"People come to me after they've been to other doctors, failed at fad diets, and have been in pain for so long they've forgotten what it's like to wake up in the morning feeling well. They've all but given up. So they're shocked when they leave my office not with a list of prescriptions or an impossible diet regimen, but with a sense of hope, maybe a nutritional product or two to support their growth toward wellness. Because being well is what it's all about."

Dr. Betty has been at the helm of a thriving chiropractic and nutrition practice for 20 years, working with thousands of patients from Southern California and around the country.

"I saw physicians putting patients on all kinds of drugs, that eased their pain somewhat, but never really addressed their underlying disorders, and burdened the patients with side effects that were sometimes as bad as the pain itself. " While chiropractic care helps many of Dr. Betty's patients suffering from neck and back injury, sports injury and chronic headaches, there were a number for whom the underlying problem ran deeper. "It's time we doctors, both M.D.s and Chiropractors, started looking at whole people instead of a list of complaints. It's time we started rebuilding their health at a cellular level."

Her challenge to new patients is a simple one:

"Let me be your coach. Health from the inside out is what you'll achieve. No drugs, no invasive treatments. Essential Health is a safe place. Know right up front that this is no miracle cure. You won't lose 10 pounds in 2 days like the billboards for unhealthy diet products advertise or be totally free from all health issues in one visit. But if you give it your best, I will too. The process will be exciting, and when we get where we're headed, you'll be the best that you can be!"
