I’m a mom, nurse, author and health advocate affectionately known as America’s favorite nurse. I’ve been a nurse for a long time and one thing is certain, I like to talk to people before they become my patients. I find great joy in educating and empowering people to take control of their health, wellness and lifestyle.
