Dr. Hudson's love for Women's Health started in her undergraduate studies when she engaged in a volunteer program at a local hospital, seeing her first birth on Labor & Delivery. She was determined then to attend medical school and the rest is history! During residency training, she had the unique opportunity to train in both a busy downtown hospital and a military medical facility which afforded her experience in both low and high risk obstetrics and gynecologic surgery in a wide variety of patient populations. Once on her own, she realized there was a whole realm of optimal health and wellness not being focused on in the conventional medical model and decided to marry modern and functional medicine. She completed both the Kresser Institute's ADAPT Framework Level One course and all advanced practice modules for certification through the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Hudson believes it is a joy and honor to serve the women and families in the community using a whole-person and more integrative approach to health. Her favorite clinical interests include fertility, natural/physiologic birth, lactation, family planning, and minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery. She takes pride in an extremely low cesarean rate and loves partnering with local birth workers to foster the beautiful process of childbirth in a hospital setting. She welcomes both low and high risk pregnancies. Dr. Hudson has delivery and surgical privileges solely at St. Luke's Boise.
Dr. Hudson moved to Idaho in 2011 as a newlywed and has called this “honeymoon” home ever since. She describes herself as a former New Yorker, collegiate athlete, Air Force veteran, and a crunchy mom who wants to share the journey of natural health with women and their families. When not in the office, she enjoys hiking the Boise foothills, biking the Greenbelt, concerts at Outlaw Field, visiting local hot springs or wineries, paleo cooking, and sleep!
