Chronic & complex conditions

These conditions often involve many body systems at once. I combine testing, herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle changes to address the underlying causes.

Autoimmune & inflammatory

Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune and inflammatory disease.

Memory & focus

Memory loss / brain fog

Forgetting names, losing your train of thought or feeling as if you’re thinking through fog are common, but they’re not something you just have to accept. Memory problems and brain fog often have causes that can be found and treated.

How Jean can help

  • Detailed testing, including a cognoscopy, to find what’s driving your symptoms
  • A personal plan using herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes
Sister company

CogMission brain health clinic

For memory loss and cognitive decline, Jean also works through CogMission, the brain health clinic she co-founded with Charmaine Shepherd in 2017. CogMission uses functional medicine and the principles of the Bredesen Protocol to find and treat the underlying causes of cognitive decline.
