Jessica Adamson MSN, RN, AGACNP-BC

I became a Functional nurse practitioner to help patients uncover the why behind their symptoms—because true healing happens when we address root causes, not just manage what’s visible on the surface. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and evidence-based care, and I believe that every patient deserves to be heard, believed, and understood.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner certification from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. Before entering medicine, I studied Public Health with concentrations in Disability Studies and Communication Sciences and Disorders, which shaped my understanding of how environment, communication, and access influence well-being. My early experiences teaching abroad in China and Vietnam deepened my appreciation for collaboration across cultures and different ways of understanding health.

Before joining Restorative Health Clinic, I worked in urgent care and post-acute settings, where I saw how symptom-based approaches often left patients feeling unseen and without long-term solutions. That experience reinforced my commitment to a more comprehensive model of care—one that investigates underlying infections, immune dysregulation, toxic exposures, and the body’s own adaptive responses.

 

At Restorative Health Clinic, I provide primary and acute care while collaborating closely with Dr. Stein and Dr. Simeles in the management of patients with complex chronic illnesses. Through this work, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the sensitivity, precision, and compassion required to support individuals navigating conditions such as Lyme disease, mold and environmental illness, dysautonomia and POTS, post-viral syndromes including Long COVID, and other multisystem disorders. My approach integrates conventional diagnostics with functional and integrative strategies to help patients restore health and balance at a sustainable pace.

 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I was on the front lines caring for acutely ill patients and later supporting those with long-haul symptoms. That experience strengthened my resolve to advocate for patients whose illnesses are often misunderstood or dismissed. I’ve since trained with Dr. Richard Horowitz in Healing Lyme and Co-Infections and continue to expand my evidence-based protocols to meet each patient where they are.

No matter where you are on your healing journey, my goal is to partner with you—to listen deeply, to investigate thoroughly, and to support you with honesty, empathy, and persistence. I believe that recovery begins with trust, and that belief is at the heart of how I practice medicine every day.
