Meet Betsy
Betsy Shor is a progressive functional medicine provider who also has over a decade of experience working as a physician assistant in primary care. She employs a unique combination of modalities in her work as a result of her diverse educational background: the most current advancements in the field of functional and nutritional medicine, traditional allopathic medicine when appropriate or requested, and emotional coaching using principles of positive psychology, behavior change science, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). The synergy of these approaches enables Betsy to help her patients not only know what to do, but also do what they know.
Betsy is able to help patients create profound and lasting health transformations by identifying and treating the root cause of their physical and emotional unwellness and then helping them become actionable with high-level solution-oriented coaching and accountability. Betsy is very medically open-minded and happy to collaborate with your care team (PCP, specialists, therapists, alternative healthcare providers, and family members) to help you not only treat disease but create lasting wellness.
Betsy invests a tremendous amount of energy in her own health and hopes to infuse others with the same zest for self-care. She is the mother of two delightful girls, Mela and Jovie, and is married to her best friend, Ben, who is also her best coach. In her free time she enjoys running with her dog on the Charles River, hiking, and cycling (a passion which started at age 15 when she rode her bike 4000 miles across the US).
