Functional And Lifestyle Medicine
Integrative Physician
Hi! I’m Dr. Sheri Task. For over 21 years I was busy as a Board certified OB/Gyn. I gave everything to make sure my patients had the best care. Even my own health! I chose to leave my practice so I could help others understand what I came to realize-in order to achieve optimal wellness, we have to get to the root causes of what is driving our illness! I became Board Certified in Lifestyle Medicine through the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, a Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner through the School of Applied Functional Medicine. I now use functional medicine and lifestyle medicine modalities to help individuals prevent and reverse disease risk, balance hormones, manage weight, and achieve their health goals.
I pledge to provide support, education, accountability, problem solving, and advocacy. I believe in an integrative approach of nutrition, functional medicine and lifestyle medicine with a focus on the bio-individuality of health and nutrition. It is important for you to understand that you are in charge of the process. However, I will be right by your side as a support and resource person to help you be successful.

Unique Approach to Caring for Your Health
I practice an integrative functional medicine approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship(s) cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? Are you struggling with nutritional and vitamin deficiencies that are keeping you from feeling your best? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I work with my clients to get in touch with their body’s needs because I understand that life happens and your needs will change. I want to equip you with the self-awareness to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance. I believe each person is fully capable of making well-informed decisions as their own expert, not the latest magazine article or fad diet book.
