JESSICA MEYERS, PA-C
REGISTERED HERBALIST (AHG), APPLIED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CERTIFIED

Serving patients virtually in Arizona, California, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

I help people take back control of their health by blending modern medicine with the wisdom of nature and root-cause care.

My path into medicine started more than 20 years ago in Los Angeles, working as an EMT and phlebotomist while I finished my undergraduate degree at Biola University. Those years showed me how fast health can change and how much people need a provider who actually listens.

I earned my master’s degree from the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine and became a certified Physician Associate in 2013. I spent the next several years practicing in dermatology, urgent care, and family and internal medicine. I watched patients cycle through visit after visit with symptoms that were managed but never resolved.

In 2016, I attended an integrative medicine conference that changed how I practice. The question shifted from “How can we manage the symptoms?” to “Why is this happening in the first place?” I have been chasing that question ever since.

TRAINING & EDUCATION

I graduated cum laude from Biola University with a bachelor’s degree in Biological Science, then earned my master’s degree through the Physician Assistant Program at USC’s Keck School of Medicine in 2013.

Science gave me the foundation. Curiosity kept me building on it. After years in conventional practice, I went looking for training that would help me answer the questions my patients were really asking.

I studied clinical herbal medicine under Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, a physician and internationally respected herbalist who taught me to use plants with the same precision and intention as any prescription. I earned the title of Registered Herbalist through the American Herbalists Guild.

I completed the Applied Functional Medicine Certification (AFMC) through the School of Applied Functional Medicine, where I trained in systems biology, functional lab interpretation, and complex case management.

I am constantly continuing my education, most recently completing the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Hormone Advanced Practice Module and the Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) courses, deepening my work in hormone, adrenal, and thyroid health as well as the histamine-driven, multi-system symptoms that often go unrecognized.

Each credential added another layer to how I see the body: one connected system where hormones, digestion, blood sugar, thyroid, and stress all influence each other.

HOW I PRACTICE

Every plan I build starts with your story. I want to know when you last felt like yourself, what changed, and what you have already tried. From there, I pair conventional labs with advanced functional testing to see what is happening beneath the symptoms.

Your treatment is personal to you. It may include targeted nutrition, professional-grade supplements, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, and prescription therapies when they are the right tool. I explain the reasoning behind every recommendation so you understand your body and can make confident decisions about your care.

The areas where I focus most of my time:

Hormone health for men and women, including testosterone, perimenopause, and menopause
Gut health and digestive concerns
Thyroid function
Blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance
Mast cell activation and histamine-related symptoms
Fatigue, energy, and recovery
Oxidative stress and environmental exposures
First responder health

Visits are unhurried. I aim to ask better questions, follow up closely, and adjust your plan as your body responds. You will always know where you are headed and why.

BEYOND THE CLINIC

My work extends well past the exam room. I have consulted for national medical groups to build functional medicine programs, advised companies on supplement formulation, and served on several medical advisory boards.

I’ve also designed a care model, FIREPROOF Wellness, focused specifically on the health needs of first responders.

My work is always centered around one goal: helping people live healthier, more resilient lives.

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

Outside of work, you will usually find me in my garden, with my three kids, or working alongside my husband, a career firefighter, on our shared mission of improving first responder health.

I do this work because I have seen both sides of medicine. I know the frustration of chasing symptoms without answers, and I know the relief of finally finding a clear path forward. Helping you reach that point is what keeps me going.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER
