  • A Functional Medicine Approach to Detox: Interview with Bridget Danner

    Bridgit Danner has been a licensed acupuncturist since 2004 and a certified Functional Diagnostic practitioner since 2015.  She has given over 12,000 treatments in her career.

    Her interest in natural health grew from an interest in protecting the environment. Even as a child, she was donating her allowance to Greenpeace and writing cosmetic companies to ask about their practices!

    While busy running a busy integrative wellness center in Portland, Oregon, she developed an environmental illness due to toxic mold in her home. Already experienced in hormone management and nutrition, she became acutely aware of the powerful impact of the environment on her health.

    She and her family lost their house and everything in it to toxic mold, and they moved 1,000 miles to the Arizona desert to heal.

    Bridgit now educates about toxins and detox through her online community and coaches women on how to detoxify through a functional approach.

  • Ayurveda and Menopause: Interview with Val Joan of Ayurveda With Val
    I want to share the basics of Ayurveda, starting with food, the foundation of a healthy life. What diet is right for you? It’s not about counting calories, it’s about choosing the right food, the right herbs and spices, the right time, combinations and techniques. Ayurveda nutrition is fun, delicious, and nourishing. And once you know what is good for you, Ayurveda nutrition is simple. It all starts with knowing yourself. From that awareness, and with some education, you will naturally change your behaviors.
    We start with food. Food is the foundation. But Ayurveda is way more than that: it is a lifestyle, a way of existing in the world, a sense of connection with nature, a higher consciousness. It is fun, sensual, and spiritual. It’s a whole system, a big toolbox. It’s a framework to design a new lifestyle!
    I believe that we are all on this planet for a purpose. Sharing what I have learned with as many women as possible is what I feel my dharma is -- my life purpose. Ayurveda has changed my life: my digestion, my energy, my mood, my sleep, the way I make big & small choices, my sex life, and my spirituality. It has given me a framework: a set of tools that I use to create alignment and balance in my life. Those tools are here for you too.

  • A Holistic Approach to Oral Health: Interview with Andrea Brockman, DDS

    Dr. Andrea Brockman is the CEO and Co-Founder of ExploreHolistic.com, an inclusive and forward-thinking educational platform and online directory designed to boost awareness, understanding, access and acceptance of holistic health.

    After spending her career first as an intensive care nurse and then as a dentist treating the dental needs of medically compromised patients, she trained in multiple alternative and holistic health practices shifting to a Biological dental practice.

    Andrea knows there are many ways to treat health conditions—and it’s not just covering up symptoms with pills. In holistic care, it’s how well you connect with the people you’re trying to help and communicate your understanding back to them.

    Dr. Andrea has testified to the FDA and the Philadelphia Department of Health on the dangers of mercury containing amalgam fillings. Her own articles have been featured in blogs, book chapters, and manuals to incorporate oral health in overall health diagnosis and treatment.

    Dr. Andrea Brockman holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Dental Surgery, both from Temple University in Philadelphia. She was in private biological dental practice with her husband, Dr. Vincent DiLorenzo for 25 years. They have three grown sons who have been instrumental in helping to develop the online presence of ExploreHolistic.com

  • A Functional Medicine Approach to Type 2 Diabetes: Interview with Melody Hartzler, Pharm.D.

    I’m a clinical pharmacist at Western Medicine Family Physicians in Fairborn, Ohio. And I also teach part-time at Cedarville University School of Pharmacy. I love sharing experiences with the next generation of practitioners especially when I can teach diabetes & functional medicine content! I am currently a Board Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Specialist (BCACP), and Board Certified in Advanced Diabetes Management (BC-ADM).

    I married my wonderful husband Dustin in 2007, and graduated from Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy in 2009. Then I completed a pharmacy practice residency with emphasis in ambulatory care (primary care) at the Chalmers P. Wylie VA Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, Ohio. Following residency training, I took a full time faculty position at Cedarville University School of Pharmacy and started a clinical practice in family medicine at the Victor J. Cassano Health Center where I practiced for 6 years.

    From a practice standpoint, I have been focused on diabetes management for the majority of my career. I love helping people learn how to eat healthy and figure out what they need when diet and exercise don’t do the trick. I also have been managing other chronic disease states such as hypertension, asthma, and COPD. Most recently I have developed a passion for functional medicine. Functional medicine is treating the underlying causes of disease vs. just treating the symptoms.
