Dr. Sonza Curtis's journey as a Functional Medicine practitioner and black holistic doctor started early. She was influenced by the natural home remedies of her great-grandmother, a herbalist and midwife. During her childhood summers, Dr. Sonza would learn all about plants and herbs from her grandmother and see their healing properties firsthand.
Dr. Sonza grew up in Germany, and her passion for blending natural medicine with western medicine grew as she saw this country use plant-based nutraceuticals to help heal patients. With an open-minded perspective and back in the United States, Dr. Sonza pursued her master's as a Physician Assistant degree, especially after she noticed health challenges in her own family.
After a decade of practicing, Dr. Sonza knew that she was only managing her patient's chronic issues. She was dealing with a long history of high blood pressure herself and decided it was time to get back to her grandmother's roots.
During this same time as a Physician Assistant, she discovered Functional Medicine. She permanently switched paths to focus on more natural therapies when her daughter was diagnosed with Autoimmune Thyroiditis. By applying Functional Medicine principles, they were able to get to the root causes, and now her daughter is in remission.
Dr. Sonza Curtis has always been committed to helping people get better naturally and has many techniques built into her practice designed to help patients get back to health better than before they came through her doors. Her ability to listen carefully to her patients, along with the mix of western medicine and naturopathy, make her a top Functional Medicine doctor in the Atlanta metro area.
Her office offers holistic treatments that both Dr. Sonza and her patients see positive results. Her motto is to treat all people with natural medicines to assist in balancing their overall health, giving them what they didn't know was missing.
In addition to utilizing these treatments effectively, she also strives to teach patients that their good health is dependent on:
A well-functioning gut system that is supplemented with proper enzymes.
A well-functioning autoimmune and hormonal system that is well balanced.
A supportive network of relationships with friends, family, and medical practitioners.
Dr. Sonza Curtis founded Three D Wellness, a Functional Medicine Practice, in 2011. She is also a part of the Rocky Mountain University Health Professions adjunct faculty and teaches graduate classes on Gastrointestinal Disorders and Therapeutic Diets.
Dr. Sonza is also the best-selling co-author of the book "No More Band-Aids," a community health leader, missionary to Africa, master storyteller, international speaker, wife, mother of four, and grandmother of four
Dr. Sonza helps her patients tap into their body's innate ability to heal itself and provides them with clinical tools and resources that they can take beyond their doctor's office. - Email: sc.furn@gmail.com
