In his youth, Dr.\nFerns played every sport imaginable. He became fascinated by the idea that he\ncould eat and train a certain way and he was able to experience measurable\nimprovements in his physical performance. As he got older and began thinking\nabout a career, he did not have a mentor in life capable of guiding him down a\npath that would give him the opportunity to help others experience a life with\noptimal health. So when he graduated from college, he enrolled in Physical\nTherapy school thinking that was the career path most similar to his interest in\nhealth optimization. After a few years of being frequently denied by health\ninsurance companies to do anything beyond physical medicine, Dr. Ferns made\nthe drastic decision to change his career path. He applied to and was accepted into\nthe Yale School of Medicine. Thinking a career in medicine would allow him to\ntreat patients in a more holistic manner and not be limited to just physical health,\nhe immersed himself in the program at Yale learning everything he could about\nthe diseases that afflicted the human body and the treatments offered in medicine.\nNot long after beginning his clinical rotations, Dr. Ferns quickly realized that the\nlimitations he experienced as a physical therapist were even more severe as a\nmedical provider. The average visit time with patients in his urgent care and\nprimary care clinical rotations was 7-10 minutes. Again, Dr. Ferns became\nquickly frustrated with the limitations placed on him by the health insurance\ncompanies and he felt no closer to being able to provide the type of\ncomprehensive care he always dreamed of. It was at this pivotal time in his life\nDr. Ferns received a phone call from a man by the name of Dr. Charles Webb. Dr.\nWebb was one of the top functional medicine doctors in the country at the time\nand he began explaining to Dr. Ferns that if he was willing to break out of the\nconventional healthcare system, he could create a practice that would provide his\npatients the kind of care they deserved. Dr. Webb mentored Dr. Ferns to make yet\nanother shift in his career path and begin his specialty training at the Institute for\nFunctional Medicine. After learning about the advanced scientific treatments and\n\nmethods in functional medicine, he began building a team of experts that would\nbe able to provide a level of comprehensive care unheard of before in this region.\nAs a result, the functional medicine practice known today as The Healthplex was\nborn.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54d3ac4\" data-id=\"54d3ac4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f78ab45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"f78ab45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Heather Moore - Functional Medicine Provider<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Heather Moore, L.Ac, is a California and NCCAOM certified licensed\nacupuncturist and functional medicine provider with a specialty in women\u2019s\nhealth and hormones. Heather takes a multidisciplinary approach and strongly\nbelieves in integrative medicine to comprehensively treat and eliminate chronic\ndisease. Heather graduated with a Master of Science, Magne Cum Laude, from\nPacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego, in 1999. Heather discovered the\nbenefits of acupuncture over 25 years ago for a gynecological issue. The only\ntreatment offered by her gynecologist was birth control, which she then\ndiscovered she had an allergy to synthetic estrogen. Heather sought an\nacupuncturist and kinesiologist and her symptoms resolved within 2 cycles.\nAmazed and intrigued by this experience and also knowing the limitations of\nconventional medicine, she developed a passion for learning the healing\nmechanisms of the human body, which she believes is a perfectly designed\nbiological system. Heather returned to school in 2018 to gain a deeper\nunderstanding of biochemistry, she received a Bachelor of Science in Cellular\nBiology and Chemistry. This knowledge has given her a unique understanding of\nthe mechanisms of disease and chronic pain and is an excellent educator with\nclients. When Heather isn\u2019t treating patients, she is exploring nature, pushing her\nbody to its limits, or getting into mischief with friends.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0c53331 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0c53331\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-acfd1b0\" data-id=\"acfd1b0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-977249d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"977249d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Wendy Kubala - Health Coach and Program Coordinator<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7eb067 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7eb067\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Wendy started her professional career as a Certified Athletic Trainer (A.T.,C.), working for the Cleveland Clinic for over 15 years.

The medical field had always intrigued her, but putting the functional medicine spin on it made it more more sense to her because of the real solutions that are offered. She jumped at the opportunity and never looked back.<\/p><p>Today, you will be greeted by Janette\u2019s smiling face any time you come through the front doors of The Healthplex.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0aa6350 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0aa6350\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-51415bd\" data-id=\"51415bd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a44d11f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"a44d11f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Jeremy Puglisi - CFO and \u201ctech guru\u201d<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29185db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29185db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jeremy Puglisi is the CFO at The Healthplex as well as the &#8220;tech guru&#8221;.

I\u2019m so grateful to all the staff for their knowledge, understanding and ability to help me through this journey. I knew our food and products were enhanced to the point where they were unhealthy. The program helped me understand this even more.Eating clean and including the proper food groups was key. It helped me tremendously with my weight management and I felt much better. My diabetes is still a work in progress. The workout that Physical Therapy planned for me has helped my back pain 95%. The pool is so enjoyable. The best thing is whatever I needed , it was available at Ryan Fern Healthplex. KUDOS TO ALL THE SMILING STAFF!!!

The movie\/documentary on sugar remains in my mind when I am tempted.

No, I am not where I need to be but I am so much closer than I have ever been. My blood work has improved in many areas. I have more energy and clarity of thought. My body does not ache and pain like it did with getting out of bed in the morning, moving up and down, or after sitting for a longer period of time then moving again. However, the thing I am most proud of is all the knowledge I have gained throughout this process. I am trying to master the tools for healthy living and eating. The program guides you through all of this. Kathi is fantastic with the nutritional information.
