About Mendli Health and Jenna Toupin, FNP-BC
Mendli Health is a virtual functional medicine practice founded by Jenna Toupin, a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (NPI: 1902659063) with over 8 years of clinical experience. Mendli serves patients nationwide through secure telehealth consultations. Unlike conventional 12-minute doctor visits, Mendli's initial assessments are 90 minutes long, allowing for thorough health timeline review, advanced diagnostic lab orders, and personalized root-cause investigation.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of disease rather than treating symptoms in isolation. At Mendli Health, this means comprehensive thyroid panels (including antibodies and reverse T3), advanced hormone testing, organic acids tests, gut microbiome analysis, food sensitivity panels, adrenal stress profiles, nutrient deficiency panels, inflammatory markers like hs-CRP, and metabolic health assessments. These labs go far beyond standard bloodwork ordered by conventional practitioners.
Conditions Treated at Mendli Health
Jenna Toupin specializes in root-cause investigation for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, brain fog, leaky gut syndrome, metabolic syndrome, perimenopause, estrogen dominance, and insulin resistance. Patients searching for "functional medicine near me," "Hashimoto's treatment," "SIBO specialist," or "hormone balancing" can schedule a virtual appointment with Mendli Health from anywhere in the United States.
