Michele Prochaska is a board-certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner who has worked in the medical field since 1994 and brings more than 15 years of experience in hormone replacement and optimization. Her approach combines traditional medicine with functional and integrative care, focusing on the whole person rather than simply treating a lab value or symptom.
As co-founder of Embracing Functional Wellness, Michele specializes in hormone optimization, thyroid health, metabolic and weight-loss care, and personalized wellness. She believes patients deserve to be heard, educated, and actively involved in their treatment decisions, and that feeling tired, foggy, uncomfortable, or “just getting older” should never be the end of the conversation.
Michele is trained in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, BioTE® pellet therapy, and advanced functional testing. She is experienced in interpreting DUTCH® hormone testing and GI-MAP® comprehensive stool testing to help uncover underlying hormone, metabolic, and gastrointestinal imbalances and guide individualized treatment plans.
Outside of medicine, Michele’s favorite role is being with her family. She loves spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren and brings that same warmth, humor, and genuine connection into the relationships she builds with her patients.
