Meet Your Teacher
Dr. Christa Whiteman is a functional medicine doctor and clinical herbalist with nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her work blends modern functional medicine with traditional herbal wisdom, and she regularly uses many of the same remedies she teaches in her courses within her own home and daily routines. Her path into healthcare began with a deep interest in nutrition as the fundamental building block of the human body and long-term health. This passion led her to study Biochemistry, where she developed a strong foundation in the science of how the body functions at the cellular level. After completing her degree, she knew she wanted to apply that knowledge in a more tangible, patient-focused way. She chose to pursue her medical education at a chiropractic college, drawn to its philosophy of supporting the body’s natural healing processes without relying on drugs or surgery. For nearly 20 years, Dr. Christa has helped patients address the root causes of illness through functional medicine, nutrition, and herbal therapies. She is known for her practical, empowering approach that teaches patients how to support their health at home as well as in the clinic. Dr. Christa lives in Lancaster with her husband and their two cats—now that she’s no longer allergic, thanks to Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI). Outside of the office, she enjoys strength training, practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, archery, bow hunting, and making tasty messes in the kitchen.
