From the practitioner: About My Practice

My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to common, chronic conditions; I firmly believe that “conditions are conditional.” Rather than just focusing on disease, I focus on the conditions causing the disease and create protocols that will empower you to be intentional about making nutrition & lifestyle changes that will make a difference.

Bentson Health is a team approach. I work alongside my husband (who is also a DC and biomedical engineer) and together, we create patient strategies from a holistic perspective. In addition to practicing functional healthcare, I am also a health speaker and wrote the book, "The Cool Girl’s Guide to the FODMAP Diet: Everything you need to get savvy about (and beat!) digestive issues — for life."

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Our practice is currently working with individuals remotely via
HIPAA-compliant Zoom and the
Practice Better App.


Dr. Bentson is intentional about providing personalized care and coaching. Because consultations are health-focused and outside of what is typically reimbursable, insurance is not accepted. That said, the practice does everything possible to keep costs reasonable.
