Hello!

I’m Michelle Seguin MD, a physician, mother, home cook, and passionate gardener. My mission is to support your health and well-being from soil to soul, by embracing the rhythms of nature through seasonal living.

As a board-certified family medicine, lifestyle medicine, and certified functional medicine physician (IFMCP), I’ve been sharing insights on the transformative power of “food as medicine” since 2016. My journey integrates clinical practice with the joys of home cooking and gardening, allowing me to explore the deep connections between our health, the food we eat, and the world around us. In this newsletter, you can expect a blend of research, nourishing recipes, and personal reflections that encourage you to embrace a seasonal approach to wellness.

I am currently a practicing telemedicine physician with Root Functional Medicine, where I focus on personalized lifestyle and functional medicine. Our motto is to support your “health from the ground up”!
