Dr. Hibler's journey into functional medicine was deeply personal. After giving birth via cesarean section, she developed a serious infection that led to a near-death experience. During her recovery, she discovered the profound healing power of IV therapy and holistic approaches that addressed the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
This transformative experience shaped her philosophy: "Food as Medicine" is powerful, but when gut health is compromised, nutrient absorption can drop to as little as 10%. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream for near-100% absorption—something that proved crucial in her own healing journey.
As a third-generation physician, Dr. Hibler carries forward a family legacy of healing while embracing modern functional medicine. Her thesis work focused on "Genetic Alterations Due to Environmental Toxicities," reflecting her deep commitment to understanding the complex interactions between our bodies, environment, and health.
