Children & adults struggling with chronic problems such as weight gain, fatigue, irritable bowel symptoms, fibromyalgia, hormone issues, moodiness, insomnia, thyroid problems, Lyme disease, heavy metals, cancer and more.
Dr. Kristie Gering has worked as a family physician in Chippewa Falls, WI since graduating from residency in 1999. She has always favored using more natural, less toxic treatment when possible, but she can and will prescribe antibiotics and other medications when needed.
She began to study bioidentical hormones in 2011, which she found to be helpful for patients dealing with period problems, perimenopause and postmenopausal issues etc. This was a great new tool in the tool box, but hormones only addressed a small subset of patients. Dr. Kristie saw many patients with chronic medical problems for whom traditional allopathic medicine offered no real help. She knew there were reasons for their illnesses, but just didn’t know how to figure out what that was or how to help. It was incredibly frustrating having nothing to offer her patients who were suffering.
In 2013, Dr. Kristie took her first week-long course by the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). She found her medical home! Functional medicine, which takes a whole body systems-based approach, made so much sense! It offered a logical framework for how to approach chronic medical problems, specialized testing and ways to help. She studied diligently and completed all the courses offered at IFM within the first year of opening her doors in 2017. Then she finally took the time to take the examination and became an IFM Certified Practitioner in December of 2020!
Dr. Kristie found that it was difficult to fully practice functional medicine in a traditional medical setting that is more focused on a quick management of symptoms, rather than taking the time to dig down for the root cause. So, after years of contemplation, in January of 2017, Dr. Kristie Gering opened her own private, direct-pay, functional medicine clinic. Thus Spero Wellness Clinic was born!
We have been learning and growing with our patients ever since then. Dr. Kristie and her team work with patients of all ages and conditions, from healthy well patients trying to optimize their health, to patients who want a more holistic and affordable option to well care for their family, to those struggling with all kinds of chronic concerns such as… gut issues, allergies, autoimmunity, headaches, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, cognitive decline, weight gain or loss, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity, Lyme/tick borne illness, mold toxicity/CIRS, heavy metals, cancer etc.
We may not have a quick fix and we certainly will NOT have all the answers at once, but we will start with the foundations of health, optimizing the good things for the body and trying to remove what’s bad. With focused testing and treatment, we will steadily work with you toward not just alleviating symptoms, but also correcting the underlying root causes of illness.
Spero is Latin for “hope”, which is exactly what we strive to bring to you…hope for better health. Thank you for considering working with us. We are honored and excited to partner with you in your journey toward health and wellness!
