Beyond “Fine” Functional Medicine = Health Truth
Fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance and weight struggles are not your “new normal.” At Vera Functional Medicine, we go beyond conventional care, combining root-cause healing through our Revival Series, modern biohacking like GLP-1 microdosing and peptide therapy to help you feel better, faster.
Welcome to Vera KC!
Not Sure Where to Start?
That’s Exactly the Point.
True healing doesn’t begin with guessing or self-selecting a program. It begins with understanding your body.
That’s why every patient at Vera starts with a Clarity Consult — a one-on-one session designed to uncover the truth behind your symptoms and determine the most strategic path forward in the Vera Revival Series.
What Makes Us Different From Other Health Clinics?
Long appointment times where you will feel seen, heard, and understood.
A personalized treatment plan that is unique to you and your biochemistry and that is practical for you and your family’s busy life!
A root cause approach to healing. Most conventional clinics can only provide you with band-aid “solutions” that only work to mask symptoms. At Vera KC, we harness the power of functional medicine to get the root cause of your concerns and promote healing at a cellular level.
100% commitment to you! We will provide you with all of the best testing, resources, support, answers, and guidance you need to look and feel better than you have in years… so that you can fully heal from the inside out!
About Dr. Kerri
As a mom of two boys in club sports, I understand the hustle and bustle of practice schedules, school performances, homework, grocery shopping, etc… all while focusing on keeping a strong marriage, being intentional about work-life balance, and trying to fit in time for self-care.
It’s a lot, but I LOVE it all and wouldn’t have it any other way!
At Vera KC, I focus on empowering each one of my patients to become their own best “doctor” by giving them the guidance and support they need to address the root cause of their symptoms so that they can fully heal from the inside out!
Hello! Thank you for being here.
I’m Dr. Kerri Howerton, chiropractic physician, certified functional medicine practitioner through the Institute For Functional Medicine, certified clinical nutritionist, owner of Vera KC, and weekend woodworking woman.
I created Vera KC to provide real answers and practical solutions for busy women looking to make a difference in their communities, who are struggling with frustrating digestive issues and all of the debilitating symptoms that go along with it… weight problems, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, skin conditions, hair loss, fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood swings, etc…
