Functional Health:

Stephanie Jokerst, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC

Bachelor of Science in Nursing: Lander University

Master of Science in Nursing: University of South Alabama

Stephanie is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Stephanie began her career in the emergency department and then transitioned to family care in 2017. She became certified in Functional Medicine in 2019, subsequently achieving her certification as a Master Herbalist.

Stephanie’s patient care goal is to offer a different point of view in healthcare. “I am not the one with all the answers, but I can promise I will use the most up to date research available and apply it to the best of my abilities.” She explains, “If you were looking at your health as a puzzle; personal history, physical examination, and laboratory analysis are the pieces that must be put together to be able to view the final picture. The root cause of your condition.” Her specialties include bacterial and fungal overgrowth inside the microbiome of the skin or the gastrointestinal tract, autoimmune disorders, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, dysautonomia, MCAS, allergies, eczema, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance, fibromyalgia, and thyroid disorders. Stephanie treats patients using supplementation, herbs, lifestyle change, and medications when necessary.

Stephanie recounts her evolution as a provider, from her days working in the fast-paced setting of the ER, to rural family practice, and finally in integrative healthcare. “My journey really began with my mother always gently nudging me towards opening my eyes to see the bigger picture. I will always have so much gratitude towards her. The way that she touches her patients’ lives sets a high standard for the provider I should be. In this journey, my goal is to improve your health with your assistance as an active participant.”

Peter Rambo, AGPCNP-BC

MS Clemson University – AGACNP-BC

BS Nursing Chamberlain university

Peter’s journey into root-cause medicine is an interesting story. Growing up, he did not like anatomy and physiology and thought his calling was to go into meteorology (the study of weather). However, YHWH (the LORD) had different plans for him and called him into nursing school.

In nursing school, Peter found his passion and love for helping people. He earned his Associates in Nursing from Piedmont Technical College. While working on a medical-surgical floor, he received his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University.

Peter’s journey did not stop there. Seeking to help people thrive and live their life to the fullest, he went on to nurse practitioner school and graduated from Clemson University with his Master’s in Science with a concentration as an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner.

Peter works to find the root-cause of various diseases and ailments. He specializes in Lyme disease, mold toxicity, hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s Disease), anxiety, depression, AD/HD, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, GI disorders, autoimmune diseases, post-COVID conditions, and hormone imbalance.

Anyone age 13+ may now book an appointment with Peter to establish care and start their journey to wellness.
