My Journey
Into Holistic Medicine
I'm Amy Read, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Sunshine Functional Healing.
I started this practice because I lived it first.
For years, I was the patient sitting in the exam
room being told my labs were "fine," nothing
was wrong, and I just needed to learn to live with it.
I was on 5 to 6 prescriptions and still felt terrible. But I refused to accept that as my answer. That refusal led me to functional medicine, and it changed everything.

I got to the root of what was actually going on in my body, and today I'm on zero prescriptions. It literally saved my life.
Now this is my passion. I help people who are stuck in that same cycle, being dismissed, over-medicated, and told there's nothing wrong when they know something is.
I dig deeper, I look at the full picture, and I find the real answers. Root cause wellness isn't just what I practice, it's
what gave me my life back.
I meet my patients where they are. I know lifestyle changes are hard, and I'm not here to hand you a list and send you on your way. I'm here to walk with you, one step at a time, for the long haul. Having a provider who's genuinely committed to your journey makes all the difference, and that's exactly what I am.
Our Services
Pathways To Your
Transformation
I currently see patients virtually in Michigan, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and New York, with in-person visits available in Michigan and South Carolina.
In-person exams are typically available in Michigan throughout April and September, and South Carolina typically in October.
Dates and locations are chosen by need, so contact me directly for details.
In-person visits are required annually for all clients prescribed a controlled substance.
Please note: Controlled substance prescribing (stimulants, etc.) is only available to patients located in Michigan and South Carolina due to DEA licensing requirements. All other services are available in every state I practice in.

Client's Testimonial
From my very first appointment with the team at Sunshine Functional Healing, I knew this experience would be different. They took the time to understand my health history, listened without judgment, and created a personalized plan that addressed the root causes of my weight challenges.

Experiences That
Speak for Themselves
It's a shame that I can only select 3 words that best describe my experience - because Amy Read has demonstrated far more than the 3 I selected.
