Functional Pharmacy
BODY, MIND, AND SOUL
Personalized Brain & Body Health
Feel stronger, think clearer, and simplify your health plan with a pharmacist who treats you like family
I’m Janine Garcia, a Board-Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist and ReCODE 2.0 Certified Practitioner. I’m also certified to administer and score the MoCA test and hold a Certificate in Aging from UNC-Chapel Hill.
For more than 15 years I’ve helped people manage endocrine, heart, lung, and mental-health conditions in many different settings. My passion is guiding older adults to feel stronger, think clearer, and rely less on medications and supplements by combining the best of conventional and functional medicine.
After witnessing dementia’s toll on patients and families, I trained in the Bredesen Protocol so I could offer practical, compassionate support to those worried about memory loss or cognitive decline. I understand how overwhelming it can feel—and how hard parts of the protocol can be to follow—so I offer the same level of care I’d give my own parents.
Dementia is life-changing, but you’re not alone. With the right support, the brain and body can thrive at home. We’ll help you ease stress, remove obstacles, and lift your family’s quality of life.
