April Lenker, AGNP hails from rural eastern North Carolina. She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2005 for undergraduate studies in nursing. In 2009, April began her career in nursing at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, working in specialty surgery.

After 2 years, she moved to UNC Rex Hospital to work as a bedside nurse with cancer patients and began graduate studies at UNC Chapel Hill. In 2014, April graduated with a master’s of science in nursing and began working as a nurse practitioner with UNC Rex Cancer Center.

From 2010 to 2020, April had a fulfilling career in oncology, helping people suffer less as they journey through cancer. In 2020, April transitioned from oncology into a new area of regenerative medicine, helping patients suffer less from joint pain.

In 2022, April first encountered functional medicine after her husband spent many years suffering from difficult health symptoms. They went through the traditional medical route, and appointment after appointment, all testing returned “normal”. Her husband did not feel normal, and his symptoms worsened over time. In 2022, they sought out the expertise of a functional medicine practitioner. Through comprehensive testing, the underlying causes of her husband’s condition were identified and treated. By late 2022, her husband had made a dramatic turnaround. To this day, he is no longer limited by his symptoms and is feeling better than he did at age 30! April could not believe the turnaround.

When she realized the comprehensive diagnostic testing and science-based treatments in the field of functional medicine, she was all in. In 2024, she became certified. Now, she combines her traditional medicine background with advanced functional diagnostic testing to identify root causes of dysfunctions within the body. She joined CHM in March 2026 and is a part of the Priority Health Academy, working towards certification with PHA.

Welcome April! She will see patients in person at the Mt. Pleasant office and by Telemedicine as well.

New book by Sr. Fellow at IMA: Pandemic in the Shadows: The Truth in the First Person

by Hector Carvallo (Author) @: https://www.amazon.com.au/Pandemic-Shadows-Truth-First-Person-ebook/dp/B0GS76P8W6

This book is an invaluable testimony, narrated from the direct experience of a renowned Argentine physician, about the delicate and complex political, social, and economic web surrounding the 2020–2022 pandemic. It makes clear that it was far more than a health emergency.

Blending scientific rigor, the seriousness required to address these issues, and a surprising sense of humor, Héctor Carvallo guides us through the milestones he himself experienced—not only as a citizen, but also as a physician and a researcher.

He makes his experiences and investigations available to the general public, and candidly reveals (while always maintaining his lively sense of humor) how he had to endure censorship, threats, and media defamation firsthand.

Above all, Pandemic in the Shadows is a treasure for present and future generations—not only so that we do not repeat the mistakes made during 2020–2022, but also so that we fully understand that empathy, courage, and truth are the lights that can always lead us through any challenge.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Héctor Eduardo Carvallo (Buenos Aires, 1957) is an Argentine physician, lecturer, and philanthropist. He has taught medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, the Interamerican Open University, and Maimonides University. He served as Director of the Ezeiza Hospital.

For his humanitarian work, he has been honored at the Circle of Legislators of the Argentine Nation and at the New York State Senate in Albany.

He has also received the Keys to the Cities of Seneca Falls and Geneva (New York), and Sidney (Nebraska).

He has been married to Mirta for more than 40 years and has two children and three grandchildren. He currently lives in Ezeiza (Buenos Aires Province).
