A twenty-year career as an obstetrician/gynecologist, delivereing precious babies at all hours of the day and night, doling out advice to women from all walks of life, treating illnesses, and giving doses of encouragement for living.
At the age of fifty, Dr Vickie was stronger and more fit than ever. Living her life in high gear, neglecting sleep and rest. Then, a rare neuromuscular disease called myasthenia gravis brought her life to a screeching halt.
Becoming a patient, Dr Vickie gained new insight, perspective, and tested her own advice. After surgery and intense medical treatment, she regained her health. Then came a borderline diabetes diagnosis, prompting lifestyle changes and igniting a passion for the power of lifestyle changes.
While Dr Vickie’s Christian faith was a solid foundation in her journey to health, she had a lot to learn about eating, sleeping, and managing stress. Now working in the field of lifestyle medicine, which emphasizes the importance of taking care of the whole body.
Now, as energized and healthy as ever before, Dr Vickie helps people adopt the six pillars of lifestyle medicine in their own lives. Whether you’re trying to prevent disease, treat a condition, or live with a chronic illness, lifestyle medicine can help you feel better.
