Who Are We?

Jennica Lines became a registered nurse in 2012. She obtained her Bachelor’s in Nursing from Arizona State University and attended the Mayo Clinic Campus. She worked in labor and delivery at a busy hospital in Phoenix and is passionate about women’s health at all stages. She became a nurse practitioner in 2019 and worked in a rural clinic in New Mexico until 2021. She is board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. When her son was born, Jennica took time off to be a mom, which she never thought would happen. During her time off, she continued to pursue educational opportunities in functional medicine. 

Functional medicine became of interest after working with many clients whose symptoms were clearly related to diet, lifestyle, and gut health; but conventional medicine doesn’t typically allow time for education and does not usually look for the root cause of issues. Tired of treating symptoms and not the true cause, Jennica looked into other ways she can help people improve their health - once and for all - in the hopes of making lasting changes and improvements in health. 

Jennica has also experienced frustrations regarding her own health. She has encountered many practitioners who did not have the time or knowledge to educate her on her diagnoses and treatment options. By implementing functional health principles in her own life, she has made many improvements of her own chronic conditions and has overcome health hurdles she thought she would always have to deal with.

As part of her functional medicine training, Jennica received certification through the Functional Medicine Academy and has taken additional courses through the Kalish Institute, Rupa Health, the Elite NP, Dr. Aviva Romm, the Institute for Functional Medicine, School of Applied Functional Medicine, and Designs for Health. 

In her free time, Jennica loves to spend time with her son and husband. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and sewing.
