Every creature on this planet has evolved within our Earth's microbial soup, and humankind is no exception. Microbes have always lived in us and on us. We are superorganisms of microbial and mammalian cells that have co-evolved over time. Our biology has evolved to rely on microbes to influence those metabolic functions that have not been encoded within the human genome. During this hour we will discuss those lifestyle choices, foods and herbs that nourish a wholesome microbiome that positively signals our genetic program towards repair and restore.

She is a Functional Medicine, Family Medicine and Emergency Department Physician with over 20 years of infusing botanical medicines and other integrative approaches to create her unique healing modalities.
