About Christa Inzer Castillo MSPAS, PA-C, MPH

Credentials & Certifications

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Physician Assistant – Certified, Master of Public Health
My mother’s complicated health issues, which weren’t responding to traditional medicine, sparked my interest in functional medicine. I witnessed many patients struggling to improve and sought alternatives beyond medications that often caused side effects. After attending a weeklong intensive course to functional medicine with the Institute for Functional Medicine, my eyes were opened to the importance of examining biochemistry and understanding the underlying issues that Western medicine often overlooks. I learned how lifestyle changes and supplement support can reset and nurture our bodies for better health.
I love spending time with my husband and our three children. Our home is filled with activity, thanks to our goats, chickens, dogs, cats, fish, and even an axolotl! Despite the busyness, we enjoy hiking, swimming, and staying involved in our church community.

Christa Inzer Castillo is a board certified Physician Assistant, with 14 years of experience in  family practice, who offers primary and acute care for adults and children. She loves the opportunity to get to know entire families and develop relationships with her  patients. While trained in western medicine she has long infused a whole person and natural  approaches to achieve best patient outcomes.

Personal experience, specifically a mother who has responded poorly to the traditional western  medical approach, but used whole body approaches to find answers inspired Christa to begin  the process of understanding root cause medicine. The desire to help answer “why” is this  going on in the body and “how” to help the body heal has become a passion. The process of  teasing out each person’s unique puzzle is fascinating and rewarding, especially when you start  to see health restored.

Christa grew up in the Treasure Valley, graduated from Meridian High School, earned her  Bachelor of Science in Biology from the College of Idaho. In 2008 she earned her Master of  Science in Physician Assistant Studies and Masters of Public Health from Touro University in  Vallejo, California.

Outside of the clinic, Christa enjoys spending time with her husband and 3 children. You can  find them outside working on numerous projects with chickens, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and  gardening, or hiking and exploring the great state of Idaho. She also loves to serve in her  church and squeeze in a swim.
