Dr. Halloran grew up in the Chicago suburbs, receiving her BS in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. She went on to complete her Doctorate in Chiropractic at the University of Western States in Portland, OR while concurrently receiving her MS in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. Following graduation, Dr. Halloran completed a one-year Integrated Clinical Residency within the VA Connecticut Healthcare System, as well as a two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Yale University. Dr. Halloran continues to work full-time within the VA Boston Healthcare System as a chiropractic physician with a focus on optimizing health through movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress management in addition to manual therapies.

Dr. Halloran found her way to functional medicine through her own personal challenges. Growing up, she had debilitating menstrual symptoms, which often resulted in the school nurse sending her home sick almost monthly. The only options she was provided through the standard medical model included high dose anti-inflammatories, birth control and exploratory laparoscopy for endometriosis. It wasn’t until she was working through her functional medicine program that she discovered food and environmental triggers being the root cause. After a few years of focused lab testing and diet and lifestyle modifications, Dr. Halloran had her first pain free cycle. This journey inspired her to start her own, small private practice to help others in similar situations. No matter if it is gut dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, sub-fertility, or general fatigue, her goal is to help you, and your family, optimize your health for the long-term.
