About Allyson Norton, PA-C

I have always had a strong belief in functional medicine and finding the "why" behind illness. After 4 years of dedicated practice in urgent care, I have grown more and more uncomfortable with the way conventional medicine approaches and treats illness. Providing band-aid treatments for patients symptoms, rather than finding the root cause, perpetuates and sometimes exacerbates disease states. Let's switch the mindset from defensive medicine to offensive medicine.

This is where the idea for Pulse came into play. Creating an integrative environment that joins both conventional medicine and functional medicine to treat patients. My goal is to deliver patient-centered care in order to find a natural solution to chronic disease. The focus of pulse is on gut health and healing in order to help with weight loss and treat other conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and GI conditions. Through a comprehensive evaluation I employ a systematic approach that investigates lifestyle factors, nutritional patterns, physical activity levels, environmental exposures, and other fundamental determinants of health to identify and address the root causes of disease.
