Dr. Abbie Zubiel, DC, MS, CFMP, CPT
Dr. Zubiel has been in clinical practice for over a decade, with a specialized focus in functional and integrative medicine. After years of frustration and lack of progress with the conventional medical model regarding her own autoimmune diagnosis and symptoms, Dr. Zubiel began a personal exploration into alternative treatment options. Her resultant success has driven her passion to help others with similar frustrations.
Through a biological systems approach, Dr. Zubiel works to nutritionally support the individual’s body so that it can heal and perform optimally. Her advanced training in functional medicine and nutrition has contributed to her accomplishments in helping patients with an array of health conditions, including digestive imbalances, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions.

She also holds advanced certifications in nutrition and health & wellness coaching.
