About me

As you can see from my website name, I’m a “kinda” crunchy pharmd. So, what does that mean exactly? Well, pharmd is short for Doctor of Pharmacy. I’ve been a pharmacist for nearly 2 decades and have learned some valuable life lessons along the way. I was of course schooled in modern medicine, but through living and learning and some health issues of my own, I started researching and realized there was another path to take. The eye opening moment was when I heard the phrase, “inflammation is the root of all disease.” I won’t dive deep into that right now because this is an introduction, but that is where my fork in the road began.

Here in lies crunchy, which the meaning comes from the term “crunchy granola,” associated with a “hippie” or natural-living subculture. Lastly, the “kinda” means I make better, safer and more natural choices for my family but I don’t claim to be 100% free from modern medicine, food and product choices that aren’t completely free of all harmful additives. Because let’s be honest, in American culture today, that’s almost impossible. That being said, I try to make better choices for my family, while sharing my tried and true products so I can hopefully help you on your way to becoming “kinda” crunchy too.
