She has been a vegetarian all her life and is focused on sharing the benefits of a plant-based diet. This website is intended to help others easily implement a plant-based diet into their lives.
The concept of Integrative and Holistic Medicine has received a lot of popularity and even it is getting a little complex to implement. Her goal is to simplify even that so it becomes easier to live.
She feels that the doctors are still “practicing” to master the art of medical science while the patients are “patiently” waiting and she would like to explore this field more for her own self and share her experiences and discoveries with others.
