Imagine being a young and rising emergency room physician when you start to notice alarming changes in your own body- including chest pains and stiff, painful joints. 

At the age of 36, Dr. Chris Miller started experiencing these and other symptoms and her subsequent bloodwork lit up with many autoimmune markers,  including systemic lupus. Her body was literally on fire from the inside out.

Dr. Miller played the long game with her health.  She knew that a whole food plant-based diet was the best path, but it took time to figure out what worked best for her and her healing journey certainly wasn't linear.

Today, Dr. Miller practices telemedicine where she is well equipped to uncover the many nuances of autoimmune disease and get her patients on their own paths back to health.

As she says, "Even though that path may not be easy, it’s always worth it."
