Functional medicine for women who know their symptoms deserve deeper answers.
We help midlife women understand what may be contributing to persistent symptoms, what may have been missed, and where to focus next.
Trusted by women across the country seeking deeper answers for their health — backed by 30+ years of clinical experience in women’s health.
WHEN “JUST OKAY” ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH
Many women reach midlife knowing something isn’t right — even when they’re told everything looks “normal.”
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.
Meet Deb & Charlene
Deb Czuchra, MSN, FNP-BC, AFMC
Co-Founder | Functional Medicine Practitioner | Nurse Practitioner
After more than three decades in traditional medicine, Deb saw how often women were told everything looked “fine” even when they knew they didn’t feel well. Her own health challenges eventually led her to functional medicine and a very different way of looking at the body.
Deb is passionate about helping women feel truly heard, look beyond surface-level answers, and understand what may be driving persistent symptoms. She brings clinical experience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to helping women get clearer answers and make thoughtful decisions about their health.
Charlene Orne, PA-C, AFMC
Co-Founder | Functional Medicine Practitioner | Physician Assistant | Integrative Women’s Health Coach
After decades in traditional healthcare, Charlene saw how often women’s symptoms were treated individually without looking at the bigger picture. Her own experience with burnout and thyroid concerns ultimately led her to functional medicine and a more comprehensive approach to health.
Today, she combines clinical experience, curiosity, and compassion to help women better understand what their bodies may be telling them and feel more informed and supported in their care.
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.”
— Theresa
