A Note From Barbara
Thank you for checking out my website and hope you find some useful information to help you improve your health.
I am really passionate about what I do especially since I spent a great deal of my life struggling with chronic illness. It wasn’t until I found a practitioner who really listened and was fluent in the science behind diet and lifestyle, that I learned how much power I actually had over my own health. That was over 20+ years ago and there hasn’t been much time since then that I have not been immersed in some medical journal, technical paper, conference, etc. that ties biochemistry to our environmental choices/exposures.
It’s been an exciting journey in which my practice organically evolves with the latest research. This is super important since addressing chronic conditions requires a broad perspective. These types of conditions can’t often be solved in a few weeks with a few supplements but involve a complex web of related factors that must be untangled one step at a time.
But life is not just about work. I spend my time divided between San Diego coastal living and remote Alaska, I live for long distance hiking and have walked the Camino De Santiago, West Hyland Way, and portions of Pacific Crest trail. Meditation and yoga are a big part of my life, and I dabble in saxophone. We love to plant huge gardens–both flowers and veggies and have turned urban landscapes into front yard orchards. In my spare time, I love watching movies but my favorite thing is just simple dinners and games with family and friends
