At Functional PharmD. By KG we emphasize the priority of prevention over prescriptions. We adopt the Functional Nutrition lens of a full body systems approach to health and wellness. Our bodies have been uniquely designed to work synergistically using vital nutrients to function as a whole. How our bodies use and respond to those nutrients, as well as exposure to toxins, affect our ability to achieve optimal health. Functional Nutrition helps to nourish the environment of our cells by emphasizing the importance of cellular nutrition, gut health, and detoxification. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, and keeping them healthy is crucial for overall well-being. This level of thinking has evolved beyond just managing diseases and symptoms. By focusing on healing the cells, we can address the root cause of many health issues including chronic fatigue, blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, IBS, and so much more. Food effects our physiology and is our natural medicine, allowing us to eliminate many symptoms of disease.
Functional PharmD. by KG will help you understand how food and toxins affect the health of your cells, and take a focused, personalized approach to your care. Discover exactly what your body needs instead of using band-aid solutions. Whether it's improving your diet, addressing critical micronutrient deficiencies, or understanding what your bloodwork is really saying, our team is committed to helping you reach your goals.

Dr. Kristen Gonzales PharmD., CFNC
Founder of Functional PharmD. By KG
Kristen Gonzales was born and raised in Metairie, Louisiana, where she attended St. Clement of Rome and later graduated from Mount Carmel Academy as the Class of 2003. She went on to attend Louisiana State University, where she met the love of her life, before pursuing her Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Xavier University of Louisiana.
After completing her studies, Kristen began her career as a community pharmacist in Mandeville, Louisiana. In 2017, her personal health challenges led her to discover the transformative power of Functional Medicine. This journey inspired her to expand her professional path—earning a certification as a Functional Nutritionist and becoming the Louisiana State Chapter Leader for the first-ever Functional Medicine Pharmacists Alliance.
With a passion for helping others uncover the root causes of their health concerns, Kristen founded Functional PharmD. by KG to bring integrative, patient-centered care to her community. She’s passionate about changing the way pharmacy is done—shifting from quick fixes and band-aid solutions to a root-cause, functional medicine approach.
