Lindsay Hayler is from the beautiful beach town of Wilmington, NC. She was one of the first home-educated students to graduate from Wake Forest University, and subsequently taught English as a Second Language as a Teach for America corps member to seventh graders in the Houston Independent School District.
Afterwards, she completed a Master’s in Public Health (Management, Policy and Community Health) with the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, and then completed a Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She has been a dermatology physician assistant for 17 years and is a Diplomate with the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (the premier training program for dermatology PAs).
In mid-life, Lindsay began to realize she wanted to better help her dermatology patients suffering from autoimmune and inflammatory disease discover the root causes of their issues. She began to understand that the current health care model is more of a “sick care” model (where patients are treated once they are sick, and then it is mostly symptom relief).
She is now certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner and is also a certified bioidentical hormone Biote provider. Recently she completed coursework in Integrative Dermatology, and is currently completing her certification in Functional Nutrition. Along the way, she began to conceptualize a clinic where patients could learn about disease prevention and could be assessed holistically to optimize their health, their skin, and their healing.
Uplift Wellness and Aesthetics is the fulfillment of this dream, and it is her greatest honor to practice medicine in the beautiful mountain town of Monteagle, TN perched atop the spectacular Cumberland Plateau.
