Denise Palke is a native Oregonian and has been a family medicine doctor since 2010. She trained at Loma Linda University and then graduated from the Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine Residency in 2013. She has practiced in a variety of settings over the last 12 years, but as time went on, she started wondering if there was a better way to help her patients achieve optimal health. This led her first to a board certification in Lifestyle Medicine and ultimately, to training in functional medicine. She is planning on sitting for her functional medicine certification exam in 2026. Dr. Palke’s own journey included a diagnosis of celiac disease in 2020. After the diagnosis and admonishment to “do your best to avoid gluten,” she was sent back into the world thinking there must be more to it than that. She discovered functional medicine as a way to address how she got here in the first place, how to move towards healing and how to hopefully prevent future autoimmune conditions.
