Hello, my name is Maureen Tumolo. I am board certified in internal medicine and certified as a functional and nutritional medical practitioner. I’ve been in hospital medicine for more than 13 years, seeing patients in their most vulnerable state, treating them for their acute problems. As time went on, it was apparent that their chronic problems were never really addressed, and patients would keep coming back to the hospital.

After having multiple issues with joint pain myself and going through the “traditional” route of basic blood work, x-rays, MRI and steroid injections, the joint pain would get better for a short period of time but would eventually return. After learning about functional medicine, the process of looking into the root cause of health problems was very eye opening. While slowly changing my diet, which was difficult, and realizing that my aches and pains were not just from getting older or playing sports so many years ago, I discovered it was in fact, from chronic stress. After some major changes as well as appropriate supplements, my joint pain has significantly improved.

This experience began my journey to become certified in functional and nutritional medicine. I think patients deserve so much more when they come in for help, and by taking a deeper dive into the chronic medical problems, a better life is possible.

I look forward to helping you get back to wellness!
