About Briana Rueda, Kathleen Hopkins
Dr. Briana Rueda and Dr. Kathleen Hopkins practice integrative and functional medicine, focusing on root-cause diagnostics, lifestyle medicine, and nutrition. They aim to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and are known for helping patients who feel dismissed or misdiagnosed. Dr. Rueda experienced the pitfalls of conventional medicine both as a patient and a practitioner, which led her to integrative medicine. She believes in a strong doctor-patient relationship built on respect and empathy. Dr. Hopkins integrates her medical training with nutrition, microbiome, mindfulness, movement, and connection to spirit and community. Dr. Rueda is board certified in family medicine, a Functional Medicine Certified Professional-Medical, a Fellow in Anti-Aging Metabolic Medicine, and a member of the Medical Academy of Pediatrics & Special Needs. She had Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, SIBO, and cervicogenic headaches. Dr. Hopkins is double board-certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine, an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, and a Fellow of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine. They practice at Olos, where patients are invited to visit the farm for in-person care and experience the rhythm of a space rooted in food-as-medicine, community, and whole-person wellness. They offer both virtual and in-person visits. In-person visits with Dr. Rueda are at her home office in Excelsior, MN, as well as at the farm in Wisconsin. In-person visits with Dr. Hopkins are by appointment only at the WI farm. They specialize in complex, chronic conditions that require a deeper kind of care.
