About Mint Health
Mint Health is an integrative functional medicine gynecology practice in Baton Rouge where Dr. Buchert sees patients alongside a nurse practitioner. Both have been Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioners since 2017. As of October 2025 every patient, existing and new, must hold an annual Integrative Functional Wellness Membership, so routine gynecologic care, hormone replacement and functional medicine all run through that one model. Prospective patients can book a Discovery Visit with either provider to decide before committing, and membership is capped, with a waiting list once capacity is reached. Dr. Buchert is a board-certified OB-GYN who also operates, including endometrial ablation, laparoscopy and robotic hysterectomy.
