Are you tired of one-size-fits-all healthcare solutions that leave you feeling unheard and unwell? At Mortal Healing in Henderson, NV, we understand that true wellness is a journey—one that may require both natural and conventional tools along the way.
Dr. Matzinger champions what she calls the *”marriage of conventional and functional medicine”—*an integrative approach to healing that honors the body’s natural wisdom while recognizing that some individuals may need both holistic and conventional therapies to reach their wellness goals. Whether that means uncovering root causes through advanced testing, crafting nutrition and supplement plans, or writing prescriptions and coordinating care with specialists when appropriate, we honor your body’s intelligence while providing the care it truly needs. If you’re ready to explore a personalized path toward lasting wellness, you’ve come to the right place.
Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than merely treating symptoms. This systems-based model recognizes that every individual is unique—and so their path to healing should be too. By exploring how different bodily systems interact, functional medicine creates deeply personalized treatment plans that go beyond a single solution.
At Mortal Healing, we build on this foundation through Dr. Matzinger’s signature integrative model. While our approach prioritizes natural therapies and lifestyle shifts, we also understand that certain cases call for the use of conventional tools. For example, Dr. Matzinger may write prescriptions when clinically appropriate or collaborate with trusted specialists to ensure comprehensive support. These tools are never used as a default but are carefully incorporated to serve your overall healing.
Our journey begins with a comprehensive intake process that dives deep into your medical history, lifestyle, and health concerns. We utilize advanced lab testing to gather critical data about your body’s functioning. This thorough assessment allows us to identify imbalances and dysfunctions that may be contributing to your symptoms—setting the stage for a tailored, whole-person approach to your health.
At Mortal Healing, we recognize that gut health is central to overall well-being. Often called the “second brain,” the gut plays a crucial role in mood regulation, metabolism, and pain management. Our functional medicine model emphasizes gut-first healing, addressing any digestive issues and promoting a balanced microbiome to support your physical and emotional health.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of our approach. We collaborate with you to develop personalized dietary and supplement plans that meet your unique needs and preferences. By focusing on nutrient-dense foods and targeted support, we aim to nourish your body and activate its natural healing capacity.
Hormonal imbalances and nervous system dysregulation can deeply affect quality of life. Our treatment plans primarily emphasize natural strategies, but when appropriate, may include conventional tools such as prescription support. We carefully assess what your body needs to restore balance, supporting you in feeling more grounded, resilient, and well-regulated.
To enhance your healing, we incorporate therapies such as IV nutrient infusions, lipid therapy, infrared sauna, and—when clinically appropriate—ketamine-assisted care. In some cases, treatment may also include writing prescriptions or coordinating with other medical providers. Each therapy is chosen based on your personal health map and goals, blending innovation with individualized care.

Each plan is designed to empower you with a strategy that reflects your body’s needs and your personal preferences.
