Luann Hoover
Integrative Health Practitioner
Luann began her healing journey with a focus on protecting the environment as an environmental lawyer. She shifted her focus to protecting her 2-year-old daughter when she was diagnosed with autism. Luann learned that autism doesn’t just affect the brain, but it also affects the body. Through her journey with her daughter, Luann learned about digestion and toxins and used diets, supplements, and detoxification protocols to improve her daughter’s health, digestion, and ability to concentrate.
Luann began to focus on healing herself when her own health suffered from the continuous stress of helping her daughter. Luann researched detoxification, diet, and longevity protocols and adopted new habits to improve her health. Luann received an Integrative Health Practitioner Level 1 Certification and is currently pursuing her Level 2 Certification from Dr. Stephen Cabral, a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and Ayurvedic, Functional Medicine, and Integrative Health Practitioner.
