Dr. Nikki – as she is known – plays an important role on Dr. B’s breast health team, melding science with her knowledge of nature-based interventions. She gives us a window into how her approach, based in ancient traditions, uncovers clues to what’s ailing patients and builds on western medical practices with powerful results. We’re learning, among other things, about the role of herbs, vitamin supplements and the impacts our gut health can have on everything from immune function to mood and longevity. We also get an interesting perspective from Dr. B, whose traditional med school education gave only passing attention to the naturopathic practices Dr. Nikki brings to their collaboration. This dynamic duo is all about promoting optimal health and offering practical strategies to help us achieve the wellness we all desire!
