About Carmen Maxwell
Empowering Wellness Through Personalized Functional Medicine Solutions
Meet Carmen Maxwell
I am a board-certified Registered nurse and certified functional medicine practitioner with over 15 years of hospital experience helping to put a band-aid on illness but never addressing the root cause of the patient's problems. I branched into functional medicine because I wanted a lasting solution for my myself and my patients. but came to learn that change is hard but necessary for health and happiness. I realized that in most cases, patients using prescription drugs continue to suffer and develop new adverse health concerns from the drug's side effects. because patients continue to return to the hospital so we have become professional managers of diseases never know the root cause and fix it we just manage it. This motivated me to seek new solutions, which I found in functional medicine I have finished a full training program in Functional Medicine and I am constantly seeking new opportunities to learn more about functional medicine. I am currently enrolled in an MSN in functional medicine and nutrition.
I combine my training in functional medicine with my years of experience in nursing to help clients make real, positive changes toward a happier and healthier life.
