Abundant Life Functional Health
A different kind of healthcare
Meet Misty
I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with additional training as an Integrated Health Practitioner—and a woman who has struggled within the healthcare system because of a lack of medical care and support.
“My Why”
Abundant Life Functional Health was born from a simple conviction: people deserve to understand the why behind their symptoms, not just manage them. As a nurse practitioner trained in integrative functional medicine, I bring careful clinical insight alongside a faith-rooted whole-person focus, addressing hormones, gut health, metabolism, and mindset to help clients understand their bodies, reclaim their energy, and move towards lasting well-being.
“The Focus”
I specialize in supporting metabolic and hormonal health concerns, including weight management, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, GI dysfunction, and longevity medicine.
I use education and, when appropriate, functional lab insights to help clients build sustainable strategies. This is not quick-fix medicine; it’s root cause work with a strong emphasis on patient understanding and empowerment.
“Credentials and Approach”
With extensive experience in nursing and care coordination, and advanced training as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with additional training in Integrative Functional Medicine, I practice in Warsaw, Indiana, in person and virtually. My approach combines clinical precision with compassionate listening.
“Impact and Family”
Beyond degrees and protocols, my life is grounded in family and faith. Married for nearly 20 years, with children who remind me what it means to grow, I try to live the same principles I teach: sustainable choices, realistic habits, honest care.
I know what it’s like to feel overstimulated, exhausted, and, over the years, dismissed by those I trusted with my medical care, wondering if this is just what your body and mood are supposed to feel like now. I’ve been there, and I know how terrible and alone you can feel. That experience shapes everything about how I practice today. I am committed to seeing you through this season of life.
A Different Kind of Care
Many people have been told their symptoms are “normal,” handed a prescription, and left without clear answers. That’s not how we approach care at Abundant Life Functional Health.
We take the time to understand your full health story. We look beyond symptoms to identify potential root causes, use targeted testing when appropriate, and build a personalized plan that fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
I combine clinical expertise, advanced functional lab testing, and optional faith-rooted coaching because true healing is about more than physical health alone. Together, we’ll create a personalized, sustainable path toward lasting health, vitality, and longevity—supporting your body, mind, and spirit. My goal is to meet you where you are, providing compassionate, individualized care that honors your unique story instead of expecting you to fit into a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare.
Our Services
Functional Medicine Consultations
Comprehensive evaluations to identify and address the root causes of health issues through evidence-based functional medicine. Our practitioners and team will take time to understand your complete health history and develop personalized treatment plans.
Preventative Health & Longevity
Personalized nutrition guidance and lifestyle strategies designed to support your body’s natural healing processes. We help you make sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes that promote long-term health and vitality.
Whole-Person Wellness Programs
Integrated care addresses physical, emotional, and nutritional aspects of your health. Our holistic programs combine functional medicine principles, lifestyle coaching, and faith-based (optional) support to achieve comprehensive wellness and sustainable health improvements.
Our Approach
Your path to better health shouldn’t feel confusing or overwhelming. Our personalized, step-by-step approach provides clarity, compassionate support, and expert guidance from your first consultation through every stage of your wellness journey—helping you build lasting vitality, resilience, and longevity.
Step 1: Comprehensive Intake
A 60-minute review of your complete health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and your personal goals of care — not a 10- or 20-minute checkup.
Functional lab panels that reveal what standard tests often miss — from micronutrients and gut health to hormones, inflammation and much more.
A customized plan to restore the body to its intended function by combining targeted nutrition, supplements, lifestyle & environmental changes, and, when appropriate, bioidentical therapies.
Step 2: Our Membership
Following your comprehensive initial assessment and first follow-up visit, you may choose to continue your journey through our membership program. Membership includes ongoing support, regular follow-up appointments, personalized functional lab testing, and customized protocols that evolve with your progress—helping you achieve lasting health, vitality, and longevity.
Step 3: Continue Your Journey
If membership isn’t the right fit for you at this time, that’s completely okay. You’re always welcome to return whenever you’re ready to revisit your health goals or take the next step in your wellness journey. Whether you continue through membership or reconnect in the future, my commitment remains the same—to meet you where you are and provide compassionate, personalized care every step of the way.
You’ve been “starting over” long enough.
Let’s find out what’s actually going on — and build something that finally sticks.
3 ways Functional Medicine is different
- We look for the root, not just the symptom
Instead of matching a symptom to a prescription, we ask why it’s happening in the first place — often starting with hormones, thyroid function, and lifestyle factors conventional visits don’t have time for.
2. Whole person, not just labs
Real healing includes mind and spirit alongside the body. Your faith isn’t set aside here — it’s part of how we build a plan that actually holds up in your real life
3. Time, partnership, and real clinical training
This isn’t a 10-minute visit. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in complex care and functional medicine, I combine clinical expertise with a root-cause approach to help uncover what’s driving your symptoms and guide you through lasting health changes.

Life experience that shapes this work
I’ve lived my own hormone health journey — hypothyroidism, PMDD, anxiety, depression, and seasons where I was running on empty yet unable to sleep, not just reading about it in a textbook.
Almost 20 years married, mother of two grown kids (plus a few “bonus” ones along the way), and now a grandmother — I understand the chaos and the love of a full life firsthand.
For more than 7 years, I’ve served in Celebrate Recovery leadership, walking alongside people as they heal. That experience shapes how I care for the whole person here, not just the lab values.
