I’m Kristen, a mom, a wife, a pharmacist, and lover of the outdoors. I have my doctorate in pharmacology from USC (fight on), a masters in Health Care Decision Analysis from USC, and a bachelors in Food Science Technology from Oregon State (Go Beavs). I also have a board specialty certification in geriatric pharmacy which means I have in depth insight on how the body changes as we get older and how we can ease these changes with some personal TLC. My job as a clinical pharmacist is to understand the ins and outs of human physiology, how substances (such as drugs, food, or chemicals) affect the body, how the body affects these substances, and how multiple substances within the body affect each other. This knowledge helps me understand the body as a whole and how the smallest changes can damage our body. My education in food science combined with my understanding of physiology give me a unique perspective on how the modern day diet and food processing is interacting with the human body and, well, killing us. In my career as a pharmacist I've discovered that the gut is the centerpiece of our health. A damaged gut can lead to pain, discomfort, and disease and a healed gut can improve all aspects of health. After meeting with me and following my guidance many of my patients have lessened their medications, become symptom free and even stated they feel better than they ever have! With my book, Guide Your Gut, I'm able to reach more people and help them heal their painful digestive symptoms. To learn more, check out MedFreePharmD.
