WHO ARE WE?
WHY DID WE create kreifwell?
kreifwell is a virtual functional medicine service aimed to educate and empower anyone who feels stuck in their healing journey and is ready to take their life back.
Functional medicine is all about addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms based on you as an individual, and working on creating a management strategy through the ‘whole person’ lens.
The kreifwell approach is rooted in 5 principles. We help you learn how to EAT WELL, SLEEP WELL, THINK WELL, MOVE WELL AND FEEL WELL, because the body does not work in isolated systems. When there is dysfunction in one, it can, in turn, impact many others.
On a personal and professional level, no one understands this better than we do…
So, who are we?
We are Josh and Kristina: the creators of kreifwell and living proof that, through a functional medicine approach, freedom from health struggles is a reality.
Personally, we have both gone through our own health journeys.
Josh has dealt with H.Pylori, mold illness, tick borne infections, depression and anxiety.
Kristina has had a long history of Hypothyroidism, PCOS, adrenal fatigue, mold illness, EBV, and H Pylori.
Professionally, we have trained in both eastern and western medicine.
Josh is a masters level trained registered dietitian with a degree from the award winning Bastyr University. Josh has extensive experience in sports nutrition/dietetics, renal dialysis, ICU, endocrinology, gastroenterology and competitive bodybuilding.
Kristina is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners with a degree from Purdue University. Kristina has a background in family practice, endocrinology, and dermatology. Kristina also completed an extensive practicum with the major leader in nutraceuticals, Metagenics.
Because of our personal and professional experiences, we not only understand and empathize with you, but have all the knowledge and tools to help you finally pinpoint those root causes and get you on the path to health and wellness.
Please remember, while our functional medicine approach is a powerful application designed to educate, empower, and get to the root causes of what’s making you feel the way you do, it is not intended to diagnose, prevent, or cure diseases. We operate with holistic, nutritional and supplemental-based protocols to support the whole person, and we do not manage any pharmaceutical medicines. Therefore, we require you to maintain a primary care provider throughout your journey with us.
