--- title: | Heather Bertolero description: Bio Meet Heather, Founder of Teleios Functional Wellness Heather Bertolero is the founder of Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC and a board-certified nurse practitioner with a deep passion for helping individuals feel their best—physically, mentally, and hormonally. She began her career in 2008, specializing in dermatology at a high-volume private practice in New Jersey. There, she served not only as a dermatology-certified nurse practitioner but also as the Director of Nursing for the practice’s surgical center. Early in her career, Heather quickly recognized how much lifestyle, nutrition, and stress influence long-term health outcomes. That insight led her down the path of functional medicine—a journey that has spanned more than a decade of advanced training in hormone optimization, longevity medicine, and root-cause healing. Today, Heather brings her expertise to Teleios Functional Wellness, a virtual and hybrid practice designed to support individuals seeking personalized care for hormone balance, metabolic health, chronic fatigue, gut dysfunction, and healthy aging. Her approach is grounded in science, compassion, and the belief that the body is designed to heal when given the right support. As a wife, mom, and health enthusiast herself, Heather practices what she preaches. She’s committed to her own wellness journey and passionate about showing others that optimal health is within reach—regardless of age or stage of life. --- [Skip to content](https://blog.teleioswellness.com/blog/author/heather-bertolero#main-content) ![](https://blog.teleioswellness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teleios-Final-Logo-Light-Background%20(1)-1.png?width=1046&height=279&name=Teleios-Final-Logo-Light-Background%20(1)-1.png)Homepage [Book Now](https://www.optimantra.com/optimus/patient/patientaccess/servicesall?pid=QXFRU09uQXRKYnNJdjdRMkhDbnNJdz09&lid=YmJ2eDNvWnlmdkE3SVFLL3JyNjUrZz09) [Book Now](https://www.optimantra.com/optimus/patient/patientaccess/servicesall?pid=QXFRU09uQXRKYnNJdjdRMkhDbnNJdz09&lid=YmJ2eDNvWnlmdkE3SVFLL3JyNjUrZz09) # Teleios Functional Wellness Blog ### Expert insights on hormones, sleep, metabolism, and wellness to help you restore balance, energy, and long-term health. --- --- Privacy Policy · Legal · © 2025.
