About

Well Designed Functional Medicine

We believe that each individual is intentionally and uniquely designed to be well. We strive to serve as a vessel for guiding and restoring health in a world of sickness and disease. We believe that ultimate healing comes from truth and peace in all areas of life (physically, relationally, and spiritually – with God, others, and ourselves). We believe you can best fulfill your purpose and calling from a place of optimal health, and that potential exists in each of us. We strive to bring hope in the midst of suffering, to be a light in times of darkness, and serve the needs of those in our care.

Cultivating Compassion and Understanding

our commitment to you

Integrity

We believe in doing what is right, practicing open communication, and being transparent. We would never expect others to do something that we haven't done ourselves.

Compassion

Our goal is to provide a comforting space where you can openly share and confront the realities you're facing. You are not meant to walk this road alone.

Hope

We understand that true healing requires not only physical recovery but also a sense of hope and peace. We stand firm on the Truth that brings healing.

Service

We are all created for connection and community. We feel privileged to partner with you on your healing journey and strive to empower you in every way.

Dr. Jackie Van Manen

Dr. Jackie grew up in Wisconsin and has called the beautiful Coulee region home for nearly 20 years.  She did her medical school training at Des Moines University followed by Family Medicine Residency in La Crosse, WI and Osteopathic/Neuromusculoskeletal fellowship in Pikeville, KY.  After specializing in musculoskeletal care for over 13 years, her love for functional movement expanded into Functional Medicine through her personal health journey and realization that there is more to offer beyond conventional care. She is a lifelong learner and loves to share her knowledge and experience.  Dr. Jackie has completed several mentorships, including the Kalish Institute and Metabolic Fitness: Level III Blood Chemistry Interpretation, as well as coursework through the Institute of Functional Medicine, School of Applied Functional Medicine, Functional Medicine Academy, and American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. 

Dr. Jackie enjoys spending time with her husband and 2 children, whether outdoors exploring nature, family game nights, cooking tasty food, hosting friends, or digging in the garden.  She loves to learn new things and aspires to be a homesteader.

Office Manager

Dr. Jackie is my bride, and we have been a strong team at home for nearly 20 years. Now, we have the joy of teaming up together at Well Designed Functional Medicine to serve our community in improving their health and living life well.  I enjoy being in the front office, getting to know our practice members, supporting them on their health journey, and celebrating their successes.  I also enjoy working behind the scenes in the back office helping to keep everything running smoothly.  We enjoy seeking adventure outdoors with our children by experiencing new things or visiting new places.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UWL and am a Certified Health Coach through Precision Nutrition.  I went through my own health journey and found tremendous relief in learning how to help my body heal the way it was created to.  Now, I have a passion for sharing that knowledge with others and for them to experience a more fulfilled life that isn’t bound by sickness. I’m here to help you set and reach your goals, provide accountability, celebrate your wins and encourage you throughout your health journey with us.
