Shannon Hernandez
Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner
Shannon Hernandez is a board-certified Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner and founder of Hernandez Holistic Health, a virtual wellness practice dedicated to helping individuals uncover and address the root causes of chronic health issues. With a strong foundation in conventional medicine and advanced training in functional approaches, she brings together the best of both worlds to deliver personalized, integrative care.
Known for her outside-the-box thinking, Shannon goes far beyond symptom management—she specializes in solving the complex health puzzles that many patients feel stuck in. Through advanced lab testing, cellular nutrition, lifestyle redesign, and one-on-one coaching, she helps clients put the pieces of their health back together to restore energy, balance hormones, improve metabolic function, and feel truly well again.
Her work focuses on metabolic health, inflammation, gut function, and hormone balance—all driven by a deep commitment to helping patients heal naturally through personalized, root-cause care. Rather than masking symptoms with prescriptions, she works alongside her clients to identify the “why” behind their struggles and co-create a plan that leads to sustainable, long-term healing.
When she's not supporting clients, she’s creating educational wellness content, hosting virtual workshops, and building her growing membership community to make functional medicine more affordable and accessible to everyone.
