Hi, I’m Dr. Karen Hake — a Functional Medicine certified coach , HTMA specialist, and passionate advocate for root-cause healing.My mission is simple: to help women 40+ finally get answers about their health and feel like themselves again. To reclaim their energy, balance their hormones, optimize sleep, and restore their gut health through personalized, science-backed wellness plans. I didn’t arr
ive at this work by accident. As a longtime pediatric dentist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I’ve spent my entire career helping families thrive. But after facing my own health challenges — including anemia, digestive issues, Hashimoto’s and cardiac arrhythmias— I became deeply motivated to find real, sustainable solutions that didn’t include taking a pill to mask the symptoms. That led me to functional medicine. Now, I combine my clinical expertise with advanced training in functional lab interpretation, HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), circadian rhythm science, and gut-focused protocols to help other women who feel like their bodies are working against them. Whether you're navigating hormone imbalances, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, or simply feel "off" and unheard, I’m here to uncover what’s really going on — and guide you back to balance with compassion, clarity, and strategy. My approach is grounded in the core principles of functional medicine:
~ Identify and address the root cause.
~ Support the body’s healing with targeted supplementation
~ Optimize diet, lifestyle, and stress resilience
~ Partner with each client to create a personalized roadmap to wellness
As the founder of Axis Functional Wellness, I work with clients virtually, offering tiered wellness programs that meet you where you are — whether you’re just starting out or ready to go all in on transformation.
