Erica Linn, NP

Erica Linn is a family nurse practitioner who has been training in integrative medicine since 2015. During her eight years as a registered nurse in a hospital, Erica cared for people in crisis, and she saw missed opportunities for preventive and holistic medicine. In graduate school, she developed a passion for treating people in the context of their everyday lives. At the same time, she struggled to get appropriate care for her own thyroid autoimmune disease. This led her to work with functional medicine providers. She is finishing her doctoral degree at the University of Wisconsin by researching integrative medicine topics. One of her two daughters is on the autism spectrum.

Through the use of therapeutic dietary intervention, biomedical treatments, and other therapies, Alex has made a recovery. She and her son both authored a chapter in the book titled Vaccine Epidemic. She has lectured in both the United States and Canada about medical care for children diagnosed with autism. She is a graduate of Marquette University, degreed in nursing.
