Hi everyone! I am so glad you found HealthFormation, and I hope you can find something helpful in our content.

I am a pharmacist specializing in management of chronic disease. I see people every day who take handfuls of medications to help "manage" conditions that are a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. Unfortunately, society today makes it easier to be unhealthy than it does to be healthy, and people are paying the price. As a pharmacist, I encourage use of the most evidence-based medications we have to help people manage their conditions while teaching and encouraging lifestyle changes that can help them to eventually no longer need the medications they have come to rely on.

Education is really my passion. I work with students on a daily basis in their pharmacy curriculum, and integrate in the important lifestyle medicine I have come to learn and love throughout my pharmacy career. I also spend time educating patients on how they can make changes in their life that promote health and will help them move towards taking less medications. Our clinic sees a lot of patients who are high risk for development of chronic disease, and I work with them to provide education for disease prevention.

My overall goal is to use the HealthFormation platform to help people learn that being healthy does not have to be this huge overwhelming burden that we often think of today. I work to help people make small, appreciable lifestyle changes that can help them get back vitality and improve their health.
