“The key to creating health is figuring out the cause of the problem and then providing the right conditions for the body and soul to thrive.” — Mark Hyman MD
Why The Wellness Place?
-
- Because of my best friend in high school who was diagnosed with cancer and died at age 26 after years of symptoms and being told it was “normal”.
-
- Because of a close family member who suffered for years of similar issues to my friend and ended up hemorrhaging and luckily made it through
-
- Because of the years of fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue that I endured only to be told by practitioner after practitioner that I was ‘just getting older’ or that is was my hormones.
-
- Because of the ability of a simple dietary change that resolved my fibromyalgia symptoms- 5 years after diagnosis.
-
- Because of the ruined relationships that were a result of my health issues.
- Because of the dogged determination that it took to find natural solutions to real health issues that have gifted me – at the age of 56 – to be healthy, happy and medication-free.
- Because I do not want anyone to have to go through the journey to health that I did.
