About
Dr. Christy Seed, DO brings more than 20 years of experience in evidence-based integrative medicine to her practice in Bar Harbor, Maine. She holds board certification in Family Medicine, completed an Integrative Medicine Fellowship, and earned certification from the Menopause Society. Her clinical interests span women's health, chronic disease management, menopause medicine, and lifestyle medicine.
Her path to medicine took shape during Peace Corps service in Côte d'Ivoire. There she learned that health involves the whole person within their environment and community. That conviction led her to osteopathic medicine, with its inherent focus on holistic healing. Returning to Maine reinforced her belief that where you live and how you live matter deeply to your health. In 2015, she founded Acadia Integrative Medicine to build a practice centered on those values. She also leads the Empowered Menopause Collective, a physician-led support group for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Dr. Seed accepts Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients.
