Meet Dr. Houser

I'm a board-certified OB/GYN and practicing partner at Columbus Obstetricians-Gynecologists Inc. For over 30 years, I've cared for women through some of life's most significant moments. But after two decades of practicing conventional medicine, I found myself asking a harder question — what does it actually mean to be well?

That question led me to the Institute for Functional Medicine, and it changed everything. I finally had a framework for helping patients thrive, not just manage symptoms. Functional medicine reignited my passion for this work, and sharing it has become my purpose.

Why I Created Live Well 365

I saw a gap — my patients needed more than a prescription or a procedure. They needed guidance, support, and a team invested in their long-term health. Live Well 365 was built to fill that space.

Here, care is a collaborative effort. Your team may include a health coach, a registered dietitian, and a physician — all working together to help you reach your health goals. I also encourage patients to continue working with their primary care physician for general health needs, because true wellness takes a village.

Welcome — we're so glad you're here.

Meet Caitlin

I believe health is about balance — a world where body positivity is the norm, "bad" foods don't exist, and taking care of yourself actually feels good. Getting there doesn't require perfection; it takes small but powerful steps, real accountability, and yes — it should be fun.

My own journey taught me that firsthand. Five years ago I was fifty pounds overweight, exhausted, moody, and dealing with skin issues, allergies, and chronic headaches. Determined to change, I joined a gym, became a personal trainer, and eventually found myself competing in fitness competitions. Competing gave me discipline, drive, and motivation — but not balance. That missing piece became my greatest teacher.

Today I'm passionate about the kind of health that sticks: physical, mental, and emotional balance working together. I've seen this approach transform my own life and ripple out into the lives of my family, friends, and clients — and I'd love to help it do the same for you.

I'm a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, NCCA Certified Personal Trainer with a specialization in fitness nutrition, and a Lifestyle Educator. I look forward to meeting you and helping you live your best, most balanced life.
