Dr. Neeti Sharma

Welcome to Epitome Health! I'm Dr. Neeti Sharma, a board-certified Internal Medicine physician specializing in Functional Medicine, proudly serving the vibrant community of Chicago and 12 other states through telemedicine. With a deep-rooted passion for holistic healthcare and a commitment to personalized wellness, I strive to empower my patients to achieve optimal health and vitality through integrative approaches.

My Journey

My journey into medicine began with a fervent desire to bridge the gap between traditional healthcare and a more comprehensive, patient-centric approach. After earning my Medical Doctorate from Windsor Univeristy, I worked in traditional medicine as faculty for Internal Medicine Residency. I realized that although our healthcare was great at dealing with Acute health issues(ie we are great at treating appendicitis, infections, strokes and heart attacks) we are severely lacking in how we prevent disease and how we reduce chronic health conditions and symptoms that reduce our quality of life such as fatigue, IBS, diabetes, hypertension, reducing cardiac disease and is focused to much on disease instead of wellbeing.  I embarked on a quest to explore the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit in healing. This led me to delve into the realm of functional medicine, where I discovered a profound paradigm shift that resonated deeply with my beliefs. I continued my post graduate education at University of Arizona Integrative Health fellowship with Dr. Andrew Weil. I also completed all the coursework at Institute of Functional Medicine(IFM) under Dr. Mark Heyman. I also attend conferences regularly at Anti aging institute A4M.

Philosophy

At the core of my practice lies a belief in treating the root cause of illness, rather than merely addressing symptoms. I view each patient as a unique individual with distinct genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors influencing their health journey. By taking a thorough and personalized approach, I aim to uncover the underlying imbalances and empower my patients to reclaim control over their health.

Expertise

With years of experience and continuous education in functional medicine, I specialize in a wide range of areas including digestive health, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, and more. Through advanced diagnostic tools, cutting-edge therapies, and evidence-based interventions, I work collaboratively with my patients to design customized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Community Engagement

Beyond my clinical practice, I am dedicated to spreading awareness and education about the principles of functional medicine. I actively engage with the community through workshops, seminars, and online resources, aiming to inspire individuals to take proactive steps towards a healthier, more vibrant life.

Together Towards Wellness

I believe that true healing occurs when a patient and practitioner work together as partners in the journey towards wellness. Whether you're seeking to address chronic health issues, optimize your vitality, or simply embark on a path to preventive care, I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way.

Thank you for considering me as your partner in health. I look forward to the opportunity to help you unlock your full potential and thrive!
