I'MÂ DR.DANA
 a passionate educator, visionary, and advocate for personal empowerment and holistic wellness. With over 30 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner in Family and Internal Medicine, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals uncover the root causes of their health challenges.
As a retired Clinical Associate Professor from Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, I integrated the roles of teacher, researcher, and clinician to “walk my talk.” While deeply fulfilling, I found this traditional model unsustainable. Medicine today is not built on health but on maintaining the status quo of disease management.
Now, I focus on empowering individuals to take control of their health through plant-based remedies, alternative approaches, and education. My voice is a "Wake Up Call" to rethink the way we approach healthcare.

MY STORY
Â
My journey into holistic wellness and plant medicine began with a deep dissatisfaction in the traditional medical system. My research in psychoneuroimmunology highlighted the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit, and how belief systems influence our ability to embrace change and improve health outcomes.
During my career, I owned and operated my own cash-based practice, utilizing a Functional Medicine approach to uncover underlying imbalances in my patients. Combining herbs, essential oils, and plant-based remedies, I helped restore health and vitality for many.
But I realized that the current medical system disempowers its members—patients and clinicians alike. In my practice, I challenged this system by systematically reducing patients’ dependence on pharmaceuticals and addressing root causes. Yet I knew I was in the wrong industry.
Over the past seven years, I have stepped out of traditional medicine and immersed myself in medical cannabis education and advocacy. As a trained clinician in addiction medicine, I once believed in the stigma surrounding cannabis, considering it a gateway drug. Now, I’ve done a complete 180-degree turn and am a passionate proponent of plant-based medicine.
I’ve lectured extensively on cannabis topics in 55+ communities, helping individuals overcome the stigma and lies they’ve been told about this powerful plant. My mission is to empower people to embrace alternative solutions that promote healthy aging, wellness, and independence.
It’s time we wake up, take back our healthcare, and reclaim control. That means becoming your own health advocate, considering alternative solutions, and doing your own research.
The patient belongs in the driver’s seat!
