My mission is to help you build resilience, clarity, and strength through better brain health, which ultimately leads to improved mental health. By combining precision medicine, natural whole-person approaches, and biblical wisdom, I focus on nourishing the brain so we can minimize the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
