Tara Quintana is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and licensed in Indiana. She completed her Master of Nursing Practice Degree at Purdue University Global, graduating with honors while working as an RN in Monroe and surrounding counties. She has ten years of experience as an RN, dedicated to providing personalized and compassionate care.   Working in Women’s Health, Tara provided exceptional care, focusing on wellness and disease prevention. With the state of our national healthcare system and the incredible need for personalized medicine, Tara felt compelled to go back to school and study at The Institute of Functional Medicine. The rigorous program was very challenging and fueled Tara’s continued desire for evidence-based medicine, leading to the creation of The Functional Nurse Practitioner Podcast. Tara spent countless hours studying root cause medicine and was certified as a functional medicine practitioner through IFM.   Tara began incorporating functional medicine methodologies within her Women’s Health practice, and the results were phenomenal. She continued pushing the barriers of conventional medicine, until it became apparent that a truly personalized approach needed more. Tara opened her own practice, The Functional Nurse Practitioner, LLC, and has not looked back. Specializing in root cause medicine, Tara takes a different approach, unraveling each client’s unique story in order to facilitate optimal health. Tara’s podcast continues to provide an exceptional education for her community, and her platform is highly regarded within the health and wellness space. Tara has many plans for the future regarding educational, nutrition, and coaching programs, as wellness is at the forefront of her business. Tara is an active member of several professional organizations including the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, The Institute of Functional Medicine, Oncology Nursing Society, and Alpha Beta Kappa, the National Honor Society, by election of the Delta Zeta Chapter. Tara and her husband, Tom, reside in Ellettsville, Indiana. She enjoys cooking, fitness, mountain biking, and spending her free time traveling to both favorite and new bike destinations.   https://thefunctionalnursepractitioner.com/
