BIOTE PROVIDER

I’m Angie, owner of Essential Infusions Plus. Proud wife and mama to 5 amazing teenagers! I am a board certified nurse practitioner with 20 years experience in health care, including emergency room, intensive care, hospice and palliative care, urgent care, and occupational health. The majority of my life in health care has been spent in the hospital. I continue to work full time as a hospitalist nurse practitioner in a suburban hospital at night. I have also done some legal consulting, nurse guideline writing and I teach nurse and nurse practitioner students for 3 universities across the country.

I was born and raised in Rochelle, a rural town in northern Illinois.

I know very well many of you have known me since birth, and can speak to my personal health struggles throughout my life. I really felt a calling to nursing in the 4 years I spent as a missionary in Mexico. I continue to feel a calling to give people different ways to help their lives proactively in order to live their unique purpose better, more fuller, and with more function throughout their lifespan.

I became passionate about alternative and functional medicine throughout Covid. For so many of us in healthcare, we have been seeking answers outside normal western medicine as we lived and worked through the trauma of covid, and saw the challenges with “normal healthcare”.

I wanted to start in Rochelle and the surrounding areas as there are very limited services for my community. I continue to expand my boundaries so to help as many as I can.

I have carefully and prayerfully selected a team that feels the same calling as I do. We are committed to serving you all! Check out their bios as well!

Thanks for listening! Come see us sometime!

I am excited to join this amazing team at Essential Infusions Plus. I have been a Registered nurse for 23 years. I became a nurse because of the amazing care I received from a nurse. I have always been drawn to new life. I have worked in Labor and Delivery for my entire career and am currently employed part time at Northwestern Medicines Delnor hospital.

Five years ago I started to become interested in what I was putting into my body, yes my diet. Food. I became familiar with Whole30, which focuses on removing inflammatory foods from the diet. I saw drastic changed in monthly migraines. In the past year I removed gluten from my diet and have seen great benefits in my health, such as decreased joint pain, less GI symptoms and an increase in energy. We underestimate what we put into our bodies and the short and long term effect it has on our health. You cannot put water in your gas tank and expect your car to run well.

When Angie approached me about joining the team, I was so excited to learn more about how I could assist my immune system in functioning the way God intended.

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

These last few years have really been eye opening as a health care worker. Never before have I needed to be healthy; starting with diet and exercise because these are things we can control.

So here I am, ready to help you on your health journey, maybe even help you, deliver” a new you in 2023!

God Bless,
