ABOUT

I'm Dr Erin Hope

I grew up in a conventional, medically-minded household. We ate a standard American diet. I was overweight, broken-out, with heavy, painful periods. The gynaecologist rotated me through birth controls, my dermatologist put me on some of the strongest medications on the market, the local pharmacist recommended the harshest facials washes on the shelf. I was put on Weight Watchers and Atkins diets. 

Not once did anyone ever speak to me about gut health, or a whole foods diet, or hormone balance, or optimizing my body to function as it was designed to. 

Within 6 months, I was on my way to becoming a doctor of chiropractic. 

What i learned 

our bodies are brilliant machines designed to survive in the environment around it. We need to support it and then get out of its way. 

Everything was a bandaid solution. And nothing worked long term. 

At the age of 20, I was not confident in my own skin, making poor choices with alcohol and eating fast food for every meal.

My first pivotal moment came when I landed an ocean lifeguarding gig. It transformed my fitness level and confidence in body image. I slowly started to make improvements in my eating habits and incorporated running into weekly practice. Then, about a month away from my second half-marathon, I was knocked to the ground with a back injury. 

When I quickly recovered with the help from the chiropractor down the road, it was the ultimate epiphany: I wanted to help people avoid unnecessary suffering.
