General Info
"I have been a nurse for over 15 years, but a few years ago, I became a patient myself. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had no family history and was very shocked at the news. As I began my treatment with chemotherapy and planned for surgery, I began researching what my risk factors could be or more importantly, why did this happen to me. Once I began searching, I learned that so many things in our modern society are carcinogenic or disrupt our immune system in some way. I was also now on more medicines than I had ever been on in my life, none of which were to treat cancer, which was now, thankfully, in remission. I was being treated with omeprazole for gastric reflux. I was also started on testosterone for my symptoms of insomnia, depression and low libido. Along with the testosterone, I was taking a statin drug to control my cholesterol. While I was grateful to be in remission from cancer, I did not want to be taking all these other medications for the rest of my life. Therefore, I began trying to follow a cleaner diet by trying to eliminate processed foods and refined sugar as well as taking probiotics. I also learned I had obstructive sleep apnea, which was exacerbating my reflux and chronic tension headaches. Once I began treatment for my obstructive sleep breathing, my headaches and sleep quality improved. Slowly, I began feeling better and was able to stop the medicine for my gastric reflux. I was not comfortable with taking testosterone or any other medications unless my life depended on it. I have been much more aware of the choices that I make every day that will impact my health. I also am trying to lead by example for the rest of my family as well as my friends and patients. I am now passionate about trying to help others understand the importance of their diet and lifestyle choices on not only their immediate health, but long term to prevent chronic illness and the damage that they can do to our bodies."

Provided by Doctor.comMichelle took the time to understand my concerns, address my specific questions, and she listened. I didn't feel like I got put on some cookie cutter plan (which lets be honest even happens in Naturopath environments), and she wasn't afraid to refer me to another NP because my specific issues were out of her speciality.

Provided by Doctor.comMichelle is very knowledgeable and caring. She has, from the first time I met her, listened to my concerns and let me be part of my care. She knows and respects my training as a functional nutritionist and the ability I have to buy wholesale supplements from professional accounts I have. I feel like Michelle is a partner in my health care and I respect her guidance.

I feel complete trust in her and the health plan she recommends. She explains every option well and I appreciate her giving me options to choose from that will best suit my lifestyle.
I am so grateful for NP Michelle Rodriguez.
