Meet Dr. Ana Engelhardt

Dr. Kristiana (Ana) Engelhardt graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences in 2019. After college, she moved across the country to Arizona to pursue her medical education at Sonoran University, which she completed in 2023. She then moved back to her home state, and got licensed in Connecticut!

Dr. Engelhardt values individualized healthcare, recognizing that the typical “one size fits all” approach does not work for most people. Her goal in caring for her patients is creating custom treatment plans that incorporate Eastern and Western medical care that are approachable and accessible to each patient. She hopes that by working together, each one of her patients can regain control of their own health and achieve optimal wellness.

Some conditions Dr. Engelhardt focuses on include PMS, PCOS, menstrual irregularities, infertility, as well as various GI concerns such as IBS, IBD, SIBO, gas/bloating and food intolerances. She hopes to find the root cause of your health concerns and believes in the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the opportunity. She grew up playing competitive tennis and in her free time, Dr. Ana now loves to attend pilates classes, hike, bake, and spend time with her family and pets.

Fun Facts About Me •

My family is from Serbia and I used to spend every summer there as a kid.

I speak fluent Serbian, which was the first language I learned despite growing up in the U.S.

In my free time I love to cook and bake. If I didn’t go to medical school, I probably would have given culinary school a shot!

My favorite cuisine is Mediterranean.

I played tennis competitively throughout my childhood up until college.

Now my favorite forms of exercise are pilates, barre, and walking my dog.
