Dr. Pamela Smith is one of the most well-known lecturers in functional medicine. She started out as a family practice and ER doctor but has moved into the arena of functional medicine, hormones and protocols to heal.

Dr. Pamela Smith is the founder of The Fellowship in Anti-Aging. She created the modules for this 5-year board certification program where doctors learn how to become “functional practitioners” – all based on science.
