Meet Deanna Fulcher
As a Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of experience in the Utah area, I am deeply committed to changing lives with root cause medicine. After experiencing my own health journey, I understand firsthand the transformative power of both traditional and functional medicine. Since becoming a registered nurse in 1996, I have accumulated over 25 years of diverse experience, including hospital settings, home health, hospice, long-term care, and recovery from opioids and eating disorders. My certification in GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) was a pivotal moment in my healing from fatigue, brain fog, lack of motivation, and sugar addiction. This journey inspired me to pursue a Nurse Practitioner degree in 2020, followed by a Functional Medicine certification, recognizing the immense potential to complement the traditional medical system.
With comprehensive training in nutrition and functional medicine, coupled with traditional medical expertise, I am eager to help others achieve better health. Let's embark on this journey together and unlock the healing potential within us all.

Testimonials
Renee S.
“I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when I called Deanna for help. She was very good at listening, and then explaining the process and science behind what my body was doing. She offered a pathway of solutions that felt attainable. Within a few weeks, I was feeling better and had more energy. My body felt strong and the autoimmune disease was put into remission with some diet changes to rebuild my leaky gut. I was also able to eat some foods again that I hadn’t eaten for years!”
Christina Martin, Price, Utah
“I’ve known Deanna for about eight years and after just one conversation with her I knew right away we would become kindred spirits! Both of us share common interests that include living as toxin-free as possible.
As I got to know her further, I realized that Deanna had such a wealth of understanding regarding the relationship between food and our bodies. She’s taught me that directed, purposeful nutrition is the most effective tool to reverse any metabolic issue.
Through following her FB page, Eating to Heal, I’ve learned how to make my own fermented foods to support the gut biome, bone broth for overall wellness and even recipes to make sweet treats in a healthy way.
Deanna has such a positive and pleasant and is always easy to talk to. Plus, I can tell she genuinely cares about me as a person, patient and friend. If you want a medical provider that will truly listen to your concerns and help you come up with an action plan that will work, look no further, you’ve found her!

This letter is in response to a statement on how you helped me live a much better life.
One afternoon, now many years ago, you came to my house and after a few pleasantries that we shared, you told me that you came over to save my life. I was a little stunned but I have learned to listen to what other people say to me and I have a deep faith in God plus have had other times when the Lord has spoken to me directly or through other people, so I listened to you and believed what you said to me that day. I am so happy that you followed your heart to help me.
You taught me how to lower my inflammation through classes and a lot of personal visits. Learning how to make the foods and changing my diet to include many home made remedies like fermented cabbage such as Kim Chi, plus other fermented vegetables and non fermented almond flour muffins filled with fruit was easy.
What amazed me was that the changes were simple and truly good tasting. My favorite and I use it almost daily is bone broth, beef or chicken. Even though I haven't done everything you have suggested, I have incorporated a large amount of changes like taking a probiotic daily, cutting down largely on sugar born foods and carbohydrates.
My state of health was terrible when I started in my late sixties and my 30 year plus fight with diabetes had caused horrible neuropathy in my legs and feet. Now with your help, some other supplements, my neuropathy is now 90% better with almost no pain. (Originally, I used nine u-100 vials of insulin monthly. Because my pancreas is somewhat functioning I now use 4 vials a month.)
I highly recommend Deanna's help in changing anyone's health and life for the better. You certainly helped me Deanna and I feel you DID save my life, Thanks.
All the Best,
George I.
