Summary

Dr. Lindsey Elmore is a former pharmacist, author, speaker, podcaster, and network marketing leader with a knack for cutting through the confusion and sharing the truth about the myriad of health and wellness choices available. She shares her passion for natural wellness on stages around the world and reaches countless others through her lively social media platforms. We talk about her journey into, and away from, traditional medicine – inspired by her own patient’s journey after tearing her ACL. Leaning into non-traditional practices, she became an expert on the history of both branches of wellness, those defined as “medicine” in 1906, and the expansive natural world of “everything else”. We dabble all over the spectrum in this one, going from the recorded history of pharmacy and healthcare into more modern issues seen in marketing, dosages, drug pricing, evidence-based research, and so much more. Dr. Lindsey is a vibrant truth teller, a guest who’s energy and inspiration for the subject matter can be seen, felt, and heard in every word she speaks. We’re so thankful she took the time to educate our community today on so many important, and overlooked, issues.
