of individualized care.
Kristen's personal journey into Functional Medicine began when she, despite her extensive medical knowledge, was unable to find answers for her own health symptoms. Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Histamine Intolerance through a Functional Medicine lens, she experienced firsthand the limitations of conventional healthcare. This inspired her to deepen her education and dedicate herself to providing the empathetic, comprehensive, and individualized care she once sought.
Patients frequently describe Kristen as “endearing,” “compassionate,” and an “educated and personable teacher.” She is deeply committed to holistic healthcare and considers it both her calling and privilege to guide others toward optimal health and wellness.
Outside of her practice, Kristen enjoys spending quality time outdoors with her husband of 19 years, their 17-year-old son, 14-year-old daughter, and their four dogs. Together, they love traveling to national parks, visiting the beach, attending Tennessee football games, and relaxing by the pool with friends during the summer months.
