Meet Your Founder & Healthcare Partner
I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner with more than 17 years of healthcare experience. I began my career as a registered nurse and have practiced as a nurse practitioner since 2019. My clinical background includes primary care, internal medicine, chronic disease management, weight management, women’s wellness, functional medicine, hormone optimization, and lab interpretation.
My credentials are Keyona Gayles, APRN-FPA, MSN, NP-C. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Northern Illinois University and my Master of Science in Nursing/Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Governors State University.
I founded Elevated Health & Wellness to provide thoughtful, personalized, and accessible care for patients who want a deeper understanding of their symptoms, labs, hormones, metabolism, and overall health. My approach is lab-driven, individualized, and focused on helping patients understand what is happening in their bodies rather than simply treating isolated symptoms.
