The Spero Story

Portrait of Dr. Kristie Gering, primary care doctor in Chippewa Falls, WI

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!

Why "Thick Blood" Isn't the Whole Story

By Dr. Kristie Gering • February 16, 2026
Many people with chronic symptoms are told their labs are “normal,” yet they still feel unwell. One overlooked reason is excess fibrin , a sticky structural protein your body naturally makes to heal injuries. It’s what happens when too much fibrin builds up over time and/or when your body can't break it down fast enough. Think of fibrin like scaffolding In small amounts, fibrin helps healing In excess, it can: Form protective shells (biofilms) around bacteria or viruses Hide infections from antibiotics and the immune system Stiffen blood vessels Interfere with circulation and healing This can help explain why some infections or symptoms never fully go away . Why does fibrin build up? There are two main reasons: 1. Some people make too much fibrin This can be genetic or driven by chronic inflammation (infections, mold exposure, autoimmune conditions). 2. Some people don’t break fibrin down well Their bodies don’t activate the enzymes needed to dissolve excess fibrin. Many people have both problems at once. How this can affect health Excess fibrin has been linked to: Chronic or recurrent infections Long COVID symptoms Brain inflammation (PANS/PANDAS) Fatigue and pain syndromes Pregnancy loss Heart and blood vessel disease Importantly, standard clotting tests often don’t detect this because they’re designed for emergencies, not slow buildup over years. Why treatment must be gentle and personalized Breaking down fibrin too quickly can: Release trapped toxins or microbes Increase inflammation temporarily Make symptoms flare That’s why the goal is balance , not “thinning the blood.” When done correctly, fibrin support: Helps the immune system see hidden infections Improves response to other treatments Supports long-term healing rather than short-term suppression Key Takeaway If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel stuck, the issue may not be what you’re treating - rather w hat’s been blocking your body from clearing it. Excess fibrin may be that missing piece. Action Plan If you think this may apply to you: Request the Hypercoag Reflexive3 Panel (Labcorp Test Code: 505443) Set up an appointment with your provider to discuss the results.

NAD Drip, Chippewa Falls

Feeling tired? Try an NAD Infusion

December 1, 2023
Want help to get ready for the holidays? Having difficulty adjusting to the time change? Consider an NAD Infusion. What are the benefits? NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that powers metabolic processes and impacts a wide variety of systems including digestion, cognition, mental clarity, aging, and overall energy levels. ​ NAD+ increases our body’s levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, and can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. NAD+ plays a role in cell health and in hundreds of cell functions such as DNA repair, circadian rhythm, metabolism, muscle function, tissue repair and cognitive function. Basically, our cells require NAD+ to quickly shuttle around electrons - keeping the cells buzzing with the electricity of life! ​ Who is it for? NAD+ is the premier IV drip for clients who want to see major improvements in brain function, energy level, overcome anxiety and depression, handle acute and chronic stress more effectively, and cope better with PTSD. ​ What's inside? We administer 250mg or 500 mg of NAD+ in an IV drip. (We always start with 250mg the very first time you try it.) ​ How often? For best results, NAD+ may need several sessions depending on personal needs. The number of sessions will be discussed during an initial encounter. The NAD+ IV drip does take longer to receive than any other IV drip. Each session may last from 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the tolerance. During the infusion, an individual might feel a bit of discomfort compared to standard vitamin drips - described as a bit of a rush through the body, but this is completely normal and can be controlled by how fast the IV is set to drip and stops within a minute or two after the drip ends. ​ Our NAD+ drip can be followed by Glutathione -"Master Antioxidant " - for best results. Fall 2023 Special - 250mg is $250 and 500mg is $350. Glutathione 1g added on after the infusion is $35.00.
