Reimagining Healthcare

Ep. 17 ~ The Roots of Health with Janet Bakalian, NP-BC


Listen Later

Janet Bakalian is a board certified Nurse Practitioner who has experience in the hospital setting and aesthetics industry. Her passion has always been health and wellness, however she didn’t always know what that meant. Due to the underpaid and overworked nature of the NP position, Janet hustled hard and unfortunately came to a point of burn out during Covid. Deep in her gut, she felt something was off and started to question the structure of Western Medicine - she knew there had to be a different approach to health and wellbeing. She began to explore the Medical Aesthetics and Wellness spaces. Soon after, her eyes opened up to a whole new level of corruption and this disappointment led her to make a very hard, yet brave, pivot from it all - she stopped practicing medicine to focused on her own healing.

Becoming immersed in self study, alternative and holistic medicine, and supplements, this path helped her realize that the formula to true health and wellness was simple: Live in a state of flow, slow down, connect with nature, real food, and other human beings. This journey ultimately led Janet and her husband to begin growing their own food. This new profound connection to the earth, set the foundation for Janet to discover her dharma, her purpose: to help inspire others to connect with nature, consider holistic options, and focus on nourishment with real food to prevent chronic disease.
