Wondering how a life-threatening allergy diagnosis can reshape a medical philosophy? Learn how lifestyle as medicine informs women’s health advocacy and deeper healing.
On Optimize WE, Lindsay O'Neill-O'Keefe sits down with nurse practitioner-turned-wellness pioneer Cynthia Thurlow to discuss her path from cardiology and emergency medicine to lifestyle as medicine. Cynthia shares how her son’s life-threatening allergy diagnosis reshaped her medical philosophy, including the harrowing story of his anaphylactic reaction on his first night of college. She also discusses her evolution into a TEDx speaker and podcast host, empowering women through perimenopause and menopause, parenting teens in a digital world, and challenging outdated health paradigms.
