Integrative and Functional Medicine Clinician

For more than 40 years, Judith Kaplan has helped people achieve better health through evidence-informed, innovative, and highly personalized medical care.

Combining the strengths of modern medicine with cutting-edge Functional Medicine, she partners with her patients to identify and address the underlying factors affecting their health to reduce the risk of disease, restore function, and promote lifelong wellness.

After attending more than 3,600 births in hospitals, birth centers, and home settings, Judith expanded her practice beyond pregnancy and childbirth to address the hormonal, metabolic, gynecologic, and chronic health conditions that affect women from adolescence through healthy aging.

Today, she is recognized for providing highly personalized care for health concerns that are complex, persistent, or have not fully responded to conventional treatment.

While women’s health remains at the heart of her work, Judith now helps men seeking personalized Functional Medicine support for metabolic health, weight management, physical and cognitive vitality, emotional resilience, spiritual well-being, healthy aging, and longevity.

Known for combining decades of clinical experience with an investigative, root-cause approach, Judith helps patients find answers when symptoms persist, diagnoses remain unclear, or conventional treatment has not resolved their concerns.

How it all started

 

As a private practice CNM in Brooklyn in 1995, I began to research the many hormonal imbalances that plagued many of my clients, especially PCOS which causes infertility. Because most doctors were not holistic minded and tended to shy away from the mysterious female hormone system, these problems were usually neglected unless immediately life-threatening.

With a midwife’s belief in the inherent wisdom of body systems, I began to explore root cause solutions long before holistic approaches to hormone imbalances became popular. Research on female obesity and PCOS was just beginning to emerge from organizations such as the American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists, but unforrtunately it takes years for research to enter mainstream practice. Decades later it is still remarkably difficult to find a healthcare provider that deals comprehensively with hormonal and metabolic disorders. The media is also flooded with confusing claims, costly products and unproven remedies, so women’s problems are often neglected or inappropriately treated.

Seeking root causes and innovative solutions for problems such as PCOS, hypothyroidism, infertility, hirsutism, obesity and other hormonal imbalances has always been my professional and personal mission, due to the havoc and suffering that these problems caused, and because most of these problems eventually spiral out of control and result in life-endangering illness such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, infertility.

My conservative and economical approach has always been based on cutting edge solid medical research which I am continuously seeking, and on proven therapies- many holistic and natural.

You deserve pragmatic, economical, and effective solutions.
