Ugne Aleknaite NP, Functional Medicine Practitioner

Ugne is a paragon of healthy living who has inspired people around her for decades. She believes that health is innate and that our lifestyle choices are our most powerful tools for positively impacting our health span. 

Currently she works with a small number of individual clients to optimize their health through Functional Medicine. This typically  involves detailed healthy histories, lab testing and interpretation, as well as prescriptions as needed to guide lifestyle changes. 

Ugne is a great example of the American dream. She moved to the US and taught herself English by listening to the radio while painting houses. Then had a successful massage career between Nantucket, Aspen and Boston. While in Boston she attended Simmons College and earned a degree cum laude in BioChemistry. Then she attended MGHIPH for a masters degree as a Nurse Practitioner while simultaneously completing the complete Institute for Functional Medicine curriculum. Since school she has been the Oncology program leader at Nantucket Cottage Hospital.
