As a mother, wife, and entrepreneur, I understand the hurdles to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We live in our fast-paced society, which is saturated with quick meals of processed or fast-food choices which are neither healthy nor nutritious.

My journey toward health has been a lifelong and ongoing journey and despite believing I led a healthy lifestyle, a cancer diagnosis in 2015 was a sobering wakeup call that health is more than just eating your vegetables and exercising a couple times a week.

Through enrollment in this course, I hope to learn a more in-depth understand for practical uses of natural alternatives. I believe pharmaceuticals are often overprescribed and the best way to avoid them is to not need them in the first place. By embracing healthy habits including a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and broadening my understanding of natural remedies, I am committed to helping others become more informed about healthy choices and to take action to live a healthier life.
