About Melissa Bunkers Revive Functional Medicine

Why Trust Us?

Why should you trust me and my team to get you the answers and results you want and need?

That's a great question!

I'm a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and certified Functional Medicine expert with over 400 hours of training through the School of Applied Functional Medicine (plus hundreds of hours of clinical experience!).

I have a proven track record and serious passion for using Functional Medicine to help women find the unique answers and solutions they need to resolve all of their health struggles.

From managing the sickest patients in the ICU to now mapping out ALL of your health history, years of symptoms, goals, and lab results to create a protocol that will WORK for your body and lifestyle....I've pretty much done and do it all!

It's a privilege when a woman chooses and trusts me to guide and support her during a time when she feels sick, frustrated, and confused about her health.

I'd be honored to help YOU get well and stay well, once and for all.

Meet The Expert

Melissa Bunkers, MSN, FNP-BC

Hello friend! I'm so glad you're here! I am a wife, mom to three little girls, Nurse Practitioner, certified Functional Medicine expert, course creator, and owner of Revive Functional Medicine. I am incredibly passionate about educating, empowering, and inspiring women to take control of their health by understanding and listening to their body.

I graduated with Honors from The University of Iowa College of Nursing in 2010. I then attended Frontier Nursing University and graduated with a Master's in Nursing in 2016, and went on to get my certification in Functional Medicine in 2021. I have nearly 15 years of experience managing complex health issues.

My story with Functional Medicine began six months after my first daughter was born. I was back to working full-time as a busy Nurse Practitioner, obsessed with getting my "pre-baby body" back, barely sleeping, and running on E. Eventually, I found myself stuck in bed, exhausted to my bones, anxious, irritable, crying out of nowhere, nauseated, and missing out on precious time with my family. I was unable to be the mom or wife I wanted to be.

I went to my primary doctor who ran some basic tests and told me everything was "normal", but I knew better! I researched my way to balancing my hormones, became certified in Functional Medicine, and now I help other women heal their bodies too.

I created my online Health Consulting business, Revive Functional Medicine, to give women hope and the answers they aren't getting from traditional medicine.

What We Stand For

This is what we stand for. What drives us. And what makes up the core of how we do what we do.

Relatability

At Revive Functional Medicine, we walk the walk. We’ve struggled with our own health and have invested in and dedicated ourselves to Functional Medicine to feel our best. We are honest and transparent about our own struggles as women, moms, and partners, so you know you’re not alone. We want to show you that it is possible to feel so much better than what you do now, WITHOUT being perfect.

Radically Responsible

We take radical responsibility for our physical and mental health. We don’t rely on quick fixes or other people to heal us. We reject “all or nothing” thinking. We take action toward our goals everyday, knowing that small changes lead to big results.

Relationships

We’re in it for the long haul with you. We won’t hand you a couple of supplements and tell you to come back in a few weeks. We take the time to know you and your lifestyle. We provide comprehensive personalized protocols and recommendations, along with things like private chat messaging, weekly check-ins, and bi-weekly 1:1 sessions (and more!) to support you.

Empowering

We empower women to stand up for themselves and take control of their health and lives. We don’t settle for a stressed-out, maxed-out life. We are okay making uncommon choices that benefit our health, despite what others think. We know we are worthy of investing time, energy, and money in ourselves.

Consistently Committed

We are consistently committed to showing up for ourselves and our community. When life gets chaotic or when we have a set-back, we don’t throw in the towel. We are willing to do the work, trust the process, and lean on each other for support. We are 100% committed to our health and wellbeing and creating a partnership with you to help you heal you! We re-commit to our health whenever needed, as often as needed.

Making An Impact

We strive to impact current and future generations of women to know, love, and take care of their body. We help women understand how their body works, so they can teach the girls in their life how to achieve lifelong health and wellness themselves.

Sarah Ahrendt, RN, CFNC

I am a wife, busy mom to four kiddos, and a Registered Nurse of 13 years who discovered Functional Medicine during my own journey to health. I, too, had heard that everything was ‘normal’ by more than one doctor, but knew that feeling exhausted, bloated, and anxious was far from normal. Once I addressed the underlying cause of my symptoms and healed my body, I knew that I wanted to help others as well. I became a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, and cannot wait to join Melissa in helping women achieve healing and harmony in their bodies.
