Hi, I'm Margaret Christensen, MD
My work in functional medicine began over 25 years ago when I was searching for answers to my own family’s health challenges. Today, as a longtime Institute for Functional Medicine faculty member and Certified Health Coach, I’m passionate about helping you uncover the root causes of your health concerns and move toward lasting wellness.
My Experience, Strength, and Hope

Many practitioners new to Functional Medicine feel unsure and overwhelmed about where to begin when transitioning away from traditional models of care. Whether you're navigating clinical decision-making or building a sustainable practice, Dr. Christensen offers guidance rooted in experience, clarity, and a genuine passion for a better way to heal.
