Alicja Sundblade
Alicja graduated with her Master’s degree in Nursing for Family Nurse Practitioner in 2013 from UNC-Charlotte and maintains FNP certification with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She spent the first 10 years as a nurse practitioner working in internal medicine and has always had a passion for preventative wellness and education on diet and lifestyle changes to improve health holistically.
Over the years she has become more frustrated with how the system works, a “pill for every ill” and the focus being on disease management with little support from insurance when it comes to disease prevention and overall wellness. In recent years Alicja has become more disheartened with lack of hormone support for women in their third and fourth decades dealing with hormonal shifts.
They are told everything looks fine while their bodies are screaming they aren’t. She found functional medicine in a quest to fix her own issues and decided this was the path to continue on as it aligned with her desire to promote wellness and take a holistic approach addressing all aspects of one’s health/body. She is married with two young children, active in her church community, and a recent lover of yoga!
Testimonials
Megan D.
Really enjoyed my first appointment with Alicja Sundblade, FNP-C. Starting with a new healthcare provider can be scary, but she immediately put me at ease and provided high-quality care. She asked in-depth questions, listened, and at no point did I feel rushed. I am happy to have found a great care provider!

If you’re looking for something more than what “traditional” medical care offers, I highly recommend finding a good functional medicine provider like Alicja. Holistic care by a trusted provider might be the thing that finally helps you find balance within your body! Alicja is incredibly thorough and compassionate. She is my most trusted health care provider. Even before she had her functional medicine certification, she always had a holistic approach to her treatment plans. At one point I was taking multiple over the counter meds and a prescription medication for some GI issues. After experiencing some unpleasant side effects, I talked to both my GI doctor and Alicja about weaning off of those. After a few months, I was able to come off all my GI meds and now I only occasionally take TUMS!
Samantha M.
Alicja has been, hands down, my most trusted and reliable medical provider for years. Not only does she care deeply for her patients, she takes the time to thoroughly understand problems and discuss successful treatment plans. I am thrilled to learn she is expanding into the functional medicine field to further her available services and treat issues at the heart of the matter. I can’t wait to see all that Be Well Functional Medicine has to offer!
