Dr. Marcia’s passion for keeping the body and mind healthy stems from an event that occurred early in her childhood. She witnessed her mother administering insulin injections to her father and believed that if her father had diabetes, there was a good chance she could inherit the disease.
In 2006, Dr. Marcia was devastated when her mother was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. Praying for guidance and counsel, Dr. Marcia sought ways to “naturally” restore her mother’s health and avoid dialysis. At the time of her mother’s diagnosis, her filtration rate was down to 28%. By incorporating nutrition and alternative medicine, her mother’s filtration rate greatly improved to a constant 46%, and her mother never had to go on dialysis. Dr. Marcia’s mother lived another nine healthy years to the ripe old age of 95.
Dr. Marcia believes that by eating a whole-food based diet to nourish our bodies and living a healthy lifestyle, all of us can live longer, healthy and more productive lives. Her aim is to educate and empower others to take responsibility for their health and be proactive in caring for the one and only body they will ever have. Dr. Marcia believes that getting old does not make you sick, getting sick makes you old.
