Functional medicine for midlife women who want a more complete understanding of their health.
We help midlife women make sense of what may be contributing to persistent symptoms—and where to focus next.
Grounded in 30 years of clinical experience in women’s health and a thoughtful, personalized functional medicine approach.
WHEN “JUST OKAY” ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH
Many women reach midlife knowing they don’t feel like themselves—even when routine testing looks reassuring.
Fatigue. Poor sleep. Brain fog. Bloating or digestive changes. Weight that won’t budge. Achiness. Hormone shifts. Feeling less like yourself.
Normal labs don’t always mean a complete evaluation.
Our Approach
A more complete look at your health.
In midlife, symptoms are rarely caused by just one thing. Hormones, digestion, metabolism, sleep, stress, nutrients, and inflammation can all influence how you feel — and they often overlap.
Functional medicine allows us to slow down, look at the whole picture, and make thoughtful decisions about your care.
We bring together your history, symptoms, lifestyle, and laboratory data to better understand what may be influencing how you feel and where to focus next.
Labs provide data. Interpretation provides direction.

Helping women feel better isn’t just what I do—it lives in my veins.
My own health challenges led me to functional medicine and changed the way I look at health. They also gave me a much deeper understanding of how frustrating it can be when you know something feels off, but you still don’t have a clear picture of what’s going on.
I’m passionate about helping women feel understood, make sense of what may be influencing their health, and feel empowered to move forward.
Because every woman is unique, I bring decades of clinical experience, curiosity, and thoughtful care to understanding her story and seeing the whole picture of her health.

Midlife isn’t the end—it’s a chance to feel more like yourself again.
I spent decades in traditional healthcare, and I’m grateful for that foundation. But over time, I became increasingly interested in what might be happening beneath the surface when women were still struggling with their health.
Eventually, I became one of those women—burned out, dealing with thyroid concerns, and running on fumes.That experience led me to functional medicine and changed the way I think about health.
Today, I bring clinical experience, curiosity, and compassion to helping women better understand what may be influencing how they feel, feel more informed in their care, and move forward with greater confidence.Nature grounds me. Curiosity fuels me. And helping women feel understood, supported, and more like themselves again is what lights me up.
Client Experiences
“Working with Deb has transformed the way I understand my health and what my body needs to function well. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.”
— Maria
“I want to thank Deb Czuchra for her continued encouragement and professional determination on my health journey. She helps me celebrate my progress and continues to dig into the root cause of my autoimmune issues. I feel better than I have in years and, as a bonus, I weigh 20 pounds less than I have in over ten years! I am stronger, healthier, and have the energy to play with my grandchildren.”
— Lisa
“I am feeling so much better. I realize it’s not as difficult as I thought to change my diet, and I am 21 pounds lighter than I was. My triglycerides, liver function and A1C have all improved pretty dramatically. I loved that things weren’t so rushed, and I felt as though you weren’t just ‘throwing a pill’ at everything.I want people to know that making a life change is not always as difficult as they think, and that the financial investment is worth it, if it’s possible for them personally. I enjoyed the conversations and ‘real talk’ about my health.”
— Susan
“Charlene and Deb were amazing to work with. They helped me make changes at a pace that felt manageable, and I still use what I learned from them as I continue my journey toward better health.”
— Julie
“Working with Deb has quite literally transformed my life. She taught me to understand how my body works and why it needs what it needs to function optimally. I am forever grateful and recommend her to anyone who will listen.”
— Alex
“For many years I have had digestive issues and a growing list of food sensitivities, and I found myself losing hope. Thankfully, I found Telson Health and have been working with Deb. She has taught me so much, and I don’t know what I would have done without her functional medicine guidance. I can now enjoy many of the foods I had been avoiding, my digestion is markedly improved, and my skin is much better.Working with Telson Health exceeded my expectations. They go way beyond just appointments.”
— Stacey
“After working with Charlene for the past several months, I not only feel better, I feel empowered to continue to make diet and lifestyle choices that will keep me feeling my best. Before starting functional medicine, I experienced joint aches and stiffness, bloating, low energy and sleeplessness despite being a runner and eating a healthy diet.The individualized plan Charlene created for me not only focused on gut health, but a much bigger picture of my overall health, including hormones, thyroid and immune health. It’s refreshing to have a healthcare provider listen to my concerns, educate me as to why I’m feeling the way I do, and how to make changes to bring back wellness.”
