What is integrative and functional medicine?
At Connected Wellness Center, we use a blend of integrative/functional medicine and conventional/Western medicine to help you achieve your best possible health. We also collaborate closely with a number of complementary practitioners in the community, many of whom offer discounted pricing to our patients.
Identify

Optimize
Using a whole-person approach, address illness triggers through diet, daily movement, supplementation, stress management, complementary therapies, and medication
Modify
Adjust plan to capitalize on what is working and adjust what isn’t; ideally discontinue most or all pharmaceutical medications

“I found Kristin to be friendly, intelligent, easy to communicate with and very thorough. She was organized in thought and plan. She followed up via the portal with comments on the visit, the lab results, and what she wants me to do next. I look forward to future care from her.”
Mike G., 58
I have been a patient at Connected Wellness Center since they opened. As a woman facing perimenopause, I was seeking a provider with knowledge, experience, and expertise. I wanted compassion and a personal, supportive relationship with my provider. I did not expect to find all of this within one clinic and with one provider. Dr. Hennessey and Connected Wellness have exceeded my expectations across all of these domains. Dr Hennessey’s caring, evidence-based approach has improved my mood, energy, and sleep quality. I truly do feel grateful every day to have found this clinic. Thank you.

“Very easy to talk to. Understood my problem fully. Ordered required tests and got results in amazingly fast time.”
John M., 52
“Dr. Hennessey has a knack for listening - I always feel like we are having a conversation, rather than just being talked at, like I've experienced with others in the field. She's listened to my concerns, given great recommendations, and follows up. These little things matter! Dr Hennessey's approachable nature and genuine care for others are traits I wish all my medical providers had.”
Matt C., 36
“Kristin is incredibly approachable. I always feel comfortable talking to her about what's really going on with me and feel confident in her guidance.”
Nancy P., 35
“She listens very carefully and offers various options to any problems I have. Plus, she’s low key and friendly. Two good traits which eliminate the anxiety factor during a visit.”
