MEET LYNN FREDES, FNP
Care should feel personal.
You are more than a lab result, diagnosis, or 15-minute appointment. At Arivita, we take time to understand the full story behind your health.
Meet Lynn Fredes, FNP
I strive to provide excellent healthcare by prioritizing each patient’s individual needs and combining clinical expertise with compassionate, thoughtful care.
My approach is integrative but medically grounded. I stay current with evidence and emerging research while also considering nutrition, lifestyle, hormones, metabolism, gut health, medications, and the other factors that influence how someone feels.
Most importantly, I want patients to feel heard, informed, and involved in their healthcare.
Experience Behind the Care
Clinical experience, leadership, and specialized functional medicine training shape the way Lynn cares for patients today.
Lynn began her healthcare career as a Registered Nurse in medical-surgical and oncology care at Banner Health. After becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2014, her career expanded across direct patient care, oncology, clinical leadership, practice management, and nursing education.
She has also served as nursing faculty at Arizona State University.
As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Lynn brings her conventional medical background together with specialized training in functional medicine. Her approach combines evidence-informed clinical care with a deeper understanding of how different aspects of health are interconnected.

Health is the ability to live, move, participate, and feel well.
Balance
