Your Paleo Practitioner - Dr. Chrystyne Olivieri, has been a Family Nurse Practitioner since 2004. She began her career in Cardiology, Family Medicine and Endocrinology. She became Nationally Board Certified in Diabetes Education  through the NCBDE and is a CDE. She completed her Doctorate in the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes at Stony Brook University, NY.

Dr. Olivieri has focused more of her practice on Functional Medicine. This is a different approach to the patient which focuses on the CAUSE of disease rather than simple symptom alleviation.

This is a way of helping patients to treat their disease, and not just manage the symptoms of diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and others.
