From Part of the Problem to Remedy: A Nurse’s Gut Health Mission

NATIONWIDE - AUGUST 2025 - (USAnews.com) In today’s healthcare system, many people feel stuck in a cycle of symptoms without ever finding the real answers. For Jhamillia Weekes-Bowers, Nurse Practitioner and founder of My Remedy Functional Health Nursing Corporation, that same frustration became a turning point. Having once experienced it herself—as both a patient and a clinician—she chose a new path. Today, she is an emerging voice in functional health, with a story of perseverance, transformation, and a deep passion for helping others achieve true wellness.

The Origins of My Remedy Functional Health Nursing Corporation

Jhamillia Weekes-Bowers founded My Remedy Functional Health Nursing Corporation with a simple but powerful mission: to offer a modern, science-backed approach to holistic health. Based in Fallbrook/Temecula, California, and serving clients virtually across the state, the practice provides a personalized health roadmap for women and families facing health concerns that often go unexplored in routine care. By adding education, advanced testing, and individualized strategies, Jhamillia empowers clients with insights and tools that support their overall wellness journey.

This philosophy is deeply rooted in Jhamillia’s own health journey. As a busy mom and healthcare provider, she faced her own struggles—feeling exhausted, mentally foggy, and battling chronic back pain—yet was repeatedly told her lab results were “normal.” She knew firsthand the frustration of having a long list of concerns but only minutes with a provider to address them. These experiences fueled her determination to create something better—My Remedy Functional Health.

"I felt like I was part of the problem," she admits. "As a provider, I had only ten minutes to see a patient, and with a packed schedule, there wasn’t enough time to truly listen and address the root causes of their concerns." This led to burnout and a sense of helplessness—both for her patients and for herself.

Jhamillia knew that something had to change. She began to study functional health and became certified in the field, gaining a deeper understanding of the vital connection between the gut and overall health. She soon realized that the healthcare system she had once been a part of was missing something vital—the ability to address the body’s imbalances before they became bigger health issues. This insight sparked the creation of My Remedy Functional Health.

From Frustration to Solution

The turning point came when Jhamillia realized that the answers her patients were seeking weren’t in the conventional model. By taking a deeper, more individualized approach to healthcare, she found that it was possible to provide true healing—not just symptom management.

Through personalized health coaching, functional lab testing, and tailored nutrition and lifestyle strategies, Jhamillia helps her clients regain control over their health, often in ways they never thought possible. Whether it's through natural hormone support , improving digestion, reducing brain fog, or boosting energy, the focus is on sustainable change—empowering people to feel like themselves again.

What Makes My Remedy Unique Today

What sets My Remedy Functional Health apart is Jhamillia’s ability to combine clinical expertise with personal experience. With dual graduate degrees in public health and nursing—an MPH from The George Washington University and an MSN/FNP from Western University of Health Sciences—along with a BS in Biology from Oakwood University, she brings a strong academic foundation to her work. Combined with more than a decade of experience in family practice, dermatology, clinical research, and community health, Jhamillia offers a unique perspective that bridges science, clinical care, and lived experience.

Jhamillia’s approach complements conventional healthcare, which is often structured around diagnosing and treating illness. While doctors do their best within the system they practice in, time and resource limits can make it difficult to address prevention, lifestyle, and root-cause factors in depth. My Remedy Functional Health was created to fill that gap—providing education, advanced functional lab testing, and personalized coaching to support whole-body wellness.

The Importance of Gut Health in Whole-Body Wellness

One of the key aspects of Jhamillia’s approach is the emphasis on gut health, which she believes is the missing link in modern medicine. "The gut is so much more than just a digestive organ—it’s the foundation of our overall health," she says. "From digestion to hormones, skin, mood, energy, and mental clarity, the health of the gut impacts every aspect of our well-being."

A disrupted gut microbiome can lead to a range of issues, from fatigue and weight changes to anxiety and poor sleep. Through functional testing, Jhamillia identifies imbalances in the gut that may be contributing to her clients' symptoms—imbalances that often go undetected in traditional healthcare settings.

Incorporating gut health into her clients' wellness journeys is not just about addressing symptoms—it’s about creating lasting change. "By optimizing gut health, we can improve everything from mental clarity and mood to digestion and energy levels," Jhamillia explains. "It’s a powerful foundation for whole-body wellness."

The My Remedy Experience: What Clients Can Expect

“At My Remedy Functional Health, I see my work as a partnership with my clients. They have an equal voice at the table—there’s no hierarchy in this relationship,” says Jhamillia. “There’s so much noise in the news and on social media about what you ‘should’ be doing for your health. My role is to help filter out the truth from the fads and connect it back to you as an individual—what actually matters for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.”

Through My Remedy, Jhamillia offers signature programs like the Remedy My Gut 3-month program and the My Remedy Total Reset 5-month program, both designed to help clients make lasting improvements to their health.Clients begin with a one-hour comprehensive health intake, where Jhamillia takes the time to understand the full picture of their health—not just their symptoms.Then, during a dedicated 1-hour functional lab review, she walks clients through their results in detail—explaining what the numbers mean and how they can be addressed through personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement strategies.

Two 30-minute follow-up visits each month ensure that clients have ongoing support, with adjustments made based on progress. Clients also have secure messaging access during business hours, allowing for real-time answers to questions and ongoing encouragement.
