Heidi has a strong medical foundation in emergency medicine and primary care.   After completing her IFMCP training in 2015, Heidi worked and studied with an epigenetic expert in a health optimization practice and solidified her skills in epigenetics, bio-identical hormones, thyroid support, dietary optimization and coaching many on their wellness journey.
