Christine Maren, DO, IFMCP, MSCP

Christine Maren, DO, IFMCP, MSCP, is a board-certified physician specializing in comprehensive, root-cause care for women. As the founder of a thriving functional medicine practice, she addresses the full spectrum of health concerns that affect women in midlife, with a focus on hormone balance, thyroid function, gut health, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic resilience.

She is known for her expertise in the gut–hormone–immune connection, a dynamic relationship that influences energy, mood, metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, and disease risk. By integrating conventional diagnostics with advanced functional medicine testing, lifestyle strategies, and precision hormone therapy, she delivers personalized care plans that address the whole woman, not just her symptoms.

Her signature three-pillar method—Address Root Cause, Optimize Hormones, and Build Resilience—empowers women to take agency over their health, restore vitality, and create lasting transformation. A mother of three, Dr. Maren brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work, having navigated fertility struggles, thyroid disease, and hormonal shifts herself. She is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP), and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), with additional training through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Maren is on the Scientific Advisory Board for Microbiome Labs, and was awarded the 2025 Microbiome Pioneer Award for her contributions to the gut microbiome–perimenopause connection. She is a sought-after speaker on women’s health, gut health, hormones, and immune resilience.
