INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE - Dr Jess Armine

Recorded Presentation from 7th March 2022

QUALIFICATIONS

I hold a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a BSC in Nursing.  I am licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in chiropractic and nursing.
I am trained in Chiropractic, Methylation, Genetic Research, Neuro-Endo-Immunology, Functional Medicine, Nutrigenomics, Applied Kinesiology, Cranial Manipulation, and Nutritional Counselling.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE EXPERIENCE

I worked as an EMT/Paramedic in Brooklyn, New York, for several years before gaining qualifications as a registered nurse and working for ten years in Emergency Care and Cardiac Intensive Care.

This has given me a thorough grounding in conventional medicine and recognizing and acknowledging underlying conditions that may need conventional testing and treatment.

If I feel a patient’s symptoms need a medical intervention, I will always say so and refer them to the appropriate specialist. Sometimes, I may not accept a case until I am satisfied that your symptoms requiring medical intervention have been thoroughly investigated.  I will liaise with your physician if required.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE EXPERIENCE

In 1986, I graduated from New York Chiropractic College and moved into alternative medicine, initially as a chiropractor.

I have always been extremely interested in helping those patients for whom conventional medicine doesn’t have the answers.  This led me to complete many courses in alternative topics.

I developed the concept of bio-individualized medicine along with my colleague Shawn Bean.  This advanced methodology correlates your genetics with neurology, endocrinology, immunology, acquired mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell membrane integrity to identify hidden imbalances creating a complex, chronic condition.

PUBLICATIONS AND GUIDELINES

I HAVE PUBLISHED SEVERAL PAPERS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. I CO-AUTHORED LEAKY GUT, LEAKY CELLS, LEAKY BRAIN WITH ELIZMA LAMBERT.  YOU CAN PURCHASE THE BOOK ON AMAZON.

WORKING PHILOSOPHY
I am one of the few healthcare practitioners specializing in correlating the Genetic SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) with Neuro-Endo-Immunology, Acquired Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Cell Wall Integrity to identify hidden imbalances. From there, I develop INDIVIDUALIZED treatment plans specific to the history and physiology of the individual patient. I constantly research the latest findings in genetics and functional medicine.
My passion is to discover and eradicate the root cause and subsequent effects of chronic illnesses in adults and children and to educate and empower my patients and practitioners.

INTERNATIONAL

In recent years, I have travelled to several countries to see patients, give talks, and train practitioners. Using the Internet, I can deliver lectures and talks to any audience anywhere in the world, using a local interpreter if necessary. If you or your group, society, or organisation would like me to deliver a talk or provide training, don't hesitate to contact office@drjessarmine.com so we can discuss topics, availability, and pricing. Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
