Physician Assistant

Beka Yates is a board-certified Physician Assistant who has practiced internal medicine since 2013. She received her undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sports Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then went on to complete her Physician Assistant studies at the Medical University of South Carolina. Through her years managing chronic illnesses, she started to recognize that there must be a better way to treat patients than to keep adding more medications at each visit.

She especially started to notice the increase of hormone related medical problems not only driven by aging but exacerbated by the standard American diet, high stress lives, poor sleep, and environmental toxins.

Beka applied and was accepted into the certification program through the Institute of Functional Medicine in 2018. This training taught her how to look at the body as a whole to help her patients regain optimal functioning by addressing the root cause of their disease. She went on to further her training in BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement) with courses in the BHRT Training Academy and Worldlink Medical.

It is not only about the number of days on this earth but the quality of those days. Through a personalized approach, Beka helps her patients regain their vitality for life and feel younger than they have in years.

Outside of medicine, Beka’s passions include exploring new places, staying active through CrossFit, and creating gourmet meals with her husband.
