Whether you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms or simply want to feel your best, YOU are in the right place.
Start with the condition that matters most to you:
Dr. Shippy specializes in getting to the root of complex, chronic, and unexplained symptoms using advanced testing and deeply personalized care. Whether you’re dealing with autoimmunity, mold toxicity, fertility struggles, or fatigue, her approach is thoughtful, strategic, and grounded in functional medicine science.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all medicine. It’s a true partnership—and it works.
Dr. Ann Shippy is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Certified in Functional Medicine.
She operates a successful Austin, TX, functional medicine private practice, where she is known for her compassionate, attentive, and tireless approach to caring for her patients.
She has gained a considerable reputation for successfully diagnosing and treating mold patients and patients with chronic inflammatory response syndromes (CIRS).
Her areas of expertise also include autoimmunity, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, behavioral health, infertility and pregnancy, and toxicity.
Using cutting-edge science, research, and genetic information to find and treat root causes–not just symptoms–of illness, Dr. Shippy has designed life-altering treatments and functional medicine protocols for her patients by tapping into the human body’s incredible ability to express or repress helpful or detrimental genes, as well as prevent, heal, and even reverse certain illnesses.
Prior to her medical career, Dr. Shippy was a manager and chemical engineer for IBM. Dr. Shippy earned her MD from the University of Texas. She holds a master’s degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.
On top of having an Austin, Texas functional medicine private practice, Dr. Ann Shippy also provides IV therapy, health programs, and a comprehensive list of functional health supplements.
Before my board certification in Internal Medicine and over twenty-five years of practicing medicine in the Austin, Texas area…I was working as a chemical engineer and manager with IBM.
After returning from a vacation, I got REALLY sick. From severe gut issues, to hair loss, to extreme fatigue… my colleagues at work thought I was actually dying.
I went to many recommended doctors with high hopes of healing my body. Unfortunately, at the time, I was given medications that only served as band-aids… without TRUE solutions… and my symptoms continued to worsen.
At the same time, I devoured every health book I could find, met with an ayurvedic doctor, a nutritionist, an herbalist, an immunologist, a naturopath, and an acupuncturist, putting every piece of research together and experimenting with multiple diets until I finally reached a breakthrough in my own healing.
I knew that somehow there must be a better way to practice medicine…
