As a little girl, Dr. Jill Valerius knew she wanted to be a doctor. She told her second grade teacher that was precisely what she was going to do. Jill spent the first four years of her medical career working as a Certified Athletic Trainer with high school and college athletes. Empowering people drove her to complete her medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1998. She completed her residency in family medicine in Duluth, Minnesota. After residency, she worked in several emergency room and urgent care centers prior to moving to Alaska in 2003. Here she practiced full scope family medicine.

She quickly realized that a more holistic approach to medicine was needed to really help her patients achieve optimal health. Training in Functional Medicine was her real ‘aha’ moment in practicing medicine, and she looks forward to helping you reach your health, lifestyle, and activity goals. It is never too late to start living in health.
