Dr. Besuden has a long history as a competitive athlete. This background, as well as her “hunger” for nutrition, has created her transition from a Chiropractic physician to a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. “I became frustrated hearing patient after patient complain about taking pills to treat symptoms.” This launched her into the journey for functional approaches to create specialized programs for patients to support them back to being well and in good health.
