Melissa Bass, PharmD
Dr. Melissa Bass has spent over 20 years working in the field of pharmacy. She graduated with her Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from Campbell University and has a Masters in Clinical Toxicology from the University of Florida. She is a Functional Medicine Pharmacist that specializes in chronic and environmental health conditions such as metabolic and autoimmune disorders, including mold and heavy metal toxicity.
Symptoms of a metabolic disorder can be manifested as elevated glucose, weight gain, thyroid changes, chronic fatigue, increased cholesterol, hormone imbalances…and more. Autoimmune disorders can manifest themselves in many ways, including hair loss, allergies, joint pain, chronic fatigue, skin conditions such as psoriasis, weight gain (or loss), gut dysbiosis, and more.
Symptoms of mold and metal toxicity are not always obvious and require experience.
As a pharmacist with specialized knowledge in toxicology, Melissa is uniquely positioned to review all prescription medications and over-the-counter medications and make recommendations to improve your health. Toxic exposure is everywhere (medications, water, personal hygiene products, stress …) and it is important to speak with someone knowledgeable in that area.
My Approach
At your wits end?
Asking, “Why do I feel sooo bad”?
Weight gain, inflammation, headaches, GI distress, insomnia, foggy brain, joint pain, fatigue, hair loss, mood swings ……
Identify the problem
Dr. Bass works hard to identify the root cause of your concern. She spends time with you, listens to you and your concerns, and puts the many pieces of the puzzle together to recognize the root cause.
Treat and reverse
Once the root cause is determined, symptoms can be treated and the disease process reversed through the use of food, meditation, stress lowering strategies, toxin reduction, hormone and microbiome balance.
