Meet Melissa Mangan
Practitioner
Melissa Mangan
MSN, APRN, FNP-C
Melissa is a certified family nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience working in integrative and functional medicine and as a registered nurse in intensive care, pediatrics, and the perioperative setting.
Melissa’s journey into root-cause medicine began with her own health struggles. She felt exhausted, anxious, stressed, and had gut issues despite her best efforts at self-care.
Like many patients, she felt dismissed and unheard by her healthcare providers and on her own, discovered that she had an autoimmune thyroid disease.
This experience ignited her passion for functional medicine and led her to focus on personalized care.
Melissa values taking time with each patient to understand their unique history, environment, and lifestyle.
Melissa’s clinical interests lie in treating thyroid disorders, women’s hormonal health, and digestive issues. Instead of just giving pills, she aims to find long-term solutions that improve overall health. Melissa’s own experience made her realize how critical it is to truly listen. Her approach is different because she makes sure her patients feel validated and understood.
Melissa walks her talk. Everything she recommends, she practices in her life. Committed to lifelong learning, Melissa integrates the latest research into practical and sustainable treatment plans.
When Melissa is not working, she is gardening, cooking, resistance training, cross country skiing, in the sauna, mushroom foraging, and enjoying life with her husband, two children, and dog.

As empathetic as she is knowledgeable! With Melissa Mangan in my corner, I feel at peace knowing that I’m in good hands and that I’ve found help with ongoing health dilemmas (not the band-aid kind, either. Actual root cause help).
Not only do I feel a thousand times better since being treated by her, I no longer feel dread about symptoms yet-to-come (e.g. menopause) because I know she’ll help me keep on living my best life.
She’s an expert listener and always explains treatment options in a way I understand – without dumbing down the info. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her.
