Meet Your Provider
Shanakay Haughton, NP-C, FMP-C
Welcome! I’m Shanakay Haughton, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and founder of Family Gut Health and Functional Medicine, with over 15 years of healthcare experience caring for patients across a variety of clinical settings.
Throughout my career, I’ve learned that truly listening to patients is an essential part of providing meaningful care. Every person has a unique story, and understanding that story can help uncover the bigger picture behind how they’re feeling.
My interest in functional medicine was shaped by both my clinical experience and my own journey of searching for answers to persistent health concerns. That experience strengthened my commitment to a personalized, whole-person approach that considers nutrition, lifestyle, health history, and other factors that may influence overall wellness.
My goal is to help you better understand your health, provide practical and sustainable guidance, and ensure you feel heard, informed, and supported as you work toward better digestive health and overall well-being.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey to better health.
