Dr Task left a busy OB/Gyn practice after 21 years to focus on her own health and to find a path to heal from autoimmune disease. She became passionate that this path to wellness was not through the traditional medical channels but through a more integrative approach using functional medicine. While traditional medical treatments are important and can be lifesaving, true healing comes when we get to the root causes of dis-ease and change the dynamics the body is struggling with. She is well versed in supporting clients with hormone imbalance, cardiovascular risk, metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, and toxic burdens like molds.
