Future

Before becoming a student at Kaplan University, I felt that there was a need to assist individuals with health and wellness issues. This feeling was inspired by my Mom, Sue. Mom has chronic health problems and was always told to eat right, to exercise, to take this or that medication, yet was never really shown how to eat and prepare her foods correctly, was never shown what exercises would benefit her the most, was never given counseling to help her adjust to her illness. Many times she was prescribed medicines that she was allergic to or was already taken in other medicines and was over-medicated. I can't count the times that she has been overmedicated. From living through this with her made me realize that individuals need help. They can not always afford to go to a nutritionist, hire a personal trainer or have access to check their medications to ensure they are not over-medicated or consuming foods, or items that may interact with their medicines. I feel that by starting my business Your Home, Your Health will allow those individuals the opportunity to learn how to begin taking better care of themselves and become proactive in their health care by visiting them in their homes and allowing them access to a staff of knowledgable professionals that can assist with not only contemporary protocols of handling the symptoms, but also allow them the opportunity to heal their mind and spirit.
