About Marjan
Dr. Marjan Vizcaino, DNP, NP, MN, knows what it feels like to be burned out, irritable, and foggy-headed—wondering if feeling “off” is the new normal. After years of struggling with hormone imbalances and feeling frustrated with conventional care that never addressed the root cause, she discovered functional medicine in her mid-40s—and everything changed.
Her own transformation is what now drives her to help others uncover the real reasons behind their symptoms. As a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 25 years in acute care medicine, Marjan focuses on hormone health, functional wellness, and aesthetics, combining advanced medical knowledge with a deeply personal understanding of what healing truly means.
She’s a wife, a mother of three daughters, and someone who’s walked the same path many of her patients are on. Marjan listens, guides, and builds personalized plans that help her patients feel like themselves again—strong, clear, and confident.
