Dr. Doctor has first hand knowledge of functional medicine herself. After graduating from Villanova, she worked at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston. While she loved the fast paced environment, her body did not. After seeking help from her conventional primary care doctor, she was quickly put on medication which exacerbated her health concerns and caused further weight gain. She sought other medical opinions but realized she needed to have a better understanding of her own unique body and that one size fits all medicine was not the answer.
After seeking out help from her conventional primary care doctor, she was quickly put on medication that caused more weight gain. She sought other medical opinions but she quickly realized she needed to have a better understanding of her own unique body and that one size fits all medicine was not the answer.
This was when she recognized the undeniable connection between the mind, body and gut. She spent thousands of hours reading and researching until she found the foods, exercises and mental health programs that worked best for her.
During this experience, she recognized the lack of attention and time that weight management gets in the medical profession. Patients are told to lose weight and to be a certain BMI (not the case!) but rarely do medical providers get to the root cause and a personalized program tailored to their patient's unique body and lifestyle. Emily wanted to leverage her personal experience and medical knowledge to help others get to the root cause of their hormone imbalance, gut dysbiosis, bloat, fatigue all to prevent further medical concerns down the road.
Dr. Doctor's education and experience have equipped her with extensive knowledge in functional medicine, weight management, gut health, hormone balance health optimization, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and mental health to get to the root cause of weight gain. It is her great privilege to partner with her clients to help them navigate their own unique journey to look and feel their best. .
