 In this episode, I’m talking with Lyndsy Kinghorn, a local functional medicine practitioner and founder of Foundation Functional Medicine in Boise.

Lyndsy shares her journey from ER nurse to functional medicine practitioner, how her own health struggles led her to a more holistic approach, and what functional medicine actually looks like in practice. We talk about gut health, thyroid issues, hormone imbalances, and the autoimmune conditions she often sees in Boise. 

She also shares what it’s like to be her patient, how her team-based care model works, and the story behind her fully-outfitted functional medicine Sprinter van that brings care straight to the trailhead, river, or wherever you are. Plus, Lyndsy shares some of her go-to healthy local restaurants, gyms, and businesses around the Treasure Valley. 

If you’ve ever felt like something is “off” in your body but can’t quite figure out what, functional medicine just might be the answer.

Are you curious about functional medicine? I’ve been working with Foundation Functional Medicine here in Boise, and it’s been a game-changer. After feeling off for months, I finally feel like I’m getting answers and actually making progress.

Foundation is run by Lyndsy Kinghorn, a former ER nurse who takes a holistic, root-cause approach to health. Whether it’s gut issues, hormones, thyroid, or just not feeling like yourself, her team digs deeper than a typical doctor’s visit.

They offer a free discovery call to see if it’s a good fit. If you’ve been curious about functional medicine, this is your sign to check it out. Just head to fndatnfunctionalmedicine.com to learn more - you can find that link in the show notes. 

And stay tuned: I’ve got a full interview with Lindsay coming very soon on the podcast!
