Jessica Herzog MD
FAAP ABOIM
Dr. Jessica Herzog is a leader and teacher in the field of integrative and functional medicine. She is board certified in Integrative Medicine and her unique philosophy combines ancient health principles with cutting-edge modern technologies to achieve the best outcomes for her patients. She serves on the medical board of two international health and wellness companies, including doTERRA, the largest essential oil company in the world. She’s the founder of Blue Pebble Health, an integrative and functional medicine center, which focuses on Foundational Functional Medicine, a term she coined to describe this back to basics approach. She is also founder of Lux Blanc a forward-thinking supplement company, built around Luxidine the most unique ionic form of iodine and a halide removal protocol. She is a red light therapy site owner of Light Lounge, a full body red light therapy center next door to her medical practice.
Dr Herzog’s mission is to teach medical professionals and her clients how to awaken to a deeper sense of wellness by uncovering what’s holding them back and provide them tools for their healing journey. This sense of stuckness might be partly physical, mental, or emotional. Her team of natural-minded practitioners specialize in recovery from chronic and difficult to diagnose situations such as (but not limited to) chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, neurologic disorders, digestive concerns, and hormone imbalances by focusing on optimizing mitochondrial function and energy to all levels as well as providing foundational nutrients and detoxifying programs. She has taught at the Advanced FSM Conference, and is a core faculty for the Optimal Longevity Academy. She routinely travels for teaching and speaking engagements to teach other practitioners about her client programs.
Dr. Herzog is dual board-certified and completed her undergraduate degree, medical doctorate, and pediatric residency at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD. During her studies, she participated in research teams at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD and the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. She started her career as a pediatric hospitalist, serving in the Emergency room, Labor and Delivery and Pediatric in-patient wards in Maryland, Utah, and Pennsylvania.
Early in her career she saw the disconnection between the modern "healthcare" or dis-ease care system and the healthy eating and holistic lifestyle she tried to live with her family. Dr. Herzog turned to Functional Medicine and root-cause healing began when she experienced her own health challenges with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and multiple chemical sensitivities. She was frustrated and saddened from the lack of answers she received in the conventional medical system. This shifted her to a root cause investigative mindset with her own health. Another world of wellness opened up to her. The body can heal with the right tools! Now she enjoys optimal health and vitality. She brought this healing philosophy to her practice over 10 years ago, and now serves mostly adults with chronic illnesses.
Dr. Herzog whole-heartedly practices what she teaches, striving for the optimal balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness for her and her husband and six children. She is from the East Coast and currently lives in Utah where she and her family enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle including skiing, biking and hiking. She also enjoys gardening. She loves picking handfuls of fresh herbs for the most flavorful smoothies and meals.
In a world full of confusion around health, it’s time to go back to the basics and make sure your foundation of nutrition and emotional wellness are firm. Vitality can be yours!
