Linda Goggin MD, affectionately known as ?Sunny? to those around her, considers putting the ?fun? into Functional Medicine her prime objective. During a time when everyone is giving advice on ?what? to do, Sunny wants to help people with the ?how.? Starting out as a hospital volunteer, then as a nurse?s aide, then as a registered nurse, Dr. Goggin went to medical school at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. After all these years, she still would do it again in a heartbeat. Today, Dr. Goggin hones her ability to motivate and guide daily by attempting to subtly manipulate her husband and three kids, as well as caring for patients at Bellingham Functional Medicine, where she collaborates with Functional Nu-tritionist powerhouse and author Tom Malterre, MS, CN (The Elimination Diet, Nourishing Meals). She is also the owner and medical director of Ideal Health Bellingham, which provides medical weight loss guidance and primary care. A pioneer on the edge of medicine, Dr. Goggin created the first Direct Primary Care Practice in Bellingham, Washington where she remains passionate about empowering clients to claim their health vision and race toward it with wild abandon. She thinks creating health is a fantastically cool game once you figure out where to aim your arrow, point, and shoot. So get out your bow and let?s go!
