About Dr. Tanya
Empowering Wellness Through Personalized Functional Medicine Solutions
Meet Dr. Tanya Schrobilgen DMSc, PA-C, FMACP
I’m Tanya Schrobilgen, a Doctor of Medical Science and a Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C), specializing in Functional Medicine. My journey into this field wasn’t just a career choice—it was a personal mission fueled by my own struggles and a deep desire to change the way we approach health.
At Ageless Functional Medicine, I bring my expertise and empathy to help you navigate your unique health journey. I understand the frustration of being told you’re fine when you don’t feel fine. My mission is to listen, understand, and provide you with the personalized care you deserve. We focus on restoring your energy, rebalancing your hormones, and helping you lose weight—not with one-size-fits-all solutions, but with a plan tailored just for you.
Why Trust Dr. Tanya?
For 13 years, I worked in Emergency Medicine, leading the largest post-graduate training program for PAs in the country and speaking at numerous health conferences. I went into the ER to save lives. However, I discovered that only a small percentage of the cases were true emergencies; the rest were chronic illnesses that could have been prevented. People were suffering needlessly, brushed off by a reactive healthcare system that waits until you’re sick to take action.
I’ve been where you are—tired, frustrated, and feeling unheard. As an athlete and honors student, I knew the sudden decline in my health wasn’t just “getting old.” I was constantly fatigued, battling brain fog, and gut issues despite my efforts. The medications prescribed came with side effects, and the generic advice to “eat healthier” and “exercise more” wasn’t cutting it. I had to become my own health advocate, delving into the world of biohacking and functional medicine. Through personalized testing and targeted interventions, I reclaimed my energy and vitality, feeling stronger than I did in my 20s.

"I believe in proactive wellness — extending not just your lifespan but your healthspan. Imagine waking up energized, clear-headed, and ready to take on the day, every day. Picture yourself thriving, not just surviving, at any age. That’s the life I want to help you achieve."
- Tanya Schrobilgen DMSc, PA-C, FMACP
When I’m not working with patients, you’ll find me traveling the world, scuba diving, snowboarding, or piloting drones. I love adventure—whether it’s skydiving or diving with sharks—and I bring that same passion for discovery and optimization to my practice. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I understand the challenges of finding what works for you and am committed to helping you find your path to optimal health.
