https://l.bttr.to/KgShK Deidre Bentley is a registered nurse with extensive experience in acute care, hospice, and nursing management. Since beginning her nursing career in 2018, she has cultivated a reputation for compassionate care, strong clinical judgment, and a deep commitment to patient advocacy across diverse healthcare settings. Deidre’s passion for met
abolic health began in 2022 when her husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Witnessing his remarkable improvement—and complete discontinuation of oral hypoglycemic medication within just six days of a diet change—profoundly reshaped her understanding of chronic disease management. Seeing firsthand that a condition long considered progressive could be brought into a state of normalcy through nutrition alone sparked her dedication to learning more and she then dove into the research. Driven by this transformative experience, Deidre earned her certification in ketogenic nutrition in 2024. Since then, she has become a strong advocate for empowering individuals with education about metabolic health, nutritional interventions, and sustainable lifestyle change. Although she values the skills and experiences she has gained in the hospital setting, Deidre also recognized the moral injury that can arise within traditional healthcare systems—especially when treatments may not align with the most current research on diet, medications, or interventions for healing. In 2025, Deidre completed her Master of Science in Nursing. After which, she made the intentional decision to not pursue her original goal of Family Nurse Practitioner and instead followed a path more aligned with her growing passion: functional medicine. She is now committed to practicing in a way that addresses whole-person wellness and focuses on uncovering the underlying drivers of chronic illness ultimately helping people heal. Today, Deidre brings together her clinical experience, her advanced education, and her certification in ketogenic nutrition to support individuals seeking lasting, holistic health transformations. She is deeply passionate about helping people reclaim their wellbeing and is excited to continue expanding her impact as a functional medicine practitioner.
