  Margaret Christensen, MD, FACOG, IFMCP, ABOIM

  Dr. Margaret Christensen is an educator and experienced clinician of 32 years working in the trenches. With more than 10 years of experience as a board-certified OB-GYN and 23 years in environmental and functional medicine, teaching nationally and internationally.  She is co-founder of one of the leading functional medicine clinics in the country, CarpathiaHealth.com. She also recently added the functional medicine health coach certification to her credentials. Her interest in functional medicine began over two decades ago when she faced the challenge of solving her family's complex health issues, which were later discovered to be caused by severe toxic mold exposure. This experience made her intimately familiar with conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmunity, and the various physical and mental health consequences of unrecognized biotoxin illness.

  
  

  Over time, Dr. Christensen's boutique functional medicine practice has evolved into The Carpathia Collaborative – a comprehensive multidisciplinary practice focused on complex chronic diseases. The practice offers a 360-degree approach to functional, lifestyle, and nutritional medicine, complemented by certified health coaching. It also provides additional resources like an on-site teaching kitchen, a yoga studio, and an educational library for community learning events. As a certified functional medicine health coach, Dr. Christensen incorporates positive psychology into her practice, focusing on individual strengths to help her clients achieve their health goals. She is passionate about educating her clients and colleagues about root causes and whole-systems medicine!
