Meet Dr. Nicole Thomas
At Functional Medicine Oregon, we believe true health is about more than symptom management — it’s about aligning with your biology to unlock energy, resilience, and your fullest potential.
I’m Dr. Nicole Thomas, and my passion is helping people do exactly that: reconnect with their health, pursue their goals, and live the vibrant lives they are meant for.
My Journey into Functional Medicine
My fascination with human biology and optimal health began early in my career as a massage therapist. While helping clients with muscle complaints, I quickly realized that surface-level care was only part of the story. I wanted to understand the deeper forces shaping how people feel, perform, and thrive.
That deeper curiosity led me to work alongside a functional medicine doctor — and the transformations I witnessed were life-changing. For the first time, I saw people move beyond symptom management to real, lasting health changes. Watching patients regain energy, clarity, and joy sparked something undeniable in me:
This was the work I was meant to do.
I pursued formal training, earning my Doctorate of Chiropractic (D.C.) from the University of Western States, along with a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine (M.S.H.N.F.M.). I also completed advanced clinical training through the Institute for Functional Medicine’s AFMCP program.
Health Optimization Is Personal to Me
Like many of my patients, my own journey has included seasons of health challenges — disrupted sleep, persistent fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and stubborn inflammation — despite maintaining a whole foods diet and active lifestyle.
It wasn’t until I embraced a functional medicine approach — personalized, root-cause-centered, and biology-driven — that I experienced true transformation.
This personal experience fuels my passion:
I know what it feels like to be searching for answers.
And I know what’s possible when your health is optimized to support your life, your passions, and your goals.
A Partnership for Your Best Health
Every person’s biology is unique — and so is every journey toward optimal health.
That’s why I approach care as a partnership:
- Your story matters.
- Your goals guide the plan.
- Your data (objective lab results) shapes clear, personalized strategies.
By correcting imbalances, strengthening your foundation, and working with your body’s unique biological blueprint, we create a sustainable path to lasting health and vitality.
I’m honored to be part of that journey with you — and I look forward to helping you unlock the potential already within you.
