About the Author
Born and raised in Illinois, I completed my residency in South Bend, Indiana, after which, I joined an integrative medical practice. There, I witnessed firsthand the struggles each patient encountered, and their frustration in not knowing where to begin. With my team, which included a nutritionist, psychotherapist, exercise physiologist, chiropractor, acupuncturist and other physicians, I was determined to get to the root cause of disease for each patient and myself.Not only did I have the joy of witnessing hundreds of success stories thanks to a holistic approach, I experienced firsthand the power of healing as I lost 50 pounds and beat hypothyroidism, eczema, sebhorrheic dermatitis, acne, fatigue, alopecia, joint pain, weight and digestive issues, all while balancing a growing family and work! In 2015, I moved to my hometown and established my own practice. When I wasn't with patients, I was researching, pulling together the puzzle pieces of true holistic health care. If I as a physician was confused, how could those suffering all over the world find healing? After four years of study, I took matters into my own hands and wrote The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease. It became a #1 best seller in multiple categories on Amazon, interpreting the best of holistic, functional and integrative medicine in ONE source for over 70 conditions across the lifespan.My enthusiasm for holistic health only continues to grow. Years of study and interactions with patients have transformed my life as a doctor, coach, wife and mother. My crazy life at home is filled with five young, very active boys (four sons and a husband) , a daily reminder of my passion: helping families heal and prevent disease, despite a crazy and busy schedule.
