Dr. Brian Bernier is our esteemed Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, who prioritizes the overall wellness of his patients, focusing on enhancing their quality of life and reducing dependency on medications by aiding natural healing processes.
Dr. Bernier is dedicated to his patients, spending a significant portion of his time in clinical practice. He also contributes to the academic community by writing examination questions for national medical student exams. With a robust background in psychology, Dr. Bernier is adept at providing counseling and has been actively involved in community health initiatives. He has worked with co-ops to improve access to fresh produce in underserved areas and delivered health talks to various groups.
His academic credentials include a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Health Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Leo University.
An advocate for physical and mental challenges, Dr. Bernier enjoys staying active through running and practicing parkour at local gyms. His passion for learning extends to languages, and he treasures authentic experiences while traveling internationally.
One of the most rewarding aspects of his work is witnessing patients overcome their health conditions, learning that medicine can provide more holistic solutions beyond prescriptions.
A lesser-known fact about Dr. Bernier is his remarkable chess skills, having won numerous trophies and tournaments. In a generous gesture, he donated most of his trophies to a public library that hosted his local chess club.
Dr. Bernier is inspired by the words of Ibn Sina: “The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.” This philosophy reflects his comprehensive approach to patient care, seeking to understand and address the root causes of health issues.
Christine is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and currently holds a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from North Park University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing. Christine has 10 years of critical care experience working as a Registered Nurse (RN) within local Trauma Emergency Rooms in the Chicagoland area. In this capacity she realized the important role nurses play in stabilizing critically ill patients and advocating for the best interest of her patients when they are most vulnerable. In this fast-paced environment, she also realized that she could play a bigger role in promoting health and well-being by advancing her nursing education to become a healthcare provider. As an FNP, she hopes to provide care that promotes good health behaviors and practices so patients can thrive and meet their health goals.
Given her experience working with diverse patient populations, Christine is better able to individualize care delivery to meet the needs of each patient. The mind, the body and spirit have to be taken into account for a better outcome; and to achieve mutual health goals. Christine is a good listener and likes to involve each patient in their plan of care. She’s also aware that we all have our own cultural, religious and social preferences so she makes sure to take this into account when individualizing care.
During her free time, you can find her on a hiking trail or spending time with her family and friends.
