I am a pharmacogenomics certified retired clinical pharmacist with 25 years of mind, body, spirit hospital and ambulatory experience.
After personally seeking the services of a "functional medicine practitioner" since 2011, and managing healthcare and supplements for my own family, I see a need for experts to bridge the gap between unguided self-care and allopathic medicine ("the treatment of disease by conventional means i.e. with drugs having opposite effects to the symptoms") by getting to the root cause. I have learned that if you are lacking specific nutrients for your unique biochemistry, it is not operating effectively and may be resulting in chronic disease years later.
As a pharmacist, I am uniquely qualified to advise my clients in their wellness journey, having spent my professional career performing clinical reviews of complex drug regimens and making interventions to mitigate adverse drug events, duplicate drug therapies, inappropriate dosing, and drug interactions.
