My name is Mariana and I’m a mom of three who currently lives in western TN. Originally from Argentina, in 1998 I received a medical degree from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. My first job as a physician was in the Emergency Department of a local hospital. It was around this time that I met my husband. A few years later, we moved to the northwestern part of the United States and started a family. Since then, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the blessing of being a stay at home mom and raising my beautiful sons and daughter.
While I haven’t practiced medicine in the US, I continue to help Argentinians through a teledoc-style system. And since the pandemic, I’ve helped hundreds of people recover from various illnesses and afflictions, including the dreaded virus. One of my favorite past-times is pouring over the latest research in the world of natural remedies and supplements.
When I’m not researching or helping people in their health journey, I spend time working out, experimenting with healthy recipes, gardening, and well, who am I kidding, I research more.
How did I get here?
I have a medical background in conventional, western medicine but it was during the recent pandemic, and as a result of several chronic issues, that I started digging into research about alternative modalities to treat my illness. As a result of an undetected viral infection, I was dealing with chronic tinnitus (ringing in my ears), heart palpitations (my heart drumming like a marching base drum at night), random skin rashes, and a general intolerance to many foods. The list goes on and on and on, but I won’t bore you with the details. Needless to say, I tried all of the conventional pathways: doctor visits, blood tests, medications, more blood tests. I tried for months and found little to no relief.
That’s when I started thinking, “there must be a better way.” My diet was good. I was in great shape. But I was missing the big picture. I found research papers and doctors both in the U.S. and abroad that were helping people with ailments similar to my own. I spent months, almost two years actually, investigating and trying anything and everything that made sense. I’ve learned more about physiological processes, nutrition, supplementation, and much more than I ever learned in medical school.
My path has been long and arduous and I want to save you from that. I have developed plans of action, to help with so many different things. As a result, as I mentioned above, I’ve helped hundreds of people recover not only from acute viral infections but many chronic issues for which they’d all but given up ever finding answers or relief.
My PHILOSOPHY
I see each person as a whole. We have many organs and systems and when one is comprised it affects the balance of everything, the other parts of the system. The conventional approach is to throw a bag of chemicals at the symptoms, often without considering underlying causes. While this may give the short-term illusion that all is well, those issues usually return, often with a vengeance or even bearing gifts (new problems). This is why I work to identify and correct the root cause of your problem, not focus only on the symptoms.
My approach is multifaceted. With a combination of supplements, vitamins, herbs, and diet, I believe a body’s imbalance can be restored and the systems and organs can once again work together in harmony. I’ve seen it, over and over.
I hope you’ll decide to work with me.
