Donna is passionate about guiding women through midlife transformation. She is a Certified Functional Medicine Provider, Licensed Nurse Practitioner, and Board-Certified Nurse Midwife who has spent the last 15 years caring for women across the lifespan and solving medical mysteries for many who have otherwise been unable to find resolution elsewhere.
In 2015 Donna found herself in the throes of perimenopause, 40 pounds overweight with excruciating joint pain, 2 failing hips, a dependence on NSAIDs, thinning hair, weak nails, and hot flashes galore. Her physical therapist told her she needed double hip replacement surgery. Instead of going under the knife and falling prey to worsening menopausal symptoms, Donna researched alternatives and discovered the wonders of Functional Medicine!
Within weeks, her pain resolved; Donna avoided surgery, discontinued taking NSAIDs, and lost 40 pounds by addressing the root cause of her chronic inflammation, changing her lifestyle, altering her diet, and reducing toxic exposures.
Donna even turned back her biological clock, which currently registers at 14 years younger than her chronological age.
Donna’s health transformation fueled her enthusiasm and desire to help others achieve the same success, and she is committed to providing guidance and support to anyone who is determined to do so. She founded Midlife Midwife Functional Health to fulfill her dream of helping others optimize their health, improve their vitality, and live longer happier lives.
When not actively conquering the healthcare battles of others, Donna can be found outside in nature enjoying the sunshine, taking a stroll, traveling with friends and family, or watching sappy rom-coms. She is a diehard foodie, a wine enthusiast, fluent in Spanish, and she loves to spend a weekend afternoon relaxing with her hubby at one of the many beautiful local wineries in Loudoun County, Northern Virginia. - Email: donnajkfigueroa@gmail.com
