Michelle M. Thompson, MD

Functional Medicine Doctor

Health Consultant and Advisor

I’m an experienced medical leader specializing in Functional Medicine. I built my practice based on the foundational principles of caring for patients as a whole person. I investigate all the different organ systems to identify the root cause of illness. My primary role is to stay focused on addressing complex issues that require medical expertise. However, my responsibility is also to teach patients about their illness, so they understand the principles to living with vitality and having longevity. To help patients on their wellness journey, I created the Patient Transformation Guide. The process engages my healthcare team so patients have support, and accountability, while on their healing journey.

Dr. Thompson has had numerous appearances including The Fight for Mental Health Advocacy Events, nationally syndicated TV talk shows, and more. She’s also been featured on Real Convo with Miranda Khan and Alan Mednick, The Natural Nurse Podcast, The New Life Expo, Serendipity’s Handbag and High Heels, Boca Raton Holistic Chamber of Commerce, the Wealth Wellness Group of Raymond James’ Life Enrichment Series, and Voyage MIA Magazine’s most inspiring stories. In addition, she’s received several awards for outstanding service.

Background

Dr. Michelle Thompson earned her medical degree at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York, NY in 1997. After completing her residency in Internal Medicine, and Fellowship in Geriatrics at Montefiore Medical Center, she advanced her studies in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

Dr. Thompson launched her Geriatric private practice in 2004 and thrived caring for patients across various health care settings. In 2011, she was recruited by Holy Cross Hospital as Medical Director to design and lead their Palliative Medicine Service. After devoting six years to building a successful practice, she accepted a new challenge as Associate Medical Director at Vitas Healthcare.

After years of witnessing patients suffering on every level, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically, she began her transition to Functional Medicine. She launched Epoche Medical LLC with the purpose of building an environment with a culture of healing and wellness. She has designed patient care programs that set a new standard of care delivery.

Redefining Healthcare

Dr. Thompson, through her professional experience and her health struggles, learned that investing in a healthy lifestyle can not only revolutionize a person’s health trajectory but have a positive financial and social impact as well. With Functional Medicine, her focus shifted from ameliorating symptoms to ameliorating illness. She works with patients to help them understand three things: why they became sick, how lifestyle impacts healing, and how to maintain wellness. She works with a wide range of patients. Some want to optimize their wellness, exercise performance, and prevent disease. Others want to reverse symptoms of aging. Many have more complex conditions such as autoimmune disease, severe allergies, fatigue and exhaustion, thyroid disease, mold toxicity, mast cell reactivity, SIBO/SIFO and lyme disease, and are seeking options to feel better.

Individualized, Patient-centered, Science-based Approach

Functional Medicine explores all dimensions of illness. It offers an in depth analysis to identify and target the underlying cause of illness. At Epoche Medical LLC, we work in partnership with patients. We discuss natural treatment options, and formulate a comprehensive care plan that works for the patient to achieve optimal improvements.
