I’m Megan, founder of Holistic WellCare.

My journey with health began from eating and living however I wanted to getting two debilitating autoimmune diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis and Connective Tissue Disease).

Healing from autoimmunity made me realize how critical it is to eat quality food, support the body’s detoxification systems, use root cause labwork, and nontoxic living.

The foundation of my education was studying wildlife diseases that can infect humans at Colorado State University. I then switched to human health and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of West Florida. I previously worked as a Registered Nurse for 1o years in clinical and hospital settings.

Despite my formal education, my best teacher was actually from the experience of losing my health and then learning how to regain it again. I remember the critical moment when the life-altering epiphany struck me: the body can heal itself when you take the time to decipher what the symptoms mean, which only a root-cause Functional Medicine approach can provide.

Instead of fixating on a diagnosis, treating symptoms, and “managing” diseases, you must find the root causes of your autoimmune disease in order to reduce and eliminate symptoms. A root cause approach is what the body needs to move back towards health.

Western medicine certainly shines in specific areas and functional medicine shines in others. What a remarkable system we would have if they joined together in pursuit of helping people heal.
