The whos and whats
I’d like to offer you a warm introduction to some of my favorite minds, resources, and innovators in the health and wellness world.
Andrew Weil, MD - The man who was the initial inspiration on my wellness quest! I was introduced to Dr. Weil in a college Health Psychology course over 10 years ago and have picked up and read many of his books at thrift stores since. A trained medical doctor and botanist, he’s revolutionizing the medical industry with the mind-body connection, plant medicine, and his Center for Integrative Medicine.
mindbodygreen - A long-time favorite source for wellness-related articles and great podcast.
Institute for Integrative Nutrition - The online program in which I’ve received my Health Coach education and training.
Ellen Vora, MD - Wanna talk about how your gut health controls your mood? Me too! I’m extremely inspired by Dr. Vora’s take on mental health and how she includes a patient’s lifestyle and diet in her psychology practice.
Mark Hyman, MD - One of my favorite Functional Medicine doctors to listen to lecture and follow on Instagram, an advocate for “Food as Medicine.” He is an absolute wealth of health knowledge and speaks in ways to easily understand.
Bernie Siegel, MD - He is truly reminiscent of an angel, including love in his practice and cancer treatments, and he’s an artist!
Robin Berzin, MD - An inspiring young Functional Medicine doctor who started her own medical center, Parsley Health, in New York and has expanded to multiple locations.
Susan Blum, MD - A Functional Medicine doctor specializing in autoimmune conditions. I absolutely love her book The Immune System Recovery Plan.
Alissa Vitti, Integrative Nutritionist - A trailblazer to women’s health, hormones, and the monthly cycle. I’ve learned so much just from using her App, MyFLO.
PubMed - Research peer-reviewed articles.
Manisha Thakor, CFA / MoneyZen - Absolutely brilliant when it comes to all things money, the way she speaks about finances is actually relatable, understandable, and inspirational.
Zach Bush, MD - A trailblazer, triple board certified doctor and advocate for the health of our soil in regards to creating the most nutrient-dense produce for consumption. He has a progressive outlook on farming and expresses his love for mother earth often, encouraging us to breathe in as many ecosystems as we can each day.
Frank Lipman, MD - A good-hearted doctor and leader in Functional Medicine blending Western and Eastern practices. Excellent podcast with all sorts of guests - Tune Into Wellness.
