Dr. Shears is a licensed board certified functional medicine doctor who founded Exis Health from a deeply personal understanding of what it means to be unheard by the medical system. Despite her training at prestigious medical institutions, she witnessed firsthand how conventional medicine often dismisses complex symptoms and treats patients as collections of separate problems rather than whole human beings with interconnected stories.

Her journey into functional medicine began when her own family faced the frustrating reality of being shuffled between specialists who offer band-aid solutions instead of real answers. This experience ignited her commitment to practicing medicine differently, with the time, attention, and investigative depth that true healing required. Dr. Shears specializes in complex, chronic conditions and the “undiagnosed” cases that have left patients feeling dismissed elsewhere. She combines rigorous scientific training with genuine compassion, spending hours behind the scenes pieces together each patient’s unique health puzzle.

Having navigated the medical maze herself, she understands the exhaustion of advocating for your own health and the relief that comes from finally being heard. She founded Exis Health for those who refuse to accept “ normal” when their bodies tell a different story, creating a practice where sophisticated medicine meets the deep listening and personalized care that extraordinary healing demands.
