Why Peterson Functional Medicine is Different

At Peterson Functional Medicine, we redefine healthcare by moving beyond the rushed, symptom-focused traditional model that often relies solely on medication to manage diseases. Unlike conventional providers who may address only one aspect of health, our telehealth practice takes a holistic approach, treating the whole patient—mind, body, and lifestyle. We focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes of health issues through personalized, evidence-based plans centered on systemic lifestyle changes and healthy habits. This empowers our Pennsylvania patients to not just manage illness but to create lasting health and vitality from the comfort of their homes.

About Me

Dr. Jennifer Peterson, CRNP, DNP is a homeschooling mother and wife. She founded Peterson Functional Medicine to empower individuals to reclaim their health through personalized, intentional habit changes and expert guidance. Her journey began with a long Army career as a telecommunication expert, including deployments to Iraq and service as a drill sergeant. After transitioning to healthcare, she earned a master’s in nursing, a doctorate in nursing practice, and a post-doctorate family nurse practitioner certificate. Frustrated by mainstream medicine’s reliance on brief consultations and symptom-focused treatments, she embraced a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of illness, prioritizing comprehensive patient care over pharmaceutical solutions.

Peterson Functional Medicine is dedicated to guiding patients toward sustainable, transformative health practices. Dr. Peterson’s vision emphasizes understanding and resolving the underlying factors of illness, fostering true healing without over-relying on medications. By leveraging telemedicine, she balances her family life while delivering accessible, tailored care to patients across the state, helping them achieve optimal health and well-being through collaborative, patient-centered journeys.

My vision for Peterson Functional Medicine is to empower patients to take control of their health by adopting sustainable, life-changing habits. I believe that true healing comes from understanding, and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to illness, rather than simply masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals. This approach allows me to work closely with patients, guiding them on a journey towards optimal, health and well-being. The telemedicine model enables me to maintain my family life and work ba`lance and also to reach a wider audience, providing accessible and personalized care to individuals across the state.
