Meet our founder
Terri Litty, MD, MPH, DipACLM
Dr Litty is a Board Certified Family and Lifestyle Medicine practitioner with a passion for functional medicine and getting to the root cause of illness. With over 20 years experience, including 15 years as a Chief Physician Executive at Eskenazi Health and most recently at the Logan Institute for Health and Wellness, she has had the privilege of working with patients from all walks of life. She has developed a passion for being the guide to patient’s path to wellness using genetics as a foundation to personalized medicine.
After spending 4 years in southern Africa treating families living with HIV and Tuberculosis, she returned to the United States with a fire and a renewed passion for the medically underserved. Realizing that people have an amazing ability to overcome adversity and illness if given the knowledge and the tools, she began her journey into root cause and lifestyle medicine.
Her interest in functional medicine piqued further when faced with her own medical illness. She sought care from Dr. Kevin Logan who found the root cause of her illness, recommended treatment and changed the course of her life and career.
Dr Litty’s faith is the foundation of all that she does. She believes that we are all created uniquely by God and have a divine purpose to fulfill. She believes her purpose is to help guide people into wellness and healing so they may live life to the fullest and fulfill their purpose.
