Healthcare That Looks for the Why, Not Just the Prescription
At Creating Health and Wellness, functional medicine Nurse Practitioner Barrett Chaffin helps patients improve metabolic health, hormone balance, gut health, and long-term wellness. This is thoughtful, investigative care for people who want answers, not quick fixes.
You’ve done what you were told.
For many patients, conventional healthcare focuses on managing symptoms rather than understanding why those symptoms exist in the first place. That can leave you feeling stuck, dismissed, or dependent on short-term solutions.
And yet, you still don’t feel like yourself.
You went to appointments.
You followed treatment plans.
You took the medications.
A Root-Cause Approach to Health
Functional medicine asks different questions. Instead of “What medication treats this symptom?” We ask, “What’s driving this imbalance, and how do we address it at the source?”
At Creating Health and Wellness, care is:
- Root-cause focused, not symptom-driven
- Personalized, not one-size-fits-all
- Collaborative, not rushed
This approach allows for deeper insight, clearer education, and more intentional care decisions.
Experienced. Curious. Patient-Focused.
Barrett Chaffin has been a Nurse Practitioner since 2005, with years of experience in orthopedics before transitioning into functional medicine.
After seeing firsthand how often patients were treated for symptoms without answers, Barrett pursued advanced training in functional medicine to better understand the “why” behind chronic health concerns.
Today, he works with patients who want to be active participants in their care; people ready to slow down, look deeper, and create a more sustainable path to health.

Hormone Optimization
EVEXIPEL® Hormone Pellet Therapy
Consistent, long-lasting hormone balance — without the daily guesswork.
Creating Health & Wellness is proud to offer EVEXIPEL® hormone pellet therapy as part of our functional medicine approach to hormonal balance. EVEXIPEL pellets are small, bioidentical hormone pellets inserted just beneath the skin — typically in the hip area — during a brief, minimally invasive in-office procedure. Once in place, they release a steady, consistent level of hormones over several months, closely mimicking the body's natural hormonal rhythm.
Unlike creams, patches, or daily pills, pellet therapy eliminates the peaks and valleys of other delivery methods, providing stable hormone levels that support how you feel day to day. As an EVEXIPEL® Certified Provider, Barrett Chaffin, NP, brings precision and personalized dosing to every patient's hormone optimization journey.
Creating Health and Wellness is a good fit for patients who:
Want to understand the root cause of ongoing symptoms
Feel underserved or rushed in traditional medical settings
Value education and collaborative decision-making
Are ready for a more intentional approach to health
