The longer I work as a pharmacist, the more I notice that my patients aren’t getting better
It’s only a matter of time before they’re started on more medications, experience terrible side effects, or have lists of questions that their providers didn’t have the answers to.
The medical system failed me too
ER visits, recurrent infections, surgery that didn’t work, never-ending pain, and countless appointments with specialists. I was “diagnosed” with a list of things and told “everything looks normal” and “it’s genetic… here’s another prescription.” The one size fits all approach.
Then I discovered holistic healing, functional medicine, and integrative health
Helping people understand how medications work is important and necessary, but I wanted to do more. I wanted to help people heal and provide all the things I wish I knew years ago when I was struggling with my own health.
And that’s how my functional medicine & integrative health coaching practice was born
Integrative health focuses on natural healing based on seven principles: Functional Medicine, Traditional Naturopathy, Ayurvedic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine & Herbalism, and Eastern Philosophy.
Up to 90% of chronic symptoms and illness is influenced by our food and lifestyle habits
Yes… you read that right. It’s not just genetics. We should be empowered to optimize our health. Instead of masking symptoms with medications, why not dig a little deeper and find the root cause to why symptoms are happening? Why not get to the root cause and give our body the tools it needs to truly heal?
If you smell smoke in your home, do you want a fan to blow the smell away?
Or would you rather dig deeper and spend the time to find the source of the smoke to actually address the issue?
TLDR: I can help you
Trained in both conventional medicine and functional & integrative health means I know the best of both worlds.
What doesn’t work is seeing a provider for a few minutes and then getting a prescription for a short term “quick fix.”
What actually works is having a health coach by your side as you learn more about your body, what your root causes are, and how to address them for good.
And that’s what I’m here to do: to show you the root cause approach and to empower you to take charge of your health. Because the truth is… your body was made to heal.
