After enduring several medical conditions and ultimately being diagnosed with nonencapsulated and potentially invasive papillary thyroid cancer, I finally said “enough is enough.” I began to investigate the various synergies between holistic (natural, dietary, physiological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, creative) and conventional medical approaches. While a number of successful treatments arose from a naturopathic doctor’s recommendations, surgery was also necessary to remove the cancer.  

​​​

As I battled with my own health issues, I unfortunately witnessed several family members suffer due to inadequate healthcare provisions. Both my aunt's thyroid cancer, under conventional care, and my mother's lung cancer, under holistic care, went undiagnosed, leading to severe health issues and their untimely passing. Had they each embraced both forms of healthcare, their stories may have had very different endings. I quickly learned that proactive health management, rooted in self-advocacy and informed choices, is essential for achieving better outcomes.

​

These insights drive my commitment as a freelance medical writer to champion evidence-based, patient-centered healthcare information. By producing compelling content and advocating for best practices, I aim to influence healthcare policies and improve care delivery for women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people in other marginalized groups, ensuring that all patients receive the dignified and effective treatment they deserve.
