Holistic Doctor in Nashville

Dr. Sommer White

Owner, Medical Doctor

As a holistic doctor in Nashville, I use functional medicine to help my patients heal from within.

Build My Holistic Treatment Plan

Holistic Doctor in Nashville

I believe in finding the root causes of illness.

Illness is caused by imbalance brought on by food, thoughts, and past trauma. To treat illness, we need to address all of these factors and cleanse ourselves of past accumulations. I work with people who want to address the root cause of their illness, not just the symptoms.

I believe in each person's uniqueness.

I promote personalized medicine. Unlike conventional medicine, I believe there is not one solution for each illness. We must connect the web of symptoms to find the root of the illness that is unique to each individual. I value spending time with my patients and finding these connections to begin the path of true healing.

I believe in educating my patients.

Being an alternative medicine and functional medicine doctor at Vitality Medical Center in Nashville means being a teacher. I show my patients how to nourish themselves, including how to prepare healthy food and live a life that restores and supports their wellness, growth, and truest self.
