About Dr. Bedinghaus

Wanda J. Bedinghaus, MD IFMCP began her medical career as a board-certified pediatrician. After a decade in traditional medicine, she discovered the much more holistic, practical approach to chronic conditions in Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine is becoming the medicine for the 21st century. What Dr. Bedinghaus says about Functional Medicine: “What I love about Functional Medicine is that it is very individualistic, holistic, and scientific. Spending time with my patients in exploring the many lifestyle factors that have influenced their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health has added to my ability to help them recover and live life more fully.”
