About Carin Nielsen, MD — Integrative & Functional Medicine
Dr. Nielsen is a family-medicine physician practicing integrative and functional medicine, seeing patients entirely by secure video visit throughout Michigan. She is explicit that she works as a physician consultant rather than a primary care doctor, with no primary care, urgent care or after-hours services, and is happy to communicate with a patient's own physician. Menopause and perimenopause care is one of three main service lines alongside thyroid optimization and gut health, with hormone therapy decisions framed around symptoms, targeted laboratory testing and personal risk factors. Initial consultations run 45 to 60 minutes after a detailed health history, and plans typically combine advanced testing with nutrition, supplements and prescriptions.
