About Integrative Health Solutions - Central Texas Hill Country

Integrative Health Solutions (IHS) was founded in 2020 by Family Nurse Practitioners Sandy Doyal, APRN, FNP-C, and Krysta Turknett, APRN, FNP-C. With over 30 years of combined experience in healthcare, Sandy and Krysta bring a diverse background spanning from Intensive Care, Labor & Delivery, Inpatient Care Management, Outpatient Cardiology, and Family Practice.

Shannon Jamison, HHP, IHPL1, a Functional Health Practitioner with a background in Integrative Health, joined the IHS team. Her expertise was instrumental in expanding IHS’s services into Functional Medicine, further enhancing the clinic’s holistic approach.

The vision for IHS was born from a shared desire to offer patients a faith-based, non-traditional approach to healthcare—one that sees and treats the whole person. From its beginnings during the COVID-19 pandemic—providing acute care visits and IV vitamin infusions—IHS has continued to grow, recently opening a second location in Fredericksburg, Texas.

At IHS, Family Nurse Practitioners serve as advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with graduate-level education—either a Master’s or Doctorate in Nursing. FNPs are specially trained in primary care, offering a full range of services including diagnosis, medical imaging, prescription management, and specialist referrals, for patients of all ages—from birth through end of life.

Sandy is a passionate nurse with a deep dedication to advancing patient care through the innovative approach of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Having personally experienced the transformative benefits of functional medicine and hormone replacement, Sandy is committed to staying at the forefront of this field by continuously updating her knowledge and skills. She believes that a holistic, synergistic blend of Western and Functional medicine can lead to the best possible patient outcomes by addressing the root causes of healthcare conditions.

Sandy received her nursing diploma from Georgia Baptist Hospital School of Nursing, followed by both a Bachelor’s and Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. She had been nationally certified as a Critical Care Registered Nurse and Inpatient Obstetrical Nurse, and an inductee into the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. Additionally, Sandy is certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Outside of her professional life, Sandy enjoys traveling, public speaking, writing, and cherishing quality time with family and friends.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2008 and began her career in a Level I Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit at Baylor Scott & White in Temple, Texas. Her excellence in nursing was recognized when she was named one of the Top 25 Nurses within the Baylor Scott & White Healthcare System. She also earned national certification as a Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN).

Krysta later transitioned into Inpatient Care Management before returning to school, earning her Master of Science in Nursing in 2019 from her alma mater. She obtained her Family Nurse Practitioner certification through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

With a strong passion for preventive healthcare and chronic disease prevention, Krysta strives to empower her patients to improve their overall health and live their best lives. She is deeply committed to helping individuals achieve long-term wellness by building meaningful relationships and working collaboratively to create personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s unique goals.

Outside of her professional work, Krysta enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, relaxing on the lake, and gardening.

Shannon has a deep understanding of systems “interconnectedness” so she could help both women and men connect the dots between stress, their chronic illnesses, and improved wellness.
