Meet Kristen
Hi, I am Kristen Brown, ARNP-C, founding medical director of Altheda Health.
I am an AANP Board Certified Nurse Practitioner and IFM Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience in functional medicine, family practice, urgent care, women’s health, medical aesthetics, and metabolic health.
My clinic, Altheda Health, offers in-person and secure telemedicine visits for a variety of services including Functional Medicine, Metabolic Health & Weight Management, and Medical Aesthetics. We serve patients in Washington State and Nevada.
We are here to help find root causes to your unanswered health concern in order to help you restore, protect, and enhance your health. We give you the tools to heal and skills to live a more balanced life. We customize our approach to your specific concerns, helping you regain the vibrance you are missing.
You share your health story and together we build a plan specific to your needs. This often includes leading-edge lab testing, custom nutrition, science-proven methods, and lifestyle coaching to guide you to optimal health. During the last 24 years, I have worked with thousands of patients and have seen how sharing accurate information, practical wisdom, and proven health skills propel people to better health. I will ask you to do hard things and will provide support you along the way.
You are worth it! You can live in health. You can live in balance.
