Dr. Alison S. Cooper

I am a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Preventive Medicine. I have a deep interest in prevention of chronic illness and a specialized interest in integrative approaches for cardiometabolic health, gut health, mitochondrial health, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, hormonal health including thyroid conditions and male/female hormone dysfunction, and mind-body well-being.

I knew since childhood that I was called to become a physician who could live life with my patients. My goal is to provide you with high-quality compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic functional medicine care. By incorporating the functional medicine approach, I will guide you to harness the power of your various health units – from your own choices to your family, your community, and your medical team – for the betterment of your total well-being.

My passion for practicing functional medicine aligns with my real concern about the health system and environment in which people live. My background is not only in clinical practice but also research, health systems transformation, and preventive medicine. This allows me to serve you, my patient, and also be cognizant of your wider community and context.

It has been a longstanding dream of mine to be a clinician healer and public health practitioner. Now I am excited to be living that dream using the tools of functional medicine. I look forward to empowering you with personalized healing strategies so you can take charge of your health and healing. I am honored to be your ally in making improvements in your life using root cause medicine principles.
