About Carmen Adams
​
After dealing with a diverse amount of various health issues in her own life such as acne, weight gain, anxiety, depression, reproductive issues stemming from the use of birth control, digestive issues & food allergies; she became her first client. Being naturally drawn to holistic solutions, she began to greatly improve the quality of her own life using this Herbs / Nutrition, Mindfulness and Science.
In September of 2015 a close family member had a stroke. Carmen decided to not only be an additional Provider for this person but also their Caregiver. Neither of these decisions were an easy feat seeing that this event turned her life upside down. The knowledge in Cardiovascular Disease, Type II Diabetes & Digestive Wellness had allowed Carmen to effectively communicate with her family members doctors and nurses in order to safely introduce a natural approach to healing from varying modalities. The progress Carmen's family member has made so far is showing great promise in the effectiveness of her assistance. She has gone from needing 13 different prescribed medications to ZERO.
