A ROOT CAUSE APPROACH TO HORMONE OPTIMIZATION AND GUT HEALTH
We use advanced diagnostics and targeted protocols to help high-performing women improve energy, mental clarity, metabolic function, and gut health.
Does your body feel different than it used to? Let me guess…
Less resilient, more fatigued, brain fog, changes in your gut, disrupted sleep, mood swings, weight gain, or poor recovery.
These symptoms aren’t just “part of getting older” - they’re signals from your body and they’re often tied to gut and hormone imbalances.
With the right testing, the right plan, and the right support, you can feel powerful, focused, and fully present again.
Are you ready for something different?
Are you ready to stop pushing through symptoms and listen to what your body is saying?
Imagine feeling seen, supported, and in sync with a provider who understands.
Imagine having a plan rooted in your data, not guesswork.
Imagine feeling strong again - in your gut, your mind, your training, and your life.
Imagine aging with confidence, not confusion.
At Rise, we help you reconnect with your body and build lasting resilience from the inside out.

Hi! I’m Ashley Shrader, DNP, IFMCP

What to expect when working with an IFM-certified practitioner?
Feel seen and heard
A large part of functional medicine involves understanding who you are as an individual, your detailed personal and family history, the circumstances around your first symptoms, and the experiences you have had with other healthcare providers.
Test, don't guess
No more hours wasted on Google trying to understand your symptoms. Based on your story, I choose only the necessary testing that will help us create your own unique treatment plan based on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences.
A comprehensive approach
From chronic illness to disease prevention, functional medicine systematically addresses the unique physical, mental, and emotional needs of all patients. I have a deep understanding of biology, physiology, genetics, social and environmental determinants of health, and the vital connection between mental and physical well-being.

"Here’s to my “MVP” - aka Most Valuable Practitioner, Ashley Shrader, NP!"
Improving my hormone health through meetings with Ashley was the last piece of the puzzle for this 55 year old former 400-intermediate hurdler turned distance runner. It took me 5 years to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but I made it and ran and danced my way through all 26.2 miles of the course! I didn’t even try to PR…. I just celebrated and soaked up the day. Ashley’s health advice was a big part of my fitness and ability to qualify and then “party” the day away! Thank you for your invaluable health guidance and support, Ashley! You’re forever a part of my Boston experience!

I can honestly say that Ashley gave me back my life.
After many months of feeling “off” with multiple systems being affected, endless testing and no answers I needed to find someone who could help because I was not willing to accept that there was nothing more to be done. Traditional testing was all negative but digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, insomnia and an overall sense of not being myself put me on a search for answers. I took a chance and booked a strategy session with Ashley. Within minutes I felt that she could help me. It was clear to me that she reviewed my paperwork ahead of time and was prepared for our appointment. Ashley listened to me, was compassionate, caring, thoughtful and thorough. Ashley ordered extensive testing and a diagnosis was made followed by treatment and I can say that I’m feeling better than I have is such a long time. I really didn’t realize how bad I felt until I started feeling better. Ashley has been a real life saver for me. She mapped out a plan for me and has been accessible throughout this treatment. She did not apply a “cookie cutter “approach but tailored my plan specific to me and my needs. I am confident that I can continue on this journey of better health with Ashley as a partner. Meeting Ashley has been a real life changer for me!

"I cannot recommend this practice more."
I have dealt with chronic symptoms and I was told by numerous doctors that I was “fine” even though I felt horrible. I’m young, active and generally healthy, and knew I shouldn’t feel this bad everyday. I came across Rise and I’m SO glad I did. Not only is Ashley extremely kind, intelligent, compassionate and thorough but she also really genuinely listens to your needs and wants you to feel better. She offers thoughtful treatment suggestions and holistic approach is backed by science. In my short few months of following her treatment plan, I have never felt better. My brain fog has lifted, I feel lighter, happier and like myself again. I’m so grateful to have found Rise and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is thinking about making an appointment to do so!

“She listens.”
I’ve had many women ask me who I use for my ‘women stuff’ and I tell them, Ashley Shrader. She LISTENED intently to concerns I had and was intuitive in looking deeper in areas I never considered. If you are looking for an NP that knows hormones, autoimmune issues, and LISTENS, I highly recommend her!
