How it Started

Dr. Jennifer Franklin founded Illuminate Functional & Lifestyle Medicine because of her passion of partnering with patients in order to shine a light on the root-cause of their symptoms to promote optimal health and longevity and to restore wellness for the mind, body and spirit.  Furthermore, she had a deep desire to share this type of life-changing healthcare within her home community.

She has also completed specialized training in the Walsh protocol, which is personalized therapy that utilizes an individual’s biochemistry to tailor a unique treatment for mental health disorders including anxiety, depression and ADHD.
