“It takes a team.”

Our providers care deeply about their patients. They take the time to listen to and validate their patients' health concerns which allows them to ultimately get to the root cause of their symptoms. Rather than rush through patients, they spend quality time with each patient, listen to their health concerns, and work diligently to truly optimize their health.

Dr. Musnick is interested in getting to the root of underlying causes and factors that affect healing, including diet, sleep, exercise, stress, mood, GI health, brain region health, toxins, mold, hormones, infections, and electromagnetic fields (EMF). He is excellent at Orthopedic diagnosis trying to determine which tissues are causing pain, what the issue with the tissue is and what is going on in the pain processing system. He has developed a unique program to heal the brain after Concussion that is based on what actually goes on in the brain after head injury. His program integrates: diet, supplements, sleep, exercise and microcurrent and brain training to heal the brain after concussion. He also applies this to other brain based disorders including cognitive impairment and dementia. He has a special interest in autoimmune disorders and has studied Functional Immunology. He is one of the top 10 clinicians in the world with Frequency Specific Microcurrent and he teaches at Microcurrent meetings.

Dr. Musnick wants to help his patients achieve the highest level of health, vitality and function.

After his internal medicine residency in Seattle, Dr. Musnick completed a fellowship in sports medicine where he became interested in helping patients get back to optimal musculoskeletal health and eventually back to their favorite activities. He quickly learned that many areas of the body were interrelated and started learning more about nutrition, supplements, and other facets of functional medicine. Dr. Musnick has more than 24 years of experience in Functional Medicine and achieved a very high level of both experience and expertise with many health conditions. He is also the author of the book, Conditioning for Outdoor Fitness, and helped in writing textbook chapters on arthritis and concussions.

Heidi received a Master of Science in Nursing from Azusa Pacific University in 2017 and is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She has done further training with the Institute for Functional Medicine, as well as specialty training in IV therapy, ozone therapy, and prolozone therapy.

For the past several years, she has been working in the field of integrative and functional medicine helping patients with cardiometabolic dysfunction, gastrointestinal disorders, SIBO, food intolerances, acute and chronic infections, various environmental exposures, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, and hormonal imbalances. She has a strong clinical interest in helping patients with mold related illness, chronic fatigue, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Heidi believes that achieving optimal health takes a village and she is honored to be part of a dynamic interdisciplinary team at Functional Medicine of Idaho.

She transitioned from conventional OB/Gyn practice in 2019 to pursue professional goals in assisting women of all ages in their quest of optimizing health and promoting healing by identifying the root cause of symptoms.

Her interest in Functional Medicine started with her own journey to get healthier in preparation for pregnancy, and she continues to reap these rewards every day in her own life and that of her family. She provides care for women with an integrative and holistic perspective; her favorite clinical interests include fertility, natural birth, lactation, family planning/contraception, gynecologic procedures, and minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery. Dr. Hudson boasts an extremely low cesarean rate and loves partnering with local birth workers to foster the beautiful process of childbirth in a hospital. She has privileges at St. Luke's facilities.

At this time, Dr. Hudson is narrowing her practice to Functional obstetrics, preconception/fertility, and gynecologic surgery but is continuing to offer Well Woman care and other gynecological needs on a limited basis. For primary care and general functional medicine needs, please seek a consult with one of our adult functional medicine providers.

Dr. Hudson moved to Idaho in 2011 as a newlywed and has called this “honeymoon” home ever since. She describes herself as a former New Yorker, collegiate athlete, Air Force veteran, and now a crunchy mom who wants to share her journey of natural health with fellow women.

When not in the office, Dr. Hudson enjoys hiking the Boise foothills, hot springs, paleo cooking, travel, sleep, and her pets Lucy, Sunny, and June.
