Empowered Health & Healing Functional Medicine
“You’re fine. All your labs are normal.”
Sound familiar?
It’s something so many people hear… even when they know something is off. You know your body. You feel the fatigue, the brain fog, the bloating, the anxiety, the “something just isn’t right.” Those little symptoms are your body’s way of trying to get your attention.
At first, they’re gentle nudges. But over time, those nudges get louder—and small issues can snowball into bigger problems. That’s how we move from a state of dis-ease into full-blown disease.
Functional medicine steps in before things get that far.
It’s about listening to your body, digging deeper than a standard lab panel, and finally understanding what’s really going on.
If you’re tired of being told “you’re fine,” even though you don’t feel fine…
you don’t have to settle for that anymore.
Let’s get to the root of what’s going on—together.
Schedule your free 15 minute discovery call and start feeling like yourself again.
Principles of Functional Medicine
Functional medicine offers a deeply personalized and collaborative model of care. It looks at the body as an integrated whole, seeks to resolve root causes—not just symptoms—and uses your unique bioindividuality to guide every step of the healing process.
Optimizing Health Foundations
I’ll work with you to enhance the essential pillars of your well-being—nutrition, movement, restorative sleep, stress resilience, and a supportive environment—so they align with your unique physiology and create sustainable, long-term health.
Personalized Treatment Framework
Treatment includes personalized lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation when appropriate, and a collaborative care model involving myself and trusted colleagues such as functional medicine nutritionists, health coaches, and other valued health care team members.
About Me
Katie Vieyra, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience supporting patients with chronic health conditions. As the founder of Empowered Health & Healing Functional Medicine, Katie combines her extensive clinical background with a deep passion for helping individuals truly heal—not just manage symptoms.
Licensed in Florida and serving patients virtually, Katie’s move to Functional Medicine grew from her firsthand experiences seeing patients struggle within a system focused on symptom management and medications rather than true healing. Driven to uncover the root causes of illness, she completed advanced training at the School of Applied Functional Medicine.
Katie now brings a holistic, systems-based perspective to every patient she works with. Her mission is to help people understand their bodies, restore balance, and reclaim their vitality so they can live healthier, more empowered lives.
A Fusion of Two Worlds
As a family nurse practitioner versed in both conventional primary care medicine and functional medicine, I integrate the strengths of each discipline to provide a seamless, holistic approach—a thoughtful fusion of two worlds.
Bilingual Care
I offer care in both English and Spanish to better support your comfort and communication.
Listening With Intention
Years of nursing have taught me to listen deeply and to genuinely understand and honor the lived experiences of the patients I care for.
Functional Lab Testing
I offer advanced functional testing when it’s helpful, and if recommended, we’ll coordinate it directly with the lab (these tests are separate from the program fee). At the same time, your annual labs often give us valuable insights, and I can guide your care effectively using them if that’s the approach you prefer.
