MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes.
This week on MD for Moms, I’ll be interviewing Dr. Heather Hammerstedt, founder of Wholist Health and co-founder and executive director of Global Emergency Care. Dr. Hammerstedt will explain how tailoring medical care through a lifestyle medical approach as she has established at Wholist Health leads to improved health and wellness. She is a Health Curator – not sure what that means? Listen to the show to learn how Dr. Hammerstedt has crafted a unique role within medicine that places the patient in the driver’s seat to obtain optimal care without needing to do all the research alone. This is a really interesting and exciting approach to medical care that will hopefully be modeled more in the future, and we will hear about it first hand.
In addition to her groundbreaking work at Wholist Health, Dr Hammerstedt has also started a non-profit called Global Emergency Care (GEC) that has changed countless lives by training non-physician clinicians to provide life-saving medical care to people living in Uganda who otherwise do not have access to the healthcare many of us take for granted. We will learn the history behind GEC, their mission and how to get involved to support this incredible group.
