-Dr. Florelle Hobson
I'm Dr. Florelle Hobson and I strongly believe that the pathway to achieving optimal health and wellness is rooted in partnership and empowerment rather than prescriptions and pills. For me, healthcare isn't just about treating symptoms; it's about empowering you to live your most vibrant life. After graduating medical school in 2014, I worked in hospital and community settings, and it was there I witnessed the incredible distress caused by chronic diseases. In 2018, I worked with three patients who changed my life and my outlook. Together we discovered how simple daily decisions could profoundly affect health, in their case, by reversing new-onset Type 2 Diabetes. Since then, I've been writing 'prescriptions' for lifestyle, not just pills.
