Linda Matteoli, DO, MS, graduated from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and continued her medical training in a family medicine residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School where she served as chief resident.  She is board certified in family medicine and also holds a master’s degree in nutrition from Simmons College in Boston. Additionally, she has an undergraduate degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida.

Linda began researching and studying functional medicine after graduating from residency and searching for answers regarding her own health. At that time, she felt the sickest she had ever been. The years of stress, sleepless nights, poor nutrition, limited exercise and infrequent gatherings with family and friends left her anxious and unwell. She became frustrated with the options offered by conventional medicine, and wanted to heal in a holistic manner. She then asked herself, “How can I become the type of physician I would want to see?” 

Linda began training with the Institute of Functional Medicine which teaches healthcare professionals to get to the root cause of lifestyle driven disease through a patient centered, systems biology approach. She has completed the Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice course; which teaches clinicians to more effectively integrate science, research, and clinical insights to treat and prevent disease and maintain health. She has also completed two advanced practice modules, namely Energy and Cardiometabolic. She is also a member of the Functional Forum and regularly attends continuing education modules.

“Studying functional medicine has opened up a new world to me, I look at disease differently and my “toolbox” to treat disease continues to grow. It is truly an honor to study medicine and all the complementary therapies that may enhance the lives of my patients”
