My family is so forunate to have found her.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience with Chip for microneedling! She was so professional, gentle, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. My skin already feels so smooth and refreshed. I highly recommend her! ❤️Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chip really took the time to deep dive into my labs and look beyond just my symptoms to help uncover the root causes of my leg swelling, anxiety, and fatigue. I finally felt like someone was connecting the dots and looking at the whole picture. I also see her for aesthetics, and she is amazing with lasers! She has a very natural approach, and I always feel refreshed without looking overdone. Highly recommend Chip for both functional medicine and aesthetics!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so glad I found Chip! I originally started seeing her because I was dealing with some stomach issues, low energy and changes in my mood. She took the time to really go through my GI-MAP and Function Health labs with me, explain what was going on and put together a gut protocol based on my results. I’ve already noticed such a difference in how I feel, my mood is stabilized, and my gut issues are feeling so much better. I also see her for aesthetics and absolutely love my results. She is hands down the best Botox injector I’ve ever had, it literally gives me the best lift! She’s also amazing with lasers and I love that she never overdoes anything. I always still look like myself, just refreshed. I genuinely can’t recommend Chip enough for both functional medicine and aesthetics!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Experience in Both Aesthetics & Functional Health I’ve had such a wonderful experience as a patient at Wellness With Chip, receiving care in both their aesthetic and functional health services. What I appreciate most is that they truly take a whole-person approach and genuinely get to know their patients. On the aesthetics side, I’ve been very impressed with the level of knowledge, precision, and attention to detail. The injection techniques are explained thoroughly, including proper placement, technique, dosing, and what to expect throughout the process. I always feel comfortable asking questions and confident that I’m in knowledgeable hands. The functional health side has been just as impressive. Their knowledge of functional health, hormones, nutrition, gut health, metabolic health, and overall wellness is exceptional. I appreciate that they don’t simply focus on treating a symptom—they take the time to look deeper, understand potential underlying factors, and create a personalized approach based on your individual needs. Being a patient in both areas has really allowed me to experience how well the two sides complement each other. I feel cared for from the inside out, and I truly appreciate the education, individualized attention, and genuine care I receive at every visit. I highly recommend Wellness With Chip to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and personalized approach to both aesthetics and functional health. You can tell that they genuinely care about helping their patients look and feel their best!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My favorite new clinic in all of Orange County! I’ve been seeing Chip and her colleagues for functional medicine and skin care for years and they’ve both helped and educated me along the way. Highly recommend 😊Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a wonderful experience with NP Chip!

I’ve been very happy with my skincare and laser treatments, and I appreciate how carefully she explains everything and tailors the treatments to my skin’s needs. Highly recommend Chip if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping you achieve beautiful, healthy-looking skin!

Please describe how you felt prior to working with Chip and the Functional First Team. What prompted you to seek help?
My limbs felt heavy and I was worried about my heart health along with being pre-diabetic. I was also experiencing bloating, brain fog and fatigue. I was already trying the Keto diet and was not entirely sure what I was doing, so there was a concern about that. I had heard about functional doctors and wanted to give that a try.
What wins did you experience due to working with Chip Nguyen and the team? Please be specific. How did Chip, Vanessa, or Brittany help you on your health journey? (symptom changes, mindset shifts, etc)
All concerned areas have improved drastically. My heart health - blood panels have taken a 180-degree turn. My limbs no longer feel heavy. Gut health is improved...no more bloating. Much improved mental clarity and energy. My physical body feels looks and feels stronger. I just turned 64 and feel like I'm 35. It was great working with Chip and the team. Chip was able to pin point specific issues to address and provide the knowledge and action steps necessary to affect positive changes. Vanessa was a great help in answering my questions toward my new diet and offering solutions that worked. Brittany was a great help in keeping me motivated and helping to reduce my stress levels.

First thing was the capillary issue on my legs. After about just one month of supplements and better diet, the issue completely disappeared. Now, 8 months later, still perfect. Second was Chip figuring out that I might have H-Pylori. I had to take a daily pill to prevent heartburn. I'd been taking this medication of at least a couple of years. After 14 days of antibiotics, the H-Pylori was gone, heartburn gone, daily pill gone. Third thing was stomach issues. Stomach is much improved and still improving with the current group of supplements and better diet.

What wins did you experience due to working with Chip Nguyen & Vanessa Van Der Linden and the team? Please be specific. How did Chip, Vanessa, or Brittany help you on your health journey? (symptom changes, mindset shifts, etc)
wanted to share a few wins since working together. The most obvious one is sleep. My average sleep score is now around 85 on my Oura, which is kind of amazing for me. I still have nights where I don’t sleep great, but I also now occasionally sleep 8 hours, which honestly just never happened for years. Overall, sleep feels like a huge win.
Even bigger than sleep, though, is my overall resilience. It feels really good to be in a place where we’re working to optimize instead of putting out fires. We’re improving things, and I have more goals and ideas I want to get ahead of, rather than constantly reacting to problems. That shift alone feels huge.
For example, this month (since I’m not traveling), I set a goal of 10 CrossFit classes and 10 yoga classes, and I’m halfway through the month and on track. That’s on top of playing pickleball, golfing, and regular walking. I’m honestly thrilled to be able to manage this level of activity and feel good doing it.
I also wanted to share some body composition data since I know you like objective measures. Over the past three months, my weight went up slightly from 143.5 to 145.5, but what feels more meaningful is that my muscle mass increased from 58.6 to 60 pounds, and my body fat percentage dipped slightly from 25.7% to 25.5%. I’m claiming this as a win—1.4 pounds of muscle at 58 years old! Who says you have to lose a percentage of muscle every year?
This really feels like the result of the adjustments we’ve made together and the support from you, Chip, and Vanessa. I’m very grateful and excited to keep building from here.
