I help motivated women attain vibrant health so they can feel amazing and live a life they love - and I do things differently. 📣 I'd like to share with you something very personal that took place in my life which made me a different kind of doctor in a way that better serves you. 👩🏽⚕️ I was practicing as a medical specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and pursuing a successful well-published career in research when my world was suddenly turned upside down. My dad, an avid runner, cyclist, and Iron Man competitor, was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). With no family history of this fatal disease with no cure, we were shocked. 🤷🏼♀️ My own health was deteriorating, and at the time I was confused with why this was happening, frustrated with the lack of options despite my Western medicine training. Medications were a bandaid solution - I wanted to fix the root causes. 🏊🏼♀️I did the only thing I could do – I dove deep into the research. I went beyond what I was taught in Medical Specialty training and into other areas of health – Functional Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, Nutritional Sciences, Health Technology, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and so much more. 📖 Using my medical research skills to systematically search thousands of studies, I discovered what I call The Four Pillars of Whole-Body Health: 😳 Stress Response ⚖️ Hormone Balance 🥘 Gut Health 🛑 Toxins Tolerance 🏛 All chronic diseases are as a result of deterioration in one or more of these Four Pillars, and they are almost all, to some extent, reversible SO LONG AS the root causes are identified and addressed IN TIME. 🧬 The research confirms that these root causes are rarely genetic; they are usually as a result of what we regularly eat, drink, breath, and put on our skin; how we move, sweat, think and connect (or don't connect) with others. 🔥 Now I teach about and create powerful research-backed action plans for a 'wholistic' approach to optimizing these Four Pillars including: ✅ Personalized nutrition ✅ Strategic lifestyle shifts ✅ Targeted supplements that work to balance your hormones, heal your gut, transform your stress response, avoid (and detoxify!) hidden harmful chemicals. ❤️🔥 I care deeply about your health, and I am here to help you attain your highest health so you can feel amazing and live a life you love. 🚀 I can't wait to see how you soar with this information.
