Meet Kathryn Faraj of Integro health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kathryn Faraj.  

Hi Kathryn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was an ICU nurse for 6 years and became burnt out by feeling like I always just put a bandaid on a bigger health problem. I developed a desire to discover and treat the root cause of what was really wrong with the patient. I discovered functional medicine, which is defined as “root cause medicine.” Through my studies and practice, I developed an even deeper desire to specifically work with busy moms that were having a hard time getting on top of their health. Today I work individually with women of all ages to rediscover health and vitality. I also offer services such as IV nutrition and PRP injections to further stimulate healing. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road. The certification process for functional medicine was much more intense than I ever anticipated. I am also a busy mom myself, so working, starting a business, and learning all I can about functional medicine has been a challenge. However, being a busy mom myself has taught me that this is the exact patient population I want to work with because I fully understand what it takes to do the things you love and maintain your health and vitality. 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
I own Integro Health which is a functional medicine health clinic. I specialize in Moms between the ages of 25-45 that are struggling to get their health back, this might mean that they just don’t feel their best, or it might mean they are struggling with some severe disease, such as autoimmune disorders. Moms put themselves on the back burner often, and their health suffers because of it, and I am striving to bring moms back to optimal health so that they can be the best mom they want to be. 

I am most proud of these women I can help. 

Beyond health guidance, I also offer medical procedures offered to anyone, such as IV nutrition therapy and PRP injections. If you don’t know what PRP is, you can read all about it on my website integrohealth.net. 

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Covid encouraged individuals to look beyond the traditional medical model for health concerns. Covid taught me how important nutrition is in our overall health picture. I saw a lot of my own patients struggling with chronic fatigue after covid that noticed tremendous improvement after receiving IV nutrition therapy. This really encouraged me to study IV nutrition and all the benefits it could bring.
