Deborah Gordon, MD

Despite excellent academic training in “interventional medicine”, my practice has always focused on preventive medicine and gentle correctional measures designed to regain health rather than drugs which may relieve symptoms, but only confuse issues of true health. I start with nutritional evaluation and recommendations, focusing on nutrient dense choices and careful food preparation. I also rely on homeopathic and hormonal evaluation and treatment where there are existing health problems.

I am eager to focus more on the lifestyle lessons to be learned from Ancestral and Primal studies, specifically in the areas of health sleep, exercise, physical flexibility, and stress-reduction.

Beverly MeyerBeverly Meyer

I became a client of Holistic Health in the 1970′s and been passionate about it ever since. My podcasts on dozens of Natural Health topics can be found on iTunes at “Primal Diet – Modern Health” or on my website.

“Food First” is my motto and the intro to all my radio shows. Start with a commitment to food, and then we work on changing over-committed life schedules and getting the right supplements and hormones in place.
