Join us for Morning Infusion with Dr. V as we talk with Meredith Miller, Health and Wellness Coach about how she lost 90lbs.  She is now a health and wellness coach helping others with their weight loss issues.  

Applied for surgical technology 1999, program was full so I was referred to medical lab technology. Graduated 2002. Did general lab and pharmaceutical chemistry lab for 10 years. 

2012 stepped into a phlebotomy supervisor role. 

2016 left that role and went back to a general lab working in an er/extended care facility in a small rural town (it was old school and I like going back to my roots).

In 2017 I had surgery to remove the skin after 90lbs of weight loss and had an overgrowth of normal flora (bc I’m extra and it always happens to me) and became septic. 

During my hospital stay and recovery, the facility decided to dissolve their er and thus the lab. 

I had opened a boutique on the side (I’ve always been an entrepreneur) and decided to do that full-time. 

In July of 2020 my husband and I decided to move out of our home and begin living full time in our rv and travel to find where God really wanted us to put down roots. 

Oct 31 we moved out of the house for good. 

I have always struggled with weight, so healthy living, especially after my sepsis had been a central theme in my life. Learning best how to be a good steward of the body God gave me and the life he blessed me to keep. 

One morning while journaling and having my quiet time, the Holy Spirit took the pen and basically told me that I was going to be a health and wellness coach and I was to continue my education to become a nutritionist.
