From the practitioner: About My Practice

Dr. Helene Pulnik ND is a board-certified, licensed Naturopathic Physician with over 20 years experience, specializing in Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine focuses on finding and treating the root cause of disease, not just suppressing symptoms of disease. In my practice, I offer all of my patients a Functional Medicine Analysis, which will map out your Life Events and Disease Triggers, and Identify your Core Imbalances.
I am licensed as a Naturopathic Doctor in California and Connecticut, seeing patients from those 2 states via Telemedicine, which allows folks to receive cutting edge Functional Medicine care and treatment from the comfort and privacy of your own home. I also offer in-person appointments, by appointment only.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

The ideal patient in our practice is highly motivated to make lifestyle changes to improve their health. Initial visits are 60 minutes long, and allow time for Dr. Helene to get to know your health history, current concerns, and unique needs. After the initial visit, specialty Functional Medicine labs are typically ordered, and your Personalized Wellness Plan is created. Dr. Pulnik's focus is to help each patient restore their health, vitality and live life to the fullest, using Functional Medicine, nutrition, stress management techniques, cutting-edge weight loss programs, hormone restoration, gut healing, and whole body wellness.
