From the time I was a young girl, I knew I wanted a career in medicine. I started my education with a Bachelors Degree in Biology from the State University of NY @ Geneseo, followed by my Physician Assistant degree from Cornell University Medical College.
Over the past 32 years I have worked in obesity medicine, multiple surgical specialties, conventional, integrative and energy medicine. I diagnosed and treated the worst of the worst complications of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes like vascular bypasses to salvage extremities from non healing ulcers, wound infections, amputations, strokes, dementia and heart attacks. I cared for many diabetes related, blind amputees, on dialysis and this has been forever imprinted on my heart. It wasn't until decades later that I realized this could have all been prevented if our patients had been taught how to live a healthy lifestyle and use food as medicine.
This fueled my desire to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, then saw first hand, over and over again, how effective a healthy lifestyle program could reverse chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and so much more. Unfortunately, this is not taught in conventional medical schools, so I had to find a way to help people including my own family outside the medical model. So, I started a Healthy Lifestyles Ministry at my church to share my passion and mission to educate , equip, and empower men and women to achieve optimum health and wellness so they can live life to the fullest, feel amazing, energetic and free from preventable chronic diseases.
I now use my signature Diabetes Reversal Formula coaching program to help my clients do just that...Reverse Diabetes. Nothing brings me greater joy and purpose than to help people become free from the limitations that hold them back from prospering in health as God has intended for us. It would be my honor and privilege to work with you on your journey to optimal health.
