Brandi Funk, FNP-C, RN

Hi, I’m Brandi. I’m a board-certified nurse practitioner.  I specialize in helping women in early breast cancer remission who are struggling with fatigue, weight gain, cancer treatment side effects and fear of cancer recurrence.  I help these women learn to implement key lifestyle changes so that they can achieve optimal health, improve their quality of life and decrease their chance of cancer recurrence.

I would love to help you too...

My Story

I’ve worked as an oncology nurse at an internationally renowned cancer center for 20 years.  I've been at the bedside and as a breast cancer quality of life researcher.   I’ve found that most women fighting breast cancer are not taught how to live to achieve optimal health to prevent cancer recurrence after they finish cancer treatment.

Too often, they are left to figure it out on their own, while feeling drained, overwhelmed, confused, frustrated and afraid that their cancer will return.

So Many Questions

While I was with the trenches, I often asked myself why these women weren’t better prepared for life after cancer. They had questions too.

Questions, such as…
  • “How do I prevent cancer recurrence?”
  • “What do I eat?”
  • “How do I lose weight?”
  • “How do I get my energy back?”

There is Help

I knew I could do more to help. I’ve spent the last decade studying health, integrative medicine and cancer prevention to help myself, friends, family and patients get healthy, feel great and prevent cancer and cancer recurrence. I’ve spent thousands of hours teaching people with cancer how to achieve optimal health while fighting cancer and beyond.

I’ve taken my experience and everything I’ve learned and have created a roadmap to health and wellness during breast cancer remission to help give these women a sense of control and hope for their future.

My Bio

I have been a practicing nurse for 25 years, and I've been a board-certified family nurse practitioner since graduating with a post master’s certification from Azusa Pacific University in 2006.

I have experience in family and integrative medicine, oncology, and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and autoimmune diseases.

I love to teach and I am a life-long learner.  I continue to expand my knowledge through continuing education and I am in the process of earning a certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine.

I live in southern California with my husband David and two cats. In my spare time, you can find me spending time with my two adult sons, Jacob and Jarod, enjoying a music concert or traveling to the beach or desert for some exploration and R & R.
