FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER
Jen Hunter, FNP-C

For more than two decades, I have dedicated my career to helping people improve their health,
confidence, and overall quality of life. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in
hormone therapy and health optimization, I combine my clinical experience with a functional,
integrative, and longevity-focused approach to care. I look beyond individual symptoms to
understand how hormones, metabolism, nutrition, lifestyle, and preventive care work together to
influence how a person feels and functions.

I am also a BioTE Certified Provider, Laser Safety Officer, and Certified Cosmetic Injector. I have
completed extensive postgraduate continuing medical education in hormone therapy, gut health,
metabolic wellness, aesthetic medicine, and health optimization, allowing me to develop thoughtful,
individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s needs and goals.

My goal is to help patients restore vitality, feel confident, and take a proactive role in their long-
term health and wellness. I am currently working toward advanced certification in anti-aging
medicine to continue expanding my knowledge and the comprehensive care I provide.

Kathryn “KD” Elliott, MHA, BSN-RN

KD brings more than twenty years of experience in medicine to every appointment. She believes
that great nursing care is rooted in trust, mutual understanding, and the prioritization of safety.

She is a Magna Cum Laude BSN graduate with a master’s in health administration, licensed in
multiple states as a registered nurse (RN). KD practices within her scope under the oversight of a
board-certified medical director, providing hydration, aesthetic, and concierge nursing services, both
in-clinic and through mobile visits.

KD completed her clinical training within the emergency room and med-surgical units of Banner
University Medical Center in Phoenix, a level 1 trauma center. She also spent over a decade helping
progress multiple gene therapy candidates to treat rare diseases through clinical trials. During that
time, she supported and directly monitored over 400 surgical cases across top academic centers in
the US and abroad. That background shows up in how she works: methodical, evidence based, and
focused on building a plan that fits your goals.

Outside the clinic, KD lives in Mesa with her husband and two children. She spends a lot of time on
the sidelines watching her daughter play national club volleyball and her son play club soccer. She
grew up locally and graduated from Arizona State University.
