Transforming Lives Through
Compassionate Functional Medicine Care
Meet Dr. Adenike, NP
Dr. Adenike Okeowo’s journey to functional medicine began as a search for answers to her own health struggles. After years of dealing with chronic migraines, fatigue, and other symptoms that traditional medicine couldn’t fully address, she discovered the transformative potential of functional medicine. With a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and a Master of Science degree in Community Health Nurse Practitioner from Binghamton University, Dr. Adenike is not just a highly trained healthcare provider but also a passionate advocate for holistic healing.
Her 15 years of experience in healthcare span various settings, but it was her personal health challenges that ignited her commitment to functional medicine. Conventional treatments left her feeling unheard and frustrated, often compounding her difficulties. Through functional medicine, she found the root causes of her ailments, leading to a profound sense of relief and empowerment. Now, as a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Board-Certified Family NP, NYS Licensed Community Health NP, Board-Certified Heart Failure Nurse, Certified Holistic Nutrition Specialist, and Board-Certified Transformative Nurse Coach, she is dedicated to bringing that same sense of clarity and healing to her patients.
Dr. Adenike is trained through The School of Applied Functional Medicine, The Institute of Functional Medicine and certified through The Functional Medicine Academy, equipping her to offer a high-quality, patient-centered approach that goes beyond just treating symptoms. Her mission is to provide care that truly listens and addresses the underlying causes of health issues, empowering her patients to take control of their well-being.
When she’s not with patients, Dr. Adenike enjoys morning bike rides, neighborhood walks, and spending quality time with her loved ones, reflecting her belief in the importance of balance and self-care.

Testimonials
Sasha - Vermont
“Before I started sessions with Nikki, my life was emotional rollercoaster! I was up on the cloud 9 and I was down the next minute in the deepest hole. Nikki, helped me to find mindfulness and to even out my highs and lows. Mindfulness helped me to be in the present moment more, it helped me to enjoy the moment just as it is. Nikki helped me to realize that all I have is this moment. Nikki gently guided me to my realizations and “aha” moments were life changing. I would 100% recommend Nikki as a coach to my friends and family in need of coaching. She is really easy to get along and to just be you. I instantly felt like I knew Nikki my whole life. I also felt a lot closer to God, after our last session, the feeling of peace was amazing. Thank you Nikki! “
Mary - Ohio
“Nikki was so reliable and thorough for me to confide in. She has a great listening ear and was very comforting to me. She was great about reminding me of mindfulness and intention. I feel increased confidence, organization, and positivity from our conversations. I trust her and value my experience in talking with her. The other part of my testimonial would be that your skill at summarization is so beneficial for me to hear back what I had stated or was going through. I felt calmer and relieved with your delivery style”

“This was such a wonderful experience! After experiencing so much invalidation and minimization of my health concerns by other medical professionals, Dr. Okeowo’s support and validation of my struggles was really impactful. I was able to challenge thoughts of failure related to my diet and exercise routine and really see how hard I was working and the efforts I had been putting into getting my health on track. What I loved the most is that she gave me things to do or to add into my routine to support my health journey instead of telling me what not to do; she really helped me build healthier habits. I have a much healthier relationship with food and my body now and I am so grateful for Dr. Okeowo’s guidance to get me here. I have been able to maintain the changes we worked on and this change in my physical health has drastically improved my mental health! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“I hear you, I believe you, and I want to help you not only get well, but stay well!”

Is Functional Medicine Safe?

How Long Does It Take To See Results With Functional Medicine?
The timeline for seeing results varies depending on the individual and the complexity of their health issues. Some patients may see improvements within a few weeks, while others may require several months of treatment.
