With over 25 years of diverse experience in the medical field, Susan Federico founded Balanced Health in 2022, fueled by her passion for helping individuals restore their health. She is committed to uncovering the root causes of their symptoms, enabling them to achieve lasting results and feel better.
After graduating with her Nurse Practitioner degree from Georgetown University, Susan worked as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner in the OB/GYN setting, with the hopes of enhancing the quality of life for both men and women. After finding that her ability to care for patients was limited within the traditional healthcare system, she made the leap to retraining in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, functional wellness and integrative care. This decision was also driven by Susan’s healing of her own personal health challenges through functional medicine. She is trained in the functional medicine wellness principles of hormone balancing, thyroid management, gut health optimization, and weight management through metabolic balancing.
She loves watching the joy return to her patients as they get back to feeling like themselves again after being told that they “just have to deal with” the changes that come with hormonal imbalance and decline. Her mission is to change the narrative and empower her patients to redefine their health and start living their best life.

Specializing in our Men’s Health and Wellness program, Meghan focuses on optimizing wellness and hormone health, particularly through functional medicine for low testosterone and related conditions. Her patient-centered care and commitment to continuous learning make her a valuable asset to our practice as she helps guide patients to achieve balanced, sustainable health.
