Medications

After a comment about it being bad advice, she wanted to break down her thoughts on the topic. She discusses the difference between necessary medications and ones that people take that could be solved by healthy lifestyle and dietary changes.
NTP
Melissa’s job as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) was created to be the liaison between clients and doctors. NTP’s are able to spend more time with clients discussing lifestyle and nutritional changes to help them get off of certain medications. The body is really good at letting us know when something isn’t right, and NTP’s help navigate how to manage those issues.
Education
Melissa wants everyone to be as educated as possible when it comes to medications and health. People should work with their doctors as well as other functional medical professionals (like NTP’s) to get the best possible care. Having the most information possible will lead to better overall health.
