Course Faculty

Wendy Warner, MD

Dr Warner spent the first 14 years of her career in a conventional ObGyn practice. During this time, she was already beginning to practice integrative holistic medicine, and in 2004, she founded Medicine in Balance. That practice was comprised of many different practitioners all under the same roof, allowing access to many techniques and points of view. In this way, issues could be addressed in the most efficient and effective ways possible. In 2022, Dr Warner took the practice entirely online; this saves patients driving time and allows everyone to be seen in the comfort of their own homes.

Over the years, Dr Warner has been a President of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, the first organization that offered certification in integrative medicine. She served on the board of directors of that organization as well as the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine. She is an educator for the Institute for Functional Medicine and is a national lecturer.

Sadi Jimenez, ND

Dr. Jimenez is a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in the state of California. She came into medicine from a deep need to understand the human experience through the lens of health. During naturopathic medical school, she rotated through different medical systems and learned from different types of healers, and healthcare practitioners. Learning from conventional healthcare workers in community health clinics, from naturopathic elders, and oral healers in traditional medicine. They taught her that there is no separation of the mind and the body. What affects one affects the other. We must understand ourselves biochemically and mentally. It is this philosophy that helped me in my own healing journey and continues to guide my practice.

Sadi is trained in the management of pharmaceutical drugs, functional medicine testing in gentle and natural approaches such as lifestyle medicine, food therapy, herbal medicine, and stress reduction. Diagnosing and treating patients with an integrative approach; combining conventional and alternative medicine to unmask the root cause of chronic disease.
