Dr. Novlet Jarrett Davis is a board-certified internal medicine physician and functional medicine practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience, specializing in helping families address the root causes of chronic illness—particularly in children with autism and complex conditions.
Her approach to medicine became deeply personal in 2015, when her son was diagnosed with severe autism. Determined to find answers beyond conventional care, she turned to functional medicine, focusing on identifying and correcting underlying imbalances rather than simply managing symptoms. Through this journey, she was able to support her son’s recovery—an experience that transformed both her life and her medical practice.
Today, Dr. Davis combines her background in hospital and primary care medicine with advanced functional medicine training to deliver personalized, results-driven care. She uses a root-cause approach supported by nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and targeted protocols to help improve health, behavior, and overall quality of life.
Trained through leading organizations including IFM, MAPS, A4M, and ACSM, Dr. Davis is passionate about empowering families with the tools, knowledge, and guidance they need to take control of their health and create lasting change.
