Bernard Andres, APRN, Des Plaines, IL

About Bernard Andres

My name is Bernie Andres, and I am honored to share my journey and passion for wellness with you. With 16 years of experience working in hospitals, particularly in the high-stress environment of emergency rooms, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of chronic diseases on individuals' lives. These experiences have shaped my dedication to health advocacy and functional medicine. I hold a Master's in Nursing from North Park University, which has further equipped me to provide comprehensive care. My own health challenges were a turning point in my life, leading me to discover the transformative power of functional medicine. This approach has taught me that food is more than sustenance; it is medicine for the body. Through identifying and eliminating harmful factors and providing essential nutrients, I have been able to reset my health and regain vitality. This journey underscored the deep connection between lifestyle choices, everyday stress, and overall well-being. At Advanced Practice Health Institute, our mission is to raise awareness of alternative approaches to health and wellness. We focus on optimizing function and prolonging vitality, rather than merely avoiding sickness. My goal is to make wellness accessible and affordable, offering practical, sustainable, and feasible treatment modalities.
