Myrto Ashe, MD, MPH, originally trained as a family physician and practiced 20 years in community health centers in Massachusetts, California, and Colorado. After noticing the failure of a conventional medical approach to improve symptoms for a close family member, she began studying alternatives to medications, and started trying some of these practices on herself and her family. The near immediate improvement in everyone’s health was so compelling that in 2011, she decided to orient her entire practice around functional medicine. Dr. Ashe is certified in functional medicine by the Institute for Functional Medicine, and her consultation-based practice is located in California. Over the years, the focus of the practice has evolved. At this time, it centers on the restoration of a healthy gut microbiome, and the optimization of health parameters with the goal of healthy aging. The practice website is unconventionalmedicine.net.
