One Woman's Healing Jouney Closes A Vast Gap in Medicine

There are times when no matter how ill we are, repeated visits to the doctor reveal that "nothing is wrong." This was the case for Jennifer Crisp, an RN who had previously been a firm believer in the modality that was ultimately letting her down. In this episode, Jennifer shares the strange set of circumstances that led her to seek the help of a naturopath in treating what he finally determined to be Chronic Lyme Disease, a debilitating condition that at the time was still not recognized as a legitimate illness. Jennifer's healing journey opened her eyes to the benefits of alternative medical practices and she now advocates education for healthcare practitioners about a more integrated holistic approach to health and wellness.

Jennifer Crisp is a Registered Nurse and a certified Whole Health Educator^TM. She is also a speaker and the founder of A Bridge To Wholeness. Her passion for health and wellness came about after years of suffering until a naturopath diagnosed her with Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD). Jennifer realized that she was crossing the bridge from traditional medicine into the world of a more integrative, holistic program, and after two years of working with the naturopath and seeing her conventional medicine doctor when necessary, her CLD resolved. She encourages healthcare providers to bridge the gap between the traditional western practice of medicine and the world of holistic alternative medicine at the intersection of health and wellness.

"Opening someone's mind to accept a different way of thinking is such a powerful tool to be able to move us into taking responsibility for our lives and our health."
