Laura Burton

Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner — Founder

Laura Burton spent 15 years in intensive care before she founded Full Circle Function — not because she burned out, but because the ICU showed her something conventional medicine consistently gets wrong. Patients were discharged "stable" while still suffering. Labs came back "normal" while something was clearly not right. She left critical care to build something that actually looked for the answer.

Today, Laura holds dual Master's degrees as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, and is certified through Functional Medicine University. Her approach integrates advanced diagnostics — including hair tissue mineral analysis, comprehensive hormone panels, and gut health markers — with the kind of extended appointments and deep listening that conventional medicine rarely makes room for.

She founded Full Circle Function on a single premise: that every patient deserves to understand why they feel the way they feel, and to receive care that actually addresses it. Not management. Answers.

Kristine

Clinical Team — Full Circle Function

Kristine is a cornerstone of the Full Circle Function clinical team — the kind of person you remember after your appointment because she made you feel genuinely cared for. Her approach to patient interaction is warm, attentive, and deeply professional, creating the kind of environment where people feel safe to be honest about how they are really feeling.

Her clinical background supports the Full Circle standard of care: comprehensive, patient-centered, and never rushed. Kristine works alongside Laura to ensure that every patient's experience — from intake to follow-up — reflects the same commitment to thoroughness and compassion that defines this practice.

She is a key reason why patients describe their experience at Full Circle Function as unlike anywhere else they have been. That consistency of care, visit after visit, is not an accident.
