Nadia Applegate, FNP-C, FMACP Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner | Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner Founder, In Harmony Health and Wellness | Glendale, Arizona

For more than twenty years, Nadia Applegate has worked inside the American healthcare system — first as a registered nurse, then as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner — and she has spent much of that time watching something deeply frustrating unfold: people getting sicker despite doing everything their doctors prescribed.

In primary care and geriatric medicine, Nadia saw the same pattern repeat itself. Symptoms were managed. Medications were added. But the underlying why — the hormonal imbalances, the metabolic dysfunction, the nutritional deficiencies driving everything — was rarely asked about, let alone addressed. Patients weren't failing their healthcare. Their healthcare was failing them.

That conviction became personal in 2020, when Nadia underwent an unexpected hysterectomy. What followed was a journey that many of her patients now describe to her in their very first appointment — the struggle to get answers, to be taken seriously, to find a provider who would look beyond a "normal" lab result and actually help her feel like herself again. It was navigating her own recovery, and talking with countless other women facing the same wall of dismissal, that cemented her direction: she would become the provider she had needed herself.

Nadia deepened her training in functional and integrative medicine, earning her FMACP certification, and founded In Harmony Health and Wellness with a clear purpose — to offer women in midlife (and the men who need it too) a different kind of care. One rooted in education, empowerment, and the belief that understanding what is happening in your body is not a luxury — it's the foundation of lasting health.

With a BSN from Grand Canyon University, her NP from Chamberlain College of Nursing, and nearly two decades of clinical experience spanning RN practice, primary care, and functional medicine, Nadia brings both deep conventional training and advanced integrative expertise to every patient encounter. She focuses not just on lifespan, but on health span — how well you live, not just how long.

Her practice integrates hormone optimization, medical weight loss, metabolic and gut health, alcohol reduction support, and aesthetic treatments — because looking your best and feeling your best are not separate goals. They are two expressions of the same thing: a life lived fully, from the inside out.

"I want my patients to understand what is happening in their bodies, know their options, and feel genuinely supported — not just managed. You deserve answers, not just prescriptions." — Nadia Applegate, FNP-C, FMACP
