As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I help women bridge the gap between Traditional Eastern Medicine and Conventional Western Medicine.

What is Functional Medicine?

It's true healthcare

Functional Medicine is a distinct medical model—separate and, as you’ll come to learn, vastly different from the conventional approach—one that promotes wellness and helps both prevent and treat chronic disease, the biggest health problem we face today. Although its concepts are not new, in this way, its approach is revolutionary.

Functional Medicine is the future of medicine.

Functional Medicine can stop and reverse chronic disease. As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, I begin evaluation and treatment with the foundational layer of the Functional Medicine Pyramid: diet, lifestyle, and environment.

I start here because I know from clinical experience and research that these are the areas likely to have the biggest impact on the broadest range of conditions. I know from hard evidence that the mismatch between modern diet, lifestyle, and environment and our basic human biology is the primary driver of chronic disease.

What our bodies need, biologically speaking, is not what our bodies get in the modern world. But when we align with these needs by consuming an ancestral diet and living a more ancestral lifestyle, our bodies respond—

they heal.

Digging Deeper

I am committed to helping you reach your best health by identifying the unique and underlying causes of illness. Conventional medicine often focuses on naming diseases and using a "pill for every ill."I take a different approach.

Functional Medicine views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs that should be divided up by medical specialties. To put it simply, I treat the whole system, not just the symptoms.

Innovative Testing

I integrate the best of traditional Western medical practices with innovative Functional Medicine testing. I recognize that each patient is different and requires a personalized treatment plan.

Whether it be supplements, botanical medicines, prescription medication, therapeutic diets, detox programs, or stress-management techniques, I am committed to using what works for you.

You don't have to live outside of your health and wellness ideals

Here are a few that we can address and tackle together. 

Hormone Imbalance

When your hormones are not communicating and functioning properly, a cascade of events in the body is likely to occur.  Heavy and painful menstrual cycles, irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, and anovulation are all signs that your hormones need to be adjusted.  There are many other symptoms, less obvious to hormone imbalance that are also very important to look into; skin conditions, anxiety and depression, insomnia, hot flushes, fatigue and digestive system disorders.

Fertility

If you are struggling to start a family, looking into the root causes behind infertility is so important.  Hormone imbalance, egg quality, impaired ovulation, scarring, and male factor may all play a role, however, there are many other underlying issues that need to be addressed such as digestive health, thyroid function, and nutrient deficiencies.

Thyroid Conditions

A sluggish or overactive thyroid may be playing a very critical role in your body's ability to function properly.  It can be easily overlooked and is often undertreated.  Extensive testing is one of the most valuable tools when it comes to diagnosing thyroid conditions and can be the difference between health and illness. 

Fatigue

Whether you are waking up exhausted first thing in the morning, or quickly losing energy as the day goes on, fatigue can be a crippling symptom.  Low energy, fatigue, exercise intolerance,  and brain fog are almost always indicative of a deeper problem.  Gut health, sleep quality, food intolerances and sensitivities, hormones, and nutrient status are all potential energy-depleting co-factors. 

Miscarriage and Repeat Loss

If you have experienced a loss, or even more devastating, more than once, it may not just be "bad luck".  There are many elements outside of a woman's age that may influence how successful pregnancy is.  A woman's overall health and nutrient status prior to conception (as well as her partners) are important areas, often overlooked by conventional medicine.  Supporting hormones, digestion, thyroid, stress, and lifestyle prior to conceiving may help to lower the risk of a loss.  

Pregnancy

A healthy pregnancy is more than a multivitamin and exercise.  What we eat, how we exercise, sleep, stress, and nutrient deficiencies directly affect the health of our baby and self.  Our gut health influences the immunity of our future baby, our nutrient capacity affecting the way in which we recover from labor and delivery. Caring for ourselves postpartum is just as important to care for ourselves while pregnant. 

Client Love

Dr. Selmser has helped me begin to balance my hormones along with my life! Her work has allowed me to lead a painless, active life again, and has helped me with fertility issues. She is a wealth of knowledge and is passionate about helping people live healthy lives.  - Kelsey 

My husband and I tried for almost 2 years to get pregnant before I found Dr. Selmser. She has been the brightest light on our journey, and with her treatments, I was able to finally have a regular cycle (with mild PCOS) and to successfully conceive our beautiful baby girl. I cannot thank Dr. Selmser enough for her constant support and expertise throughout this experience. When we began our journey to grow our family I didn’t hesitate to return to her and sure enough, within 3 months of treatment, we were pregnant again. I have followed Dr. Selmser to 3 different practices until she found her home at West Valley Chiropractic and id follow her again! - Lisa 

The type of care that Dr. Amanda Selmser provides is undeniably beneficial. I turned to this type of approach since I couldn’t find any type of extra support for my health concerns in conventional western medicine. Infertility, joint pain, painful menstruation, fatigue, foggy brain, and the list goes on and on. I found it very discouraging to keep living with symptoms that were so-called “ within normal” or with no diagnosis attached. Functional and Chinese medicine really help me dig into the root cause of my health issues and unveil some human body mysteries. Dr. Selmer’s approach to your symptoms is very meticulous, she will take the time to listen to your situation and give you beneficial advice. She has been encouraging me to be patient with my symptoms, encouraging me to continue my self-care routine and acupuncture treatment which pays off now. I strongly recommend her wonderful services if you have found yourself at a dead end with your own health and are not finding any solution for your symptoms. She will be there for you and help you in your health journey to find your own balance and healthy self. - Marilie
