Frankie Weinberger

Frankie Weinberger is a board certified physician assistant with a master’s degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 2000. Since then she has worked mainly in outpatient internal medicine, family practice, allergy/immunology, and in endocrinology at Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin since 2018.

She holds several certifications, including CDCES (certified diabetes care and education specialist), Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, IFMCP (Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner), CBT-I trained clinician (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), and RYT500 (registered yoga teacher).

With her lifelong interest in holistic, integrative medicine, Frankie attended many conferences in integrative medicine, and then studied through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and completed certification as a diplomate in lifestyle medicine in 2022. In 2023, she completed certification after several years of study with the Institute of Functional Medicine.

The functional medicine approach most closely aligns with her lifelong philosophy of discovering and treating the root causes of illness – especially lifestyle and environmental factors starting with nutrition and the GI (gastrointestinal) system. It is in the GI system that health and disease often start since it is where essential nutrients and neurotransmitters are absorbed, made or processed, and toxins are eliminated. Other important systems that are evaluated in functional medicine are the hormonal and immune systems as well as cellular function, circulatory, and environmental influence. It is her goal to apply the principles of lifestyle medicine and functional medicine to help support the body’s ability to heal and achieve greater wellness and wholeness.

Frankie’s areas of special interest include those with some of the greatest impact on health and wellness:

• Gastrointestinal health and nutrition
• Hormonal system balance
• Immune system health
• Lifestyle Medicine
• Women’s Health
• Mental Health

In her free time, Frankie enjoys spending time with family and friends, gardening organic edibles and ornamentals, volunteering as a Master Gardener, hiking, biking, teaching yoga, and playing piano and guitar.
