Journey from Traditional Nursing to Functional Medicine: Mandy Taylor's Story

Mandy Taylor, an RN with 21 years of experience, shares her transition from working in an operating room and same-day surgery OR to embracing functional medicine amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally from Ohio and later moving to Venice, Mandy's interest in holistic care and infusion led her to step away from traditional nursing. She became a patient of functional medicine and was inspired to work in the field, becoming an infusion nurse, phlebotomist, and running diagnostic testing for a practitioner. Mandy values the medical freedom provided by We the People, emphasizing a collaborative approach to healthcare focused on tackling the root of problems with natural and naturopathic methods, rather than relying solely on Western medicine. She highlights the family-like environment and the open, supportive relationship between patients, nurses, and doctors that allows for personalized, responsive healthcare.
