“I feel it’s important that the public understand how much of their physical and mental health depend on common sense approaches to proper nutrition and fitness.  For many people, there is this belief, furthered by a great deal of money spent by large, global companies, that more complex and invasive drugs, devices and surgeries will help us…when in fact, it’s these very same products that do some of the worst harm.

Donna lives in Sacramento and enjoys her role as a public advocate for health and nutrition.  She has a doctor of chiropractic from the National College of Chiropractic, as well as masters and bachelors degrees in nutrition from Northern Illinois State University.
