About Whitney Young
I’m Whitney. I haven’t always been this smiley. I haven’t always been so optimistic…
About 15 years ago I decided to start naturopathic medical school to learn as much as I could about natural health in order to help people feel better. I loved that my visits with patients were longer. That I had the time to LISTEN to ALL of their problems. I loved that I could pair my love of nature with health care. I was also given the opportunity to work on the pediatric intern shift in my last year of school. I have always loved working with kids.
During my time at naturopathic college, I distinctly remember listening to a radio show while getting ready to study for yet another exam. They were talking about the ACEs Study – ACE stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. This list of bad stuff that happens during childhood dramatically changes the course of children’s lives, their long-term health, and ultimately their survival.
