Dr. Emily Hecker

I'm currently working with Dr. Emily and loving the process. She is compassionate, thorough & very knowledgeable. I appreciate how organized her program is, however it's felt very customized to me. She's suggested life changes based on my own unique lifestyle, bloodwork, and goals. I'm excited for these changes and appreciate that I have someone that I trust to support me and keep me accountable!

I have been trying to get to the root of my illness for years and have been to many doctors. I just had my strategic roadmap meeting with Dr. Hecker and Wow! So much information and so much detail. She went over all of the test results line by line explaining it all. I have never had a doctor do this. I am optimistic that I will finally begin to heal. Thank you!!

Dr Emily was able to diagnose and help me get started on a healing health journey when the medical Drs were saying I was fine. I’m so grateful to God for giving us functional medicine Drs!! I have only been on her recommended diet and supplements for a week and a half and I already feel so much better. If you are struggling with health issues and your body is telling you something is wrong, do yourself a favor and keep digging till you find out what’s going on.

Dr. Emily has been an incredible blessing to our family! We started working with her for my 15 year old daughter who was having significant joint pain, brain fog, and irritability among other symptoms. After seeing her improvements and watching her feel better all around we started working with Dr. Emily for our son who is 12. He has struggled a lot with ADHD symptoms, leaky gut, and food allergies along with other issues. He has also been having great success with healing, focusing and being more calm. Our goal is helping our kids to be the best they can be and to have the support they need especially while their bodies are growing and changing. Dr. Emily is a mom too who can 100% relate, wants to help and listens not only to you as the parent but also listens to the kids and what they want out of this experience. We leave our meetings with her encouraged and empowered! We worked with different Functional Medicine Dr. preciously for our son and we did get help for a time but the program seemed very hard to maintain long term. This is one reason I highly recommend Enlighten Functional Medicine because we feel like the plan of action that she comes up with for each person is very doable and can be maintained!

I have been working with Dr. Emily now for a little over a month, and can attest that she listened so well and is genuinely concerned with ensuring a good match between my needs and her expertise and experience. She began with asking about my health goals which I feel is key to success! I was already convinced that a functional medicine approach is the right one for me as it looks at the causes of conditions rather than just treating the symptoms. My strategy session where I learned about my planned supplements and food recommendations (per her Genius food plan) based on my blood tests was very eye opening. By following her program, my symptoms have abated somewhat and I have lost some weight; we also made some decisions about additional blood tests that would help me get a better handle on what may be causing my symptoms. I would encourage anyone struggling with negative health symptoms or weight to schedule an introductory session with Dr. Emily.
