Meet Shalli Deyo
There must beanother path.
I have been a pharmacist for over 20 years. I firmly believe conventional medicine can be lifesaving. It shines in the acute care world but is NOT working for chronic conditions. For the symptoms that wear you down year after year, I found something more.
Your partner in personalized, root cause healing.
My turning point
I used to cry every day.
Shalli, on when her kids were little
It took something personal to open my eyes.
When my children were young, they had a wide variety of illnesses. They couldn’t tell me what was wrong, and I didn’t know either. Their dad was sick too. We had a lot of health conditions under one roof.
It didn’t make sense to me that my son would need medication at the age of 2 that he would never get off. I knew where that road went. I watched it every day at work.
Then the idea of inflammatory foods came into my life. Over the next few years I worked with a Naturopathic physician to heal my entire family. It was nothing short of miraculous to watch all the different health conditions melt away over time.
In my family alone, I saw reversal of these conditions
Chronic acid reflux, pre diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, allergies, eczema, eosinophilic esophagitis (chronic cough), neurological tics, anxiety, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), receding gums, dandruff, candida overgrowth, decreased libido.
Food as medicine
Once I had a taste of real healing, I couldn’t stop.
It was life changing. I wanted to see how using food as medicine and healing the gut could help the people I knew: friends and family with a whole range of health issues.
I got into healthcare because I wanted to help people get well. As a pharmacist, I often felt like I was putting band aids on problems. So I got certified in Functional Medicine to find a way to help people get to the root.
“If one branch of a tree has something wrong with it, we don’t just cut off the branch. You have to treat it at the roots.”
The river story
Why I walk upstream.
“Somebody falls in the river, calling for help, and you pull them out. Then another one comes floating down. At some point you have to go: what’s going on upstream that people keep falling in? Then you go fix that.”
“It clicked when I watched my own family heal. I wanted to tell everyone. I’d send friends a podcast or try to explain why it all comes back to the gut, and they weren’t hearing me. So I kept learning until I could speak like the people I was learning from, and explain what’s happening upstream in a way people actually hear.”
What makes this practice different
Not a 15 minute time slot.
If you’re looking for a sterile room and someone to tell you what to do in fifteen minutes, then see you again in six to twelve months, this is not the place for you. I see what people need and meet them where they are.
- TimeI take the time
We go through your full health history together, so we can see where things started and what keeps them going.
- Root causeWe look upstream
Your gut, blood sugar, hormones, sleep, stress and what you eat. Often a condition is brewing long before you see an outward symptom.
- SupportI stay with you
Group Zooms, a group text thread and one on one check ins. You’re not doing this alone.

“Shalli’s years of experience as a pharmacist pair so well with her functional medicine knowledge. The best part of the program is her passion to make us all better.”
“My husband and I felt so much better after the elimination eating plan and my husband’s constant body aches completely went away.”
What is functional medicine?
It’s a certification that anyone with a healthcare license can get. Doctors have them, naturopaths, chiropractors, pharmacists. It reminds us how all of our body systems are connected, and it’s about getting to the root cause instead of putting a band aid on a symptom.
Do you bill insurance?
No, I am not able to bill insurance. Some services can be reimbursed from an HSA account, but most of what I do does not meet their requirements for reimbursement.
