About Karen Hanson
Karen Hanson is the nurse practitioner behind Essential Health in Madison, Wisconsin, which she founded after more than 25 years in healthcare. She describes having been frustrated by a system that prioritises treating disease over promoting true health, and built the practice as a more personalised, boutique approach to wellness. Her named focus areas are functional medicine, anti-aging, weight loss and skin rejuvenation. The practice describes her as an expert on thyroid, with stated experience in hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves disease. Her process centres on listening, analysing lab results and in-depth testing to create a customised wellness plan.
