Bone Health, Stress & Well-Being Online Workshop

Dr. Caroline Wheeler

Dr. Caroline Wheeler is a functional medicine doctor working in Nelson and Mapua. Her focus is on finding and treating the root cause of dis-ease rather than elimination of symptoms. For the last few years she has been doing a deep dive into the causes of osteoporosis and how to reverse this condition naturally with lifestyle changes, nutrition, yoga and exercise depending on severity using medication with the least possible side effects. In this exploration she came across the fascinating work of psychiatrist Dr Loren Fishman and his use of yoga to improve bone strength.
