Dr. Memun’s passion is to educate and empower patients to optimize health using individualized treatments to target underlying causes of imbalance. She has a particular interest in autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and healthy aging. Dr. Memun has advanced training in IV therapy and platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), including PRP joint injections, PRP hair restoration, and PRP microneedling facials.
Her journey into naturopathic medicine began with her own struggles with digestive and hormonal complaints as a teenager. After seeking countless conventional doctors amd treatments, she realized something was missing. Frustration led to empowerment as she took control of her own health through education and lifestyle changes. This transformational experience sparked her dedication to the principles and practices of holistic and individualized medicine, which had played a pivotal role in her own healing journey.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Memun is passionate about traveling, family, and working out. Her favorite pastime is watching football with her family and spending time with her two Pomeranians.
