With over 20 years of experience in the medical field, Ida Bell is a seasoned Nurse Practitioner

who has worked in both hospital settings and medical practice. She is committed to providing

sustainable, patient-centered care through her practice, RFK Functional Medicine (Ready For

Knowledge). Having completed over 200 hours of Functional Medicine education, Ida addresses

the root causes of patients’ symptoms, drawing inspiration from her parents and grandparents’

struggles with hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. RFK Functional Medicine empowers patients

with the knowledge and education to take control of their health, unlike conventional approaches

that primarily focus on symptom treatment.

RFK Functional Medicine was born out of Ida’s belief that patients are Ready for Knowledge—

the knowledge and empowerment needed to take charge of their own health. Through her

practice, Ida saw a clear need for a healthcare model that not only treats symptoms but also

educates patients on how they can address the root causes of their conditions. She recognized

that many individuals are seeking a more proactive, informed approach to their health, and RFK

was created to meet that demand. Her approach is centered on clear, tangible results that help

clients achieve lasting health improvements.

When she’s not helping patients, Ida enjoys spending her free time outdoors, gardening, fishing,

and playing fetch with her dogs—activities that help her stay grounded and connected to nature.
