About Dr. Kyler Elwell
Dr. Kyler Elwell-Silver is a board-certified physician passionate about medicine and deeply committed to patient care. After years of practicing conventional medicine as an obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Elwell reached a point where she felt the need to explore a different approach and decided to transition to functional medicine. The growing number of inquiries about functional medicine and her desire to provide comprehensive care beyond the limits of 15-minute appointments prompted her to do some soul-searching and make a change.
Dr. Elwell found that patients wanted to understand the reasons behind their illnesses and desired solutions beyond symptom management. They sought answers to the “why” behind their health issues and longed for sustainable solutions. Inspired by this desire for comprehensive care, she embarked on a new path in functional medicine, eager to provide patients with the in-depth understanding and personalized treatment plans they desired.
Dr. Elwell completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, before pursuing her medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. She then completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at UT Southwestern, solidifying her foundation in women’s health. Dr. Elwell most recently became board-certified in obesity medicine, further enhancing her ability to address the complex relationship between hormones, metabolism, and overall health.
Beyond her medical expertise, Dr. Elwell’s genuine care for her patients sets her apart. She values building strong relationships and being a trusted partner in her patients’ healthcare journeys. Patient care played a significant role in Dr. Elwell’s decision to focus on functional medicine. She realized that her favorite part of being a physician was the deep connections she formed with her patients. Recognizing the need for a more personalized and in-depth approach to patient care, she delved into the field.
About Dr. Brad Silver
Dr. Brad Silver is a board-certified physician with over 15 years of experience caring for patients at one of the busiest Level 1 trauma centers in the country. Throughout his career in emergency medicine, Dr. Silver developed a deep appreciation for listening to patients, understanding what they’re going through, and helping them feel truly heard. His years in a demanding clinical environment strengthened his ability to think critically, connect quickly, and guide patients through complex or confusing health concerns.
Over time, Dr. Silver felt called to make a shift toward a style of medicine that allows for more time, deeper conversation, and a more personalized partnership with each patient. He watched his wife, Dr. Kyler Elwell-Silver, find tremendous fulfillment in functional medicine and recognized how much he wanted that same ability to truly get to the root of people’s health issues.
While Dr. Silver treats all patients, his passion is men’s health. He understands firsthand how often men delay care or overlook symptoms, and he wants to create a supportive environment where they can openly discuss concerns such as low energy, hormonal changes, sexual health challenges, metabolic issues, and performance goals. His background gives him a unique ability to identify patterns, evaluate underlying causes, and provide thoughtful, individualized plans for long-term wellness.
Dr. Silver completed his medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch before training in emergency medicine at UT Southwestern/Parkland Health. He is a Fellow of both the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. His clinical background includes extensive experience in cardiovascular assessment, diagnostics, and managing complex medical conditions.
Dr. Silver is also developing a performance-centered approach to health, incorporating advanced tools such as VO2 max testing and body composition analysis to provide patients with objective insights into their progress. He believes you can benefit from measurable data that helps you understand your body and stay motivated throughout your wellness journey.
About Physician Assistant Kam Neal, PA-C
Physician Assistant Kam Neal has loved medicine her entire life. She grew up in Colorado, and as a child, she remembers being fascinated with investigating how things worked. Throughout her career as a physician assistant, Kam has enjoyed working across several medical specialties. She has worked in family medicine, cardiology, and urgent care, and as a clinical assistant professor, where she learned she loved teaching.
In the traditional medical model, Kam felt frustrated working in a high-volume practice with barely enough time to refill medications and not seeing her patients feel any better. In addition, her experience with hormone imbalances after having children and being told “everything is normal” fueled those feelings, leading her to functional medicine and an optimal wellness model.
Kam’s desire to treat the whole patient and not just the symptoms, along with her passion for teaching, is evident. She loves working with each patient to find the root cause of their illness while teaching them about their health, so they feel informed and empowered.
Kam attended Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She then earned a master’s degree in health services from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She is a certified physician assistant and licensed by the Texas Medical Board.

About Nurse Practitioner Vanessa Cain, FNP-C
Vanessa Cain brings both deep clinical expertise and genuine warmth to her work at Forum Health Las Colinas. A board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, she spent twelve years at UT Southwestern, the last five as a nurse practitioner caring for patients with complex cardiovascular conditions across general, preventive, interventional, electrophysiology, and heart failure clinics.
Vanessa’s path to nursing wasn’t the most direct one. In college, she studied anthropology, and two classes in medical anthropology — the study of how culture, biology, and environment shape people’s experience of health, illness, and healing — stuck with her long after graduation, eventually leading her to nursing as a second degree. That early curiosity about people and how they experience medicine still shows up in the listening, open-minded approach she brings to every patient.
In her years in cardiology, the preventive side resonated with her most. Vanessa loved nothing more than helping patients optimize their health and become the best version of themselves, and that passion eventually pulled her toward functional medicine. She completed coursework through the Institute for Functional Medicine and, along the way, reconnected with Dr. Kyler Elwell-Silver, a former colleague from her years at UT Southwestern. At Forum Health, she found exactly what she’d been searching for: a practice where providers have the time to truly sit with patients, walk through their labs in depth, and connect the dots between symptoms that so often seem unrelated.
At the heart of Vanessa’s approach is listening. She believes every patient deserves a partner who takes the time to understand not just what’s wrong, but why — because a “normal” lab result isn’t always an optimal one. Vanessa looks at how each result connects to everything else happening in the body, and she welcomes patients of all backgrounds and health goals, with a special interest in cardiac and metabolic health.
Vanessa holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, magna cum Laude, from Pace University. She is a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the Institute for Functional Medicine. Outside the clinic, Vanessa is a proud mom of two, and she and her family call the Dallas area home.
