Ashley Shrader

Ashley Shrader, DNP, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and IFM Certified Practitioner. Prior to Functional Medicine, Ashley worked in various conventional healthcare settings, which revealed the algorithmic and impersonal nature of the traditional healthcare model that leaves many patients overlooked and neglected. Unsatisfied with this approach, she pursued continuing education with the Institute for Functional Medicine, a rigorous and intensive certification program, which emphasizes treating the whole person and the root causes of their symptoms. Ashley’s primary passion is brain health and neurodegenerative disease prevention. As a Registered Yoga Teacher, Ashley believes that mental, emotional, and spiritual health are the foundation for the path to healing. For this, she shares yoga, meditation and breathwork freely here on YouTube.
