About
Dr. Hannah Snider
Dr. Hannah Snider is a family physician with a focused practice in functional medicine and psychotherapy. She has a special interest in understanding the complex factors underlying chronic physical and mental health conditions.
In seeking to understand not only what creates disease, but on what creates wellness, Dr. Snider has explored various training paths that have supported this. Her medical training as a family doctor has provided an invaluable basis for understanding illness, disease and available interventional treatments. Her additional certification in Functional Medicine has added a layer of understanding of nutritional, biochemical and lifestyle implications for disease onset and treatment optimization. Finally, her training in mind-body medicine and psychotherapy has formed a deep respect for the research proven connection between the mind and body as well as various ways of utilizing this connection for improved treatment outcomes.
Dr. Snider explores a personalized approach to healthcare. She works with you as an additional member of your healthcare team, providing recommendations to supplement, not replace, your existing healthcare. She looks at some of the less commonly explored contributors to illness such as nutritional deficiencies or gut/microbiome disturbances, as well as psychological contributors. She works with you to explore, address and optimize these various areas to enhance or restore your sense of well-being.
