ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Ashley Shrader, DNP, IFMCP

I’m the founder of Rise Functional Medicine and someone who’s endlessly curious about how our brains, hormones, and guts shape the way we feel and perform. I work with athletes and active women to help them find their energy again, balance their hormones, and heal their gut- using a root-cause approach that actually makes sense.

I’m also passionate about teaching other healthcare providers how to integrate functional hormone and gut health strategies into their work with active and athletic clients. Through my CEU courses and mentorship, I aim to raise the standard of care for this unique and often overlooked population.

Choose Your Journey…

  • Personalized care for hormones and gut issues- tailored for active people & athletes.

  • Access courses, training, & resources designed for healthcare professionals seeking functional medicine knowledge.

  • Invite Ashley for speaking, media, writing, or PR opportunities to inspire and educate wider audiences.

What Clients are Saying…

  • "Here’s to my “MVP” - aka Most Valuable Practitioner, Ashley Shrader, NP!"

    Improving my hormone health through meetings with Ashley was the last piece of the puzzle for this 55 year old former 400-intermediate hurdler turned distance runner. It took me 5 years to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but I made it and ran and danced my way through all 26.2 miles of the course! I didn’t even try to PR…. I just celebrated and soaked up the day. Ashley’s health advice was a big part of my fitness and ability to qualify and then “party” the day away! Thank you for your invaluable health guidance and support, Ashley! You’re forever a part of my Boston experience!

  • "I cannot recommend this practice more."

    I have dealt with chronic symptoms and I was told by numerous doctors that I was “fine” even though I felt horrible. I’m young, active and generally healthy, and knew I shouldn’t feel this bad everyday. I came across Rise and I’m SO glad I did. Not only is Ashley extremely kind, intelligent, compassionate and thorough but she also really genuinely listens to your needs and wants you to feel better. She offers thoughtful treatment suggestions and holistic approach is backed by science. In my short few months of following her treatment plan, I have never felt better. My brain fog has lifted, I feel lighter, happier and like myself again. I’m so grateful to have found Rise and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is thinking about making an appointment to do so!

  • “She listens.”

    I’ve had many women ask me who I use for my ‘women stuff’ and I tell them, Ashley Shrader. She LISTENED intently to concerns I had and was intuitive in looking deeper in areas I never considered. If you are looking for an NP that knows hormones, autoimmune issues, and LISTENS, I highly recommend her!

  • "She doesn’t stop at a diagnosis..."

    Ashley is one of the most intelligent providers I’ve ever worked with. She doesn’t stop at a diagnosis but truly wants to find the deeper underlying causes and address those. She’s compassionate, a great listener, works hard for her patients, and has a desire to keep learning as functional medicine continuous to improve. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! She’s one of the good ones!!!
