Dr. Kathia Roberts
Physician Heal Thyself” is among Dr. Roberts' guiding principles, which have propelled her on this journey to optimal health and wellness. She often declares that we were not created with a dysfunctional bodies and that we are not defined by our diagnoses. True healing comes from within, along with the assistance of nature’s pharmacy.
Dr. Roberts was diagnosed with a debilitating disorder and “labeled” with depression. She was also misdiagnosed with Tourette Syndrome when she was only a teenager, leading doctors to prescribe a handful of drugs, which she was told she would need for the rest of her life. She also struggled with obesity, bulimia, dyslexia, migraines, constipation, spastic colon and IBS from many fad diet obsessions.
Dr. Roberts was stuck in a negative, self-destructive pattern, over indulging in comfort foods and eating disorders, until she came to the revelation that her body needed to be whole. She made it a lifetime passion to acquire the proper clinical knowledge and credentials to best serve you in your quest for health.
