Savage Perspective Podcast

Taking Control of Your Health with Dr. Jen Pfleghaar


Listen Later

Are traditional Western medical solutions just not working for you anymore? Dr. Pfleghaar (Dr. Jen) attended medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then went on to residency at St Vincent's Mercy Medical Center for Emergency Medicine. Dr. Jen spent one year flying with Life Flight as a flight physician. She now works at local emergency rooms in the community and her office in Perrysburg, OH practicing Integrative Medicine. Having children sparked Dr. Jen's interest in Integrative Medicine, and she is passionate about helping her clients heal their bodies from the inside out. It was an absolute pleasure to speak with her and I know you'll take something from this episode.
