Who is Cynthia Thurlow? She has worked in clinical medicine, both in the ER and cardiology, for nearly 20 years. Although she respects the power of conventional medicine to treat disease and save lives, she began to think more about the root causes of chronic health issues. Soon, she recognized the powerful relationship between food and her patients’ health and wellness. This led her to do advanced training in nutrition and functional testing so I could help others enjoy optimal health before they needed emergency care.

 

She is currently a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting and nutrition expert, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She is passionate about helping women find wellness through the healing power of nutrition and fasting. She believes it is possible to feel better tomorrow than you do today and wants to equip you to experience that freedom!
