I was exposed to Chinese Medicine and Designed Clinical Nutrition as a teenager, after being advised by a number of Western Medical Specialist to no longer play sports because of debilitating knee pain. The orthopedic doctor actually told me to become a “couch potato”. The experience and success of the treatment changed the way I viewed medicine forever, and after receiving my bachelors of science in Biology, I went in to receive my masters from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.
I continued my education in China, being fortunate to study from doctors with over 50 years of experience. They took many aspects into consideration before treatment would start. The first thing they looked at was the diet and nutrition then the function of the body as a whole including the digestive system, hormone system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, to name a few.
