ABOUT US

ABOUT DR. LIS

I am a functional medicine doctor who is passionate about bringing hope back into a person’s health journey. Trying to stay healthy in today's world can be very challenging and there is a lot of information out there. I help take the guess work out of the ‘how to’ when it comes to your health and wellness.

My vision is to create a space that is collaborative, welcoming, and healing for all individuals. I can only do this by really getting to know you, your personal and health history as well as the context of your daily life. Health is a continuum that is impacted by many things- lifestyle, diet, stress, movement, sleep, genetics, community etc. Together we will explore all of these factors to find the root causes of your symptoms and curate a personalized 'Fuel Your Well' plan to get you back on track.

ABOUT SUE EBELING

I am passionate and devoted to helping people feel empowered in finding their own pathways to
health, wellness, and healing. My approach is grounded in the belief that every person has the
innate ability to thrive when given the right tools, support, and understanding of how their body
and mind work together. We will create a pathway that feels authentic, sustainable, and deeply
personal which will help you live with greater clarity, vitality, and balance.

With a background spanning executive leadership, case management, and social work, I have
spent my career helping individuals and teams navigate complex challenges and create
meaningful change. My experience in these roles deepened my understanding of how emotional,
behavioral, and environmental factors shape overall wellbeing. I have cultivated an honest,
authentic, positive, and compassionate communication approach to coaching.
