Amy Ray is board certified by the American Nurse Credentialing Center as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Amy has over 20 years of healthcare experience and is passionate about seeking out the root causes of chronic “dis-ease” and empowering her patients to reach and maintain a state of optimal wellness. She has her undergrad in Nutrition Science from UC Davis and her Master’s degree in Nursing from MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA.
She first started looking in to functional medicine after many years of being disillusioned with allopathic medicine when her chronically ill patients rarely ever felt better with conventional treatment. She became fully committed to functional medicine after her father was diagnosed with stage 3 chronic kidney disease and was told he would be “monitored and then treated when it got worse- and it would get worse.” Luckily, he was not satisfied with that answer and came to her for help and guidance using her new found functional approach. He is at is healthiest now, and she has never looked back.
Amy has extensive experience in metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, gut health, headaches, and autoimmune issues. She truly believes that food is medicine and that lifestyle changes are foundational for reversing chronic “dis-ease.” She believes our bodies are incredibly smart and protective and seeks to partner with her patients to find ways for their unique bodies to find the wellness and balance they once knew. She is an IFM Board Certified Functional Medicine Provider.
Outside of the office, Amy enjoys fitness, volunteering, gardening, traveling and all things outdoors. She and her husband moved to the area in hopes of enjoying all the wonderful outdoor opportunities Idaho has to offer.
