Today we’d like to introduce you to Sierra Garrett.
Hi Sierra, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As a young girl, I knew I wanted to become a nurse. At a young age, I can recall finding joy in helping others, and as I grew older, I loved to see people thriving and living their best life. After getting into the healthcare, it did not take long to know that I had to do something to change the health care system in order to impact the lives of the patients long term. I decided to go back to school for my Nurse Practitioner to do just that. There were many obstacles I had to overcome to be where I am today professionally and personally, and I give God all the glory. The story of my life is one of redemption because of grace, mercy, and faith. I am who I am today because of God the father through my lord Jesus Christ.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The path to achieving your goals will always require sacrifices, challenges, and struggles. Anytime you step out of the “norm” or outside of your comfort zone, you expose yourself to vulnerability. For me, it has been a new challenge to be responsible for other aspects of business outside of just being a clinician. But I recognize every new area of opportunity is another open door to grow professionally and personally towards a better version of myself. It has been crucial to stay focused on my goal, stay within my niche, and consistently look for avenues to network and making connections.
I have noted in the most recent opportunities of directing a Non-profit called Joy of My Life & Partnering as the Lead Clinician with Remedy Healthcare, the biggest obstacle to overcome is the limitation we place on ourselves.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner that has been trained in Functional and integrative Medicine. This means I am focused on the prevention of disease, BUT if there is a dis-ease, dis-order, or problematic symptom present in the body, I focus on treating the root cause of the problem. An example of this is high blood pressure. If a patient has high blood pressure that requires medication(s), I do not just order the medication and send you on your way. Because Blood pressure medication, though helpful, is depleting specific areas of the body (i.e., CoQ10). In addition to necessary medication, I would tailor a specific supplement program to support the body while evaluating and addressing the underlying causes of high blood pressure (i.e., hormone imbalance, Vitamin/Mineral deficiency, gut dysfunction, poor quality sleep, nutrition, arterial inflammation etc.).
The focus of our practice is hormone-related dysfunction and imbalance. Most of us are aware that hormones impact things such as fertility, menstrual cycles, sex drive, and weight, but most individuals do not know that hormones also impact areas such as focus, energy, heart and artery health, stress response, and the rate of aging.
I am best known for my compassion, transparency, and clear medical explanations.
I believe there are three crucial things that set me apart:
The first and most important is that I pray with and for my patients. Relying on the Holy Spirit to guide me with each patient.
The second is that with my patients optimal is my goal, not just to reach “normal.” This is important because often normal is where disease and dysfunction live. This is why people are walking around feeling sick, yet are told everything is normal.
The third is patient convenience. I bring our services such as Bio-identical Hormone Replacement directly to clients’ homes/offices and conduct visits via Telemedicine.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
First, I give all the glory to the lord. I would also not be where are I am today without my dad and mom, my seven siblings, and my two sons-my greatest cheerleaders. My dad is an entrepreneur and business owner. My parent always taught me how to see life differently through the eyes of the lord. My dad showed me how to manage business and manage finances. He is a key player in my success not just in business, but as a strong woman. My mom showed me what it means to be superwomen and how to navigate all the demands of life while being an attentive mother and while maintaining a loving home. My siblings have always encouraged and supported me in all my endeavors. My two boys are my motivators and always celebrate with me in all our victories, no matter how small. Also, I have to shout out the Elite Nurse Practitioner, Justin has been an invaluable and resource.
