We have medications to treat almost every medical condition – sometimes medications are needed, but many times medication is not the ONLY answer. I truly believe that we need medications, but we also have to remember that there is a bigger picture – there is a complete health and wellness component to every disease state. Some of the most common medical conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and pain syndromes should also be treated with lifestyle changes. The foods we eat and our activity levels have such a huge impact on our overall health.
I know that most of you know this about me – I’m a pharmacist, and I worked hard for seven years to earn a Doctorate degree so that I can help others be healthier, feel better and live happier lives. My days at the pharmacy are fulfilling as I have the amazing opportunity to offer advice and support to so many patients. However, what if my advice and support began BEFORE someone was sick and needed medication? How much impact could I have on helping PREVENT or LESSEN the SEVERITY of some of the disease states that I treat every day? What if medication isn’t the sole answer to everything?
These are my goals.
This is my purpose - to share what I learned at the College of Pharmacy and what I continue to learn every day. To be an ADVOCATE for TRUE HEALTH. My passion is to help everyone feel their healthiest by making small changes towards a better lifestyle. Just like medications, one strength or compound doesn’t fit everyone. We all have to find what works for us so that we can feel our best. One nutrition plan doesn’t fit everyone; one exercise program doesn’t fit everyone.
Finding what works for you is much easier with someone who will support and encourage you. Choose a health care professional who truly knows how to live healthier without sharing false promises or quick fixes. You too can find your own healthy!
This is a lifestyle change of which I am a proud advocate.
My life’s journey has truly been enriched by sharing health with so many.
