Sofie and Amy ask Stacy, how do you really know when you are in perimenopause? What is happening to us? When can it all start? What should I do? All questions we should be asking ourselves as young as 35.

More about Stacy Marie, NP:

Stacy is a double board certified Family & Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with a gift for making intricate functional medicine interventions simple, accessible and manageable.

Stacy Marie Ronquillo, NP, brings over 18 years of healthcare experience, including more than a decade spent in the fast-paced and demanding environment of the emergency room. During her time in the ER, she witnessed the immense challenges patients face when navigating the conventional healthcare system. Time and again, individuals arrived at their breaking point—often because they lacked the proper guidance, preventive care, or time with their primary provider to address issues before they escalated.

Stacy’s firsthand experience revealed a troubling pattern: patients waiting for hours in overcrowded, stressful environments, only to receive temporary solutions that failed to address the root cause of their concerns. Many would return to the ER weeks later, caught in a cycle of frustration and uncertainty. The same issues were prevalent in primary care, where rushed visits, long wait times, and one-size-fits-all approaches left patients feeling unheard and unsupported, without a clear plan to address their health.

Motivated to provide a better solution, Stacy founded Remedy Functional Medicine to redefine healthcare through a functional medicine lens. Her practice is rooted in the belief that every patient deserves time, understanding, and a personalized approach to care. At Remedy Functional Medicine, patients receive more than symptom management—they receive thorough assessments, individualized plans, and tools to address the root causes of their health concerns. By focusing on prevention, metabolic health, and whole-body wellness, Stacy helps her patients regain control of their health while avoiding unnecessary prescriptions or emergency visits.

Stacy’s mission is to bridge the gaps in conventional medicine, offering a compassionate and empowering approach that ensures patients never feel like a number. Through Remedy Functional Medicine, she delivers the kind of care that prioritizes connection, clarity, and lasting results.
