Stacy is a double board-certified Family and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and founder of Remedy Functional Medicine in Portland, Oregon. With a background in emergency medicine, she specializes in metabolic health, hormone optimization, and personalized, root-cause care. Passionate about bridging conventional and functional medicine, Stacy helps clinicians apply functional principles in practical, evidence-informed ways. In this capsule, clinicians will learn to identify key functional blind spots in perimenopause and menopause—including inflammatory load and high-value labs, gut permeability and dysbiosis (even without GI symptoms), cortisol curve dysregulation (CAR), estrogen detoxification, and the hormone–gut axis—along with guidance on functional testing: what to order, what’s unnecessary, and what to look for. She also shares actionable inflammation strategies, including insights on LDN, methylene blue, supplement and probiotic foundations, and why probiotic selection matters.
