Audrey Sommerfeld’s journey into healthcare began with a strong desire to help people through natural solutions. While working in the pharmaceutical industry, she witnessed firsthand the side effects of medications. She realized that while individual drugs are studied for safety, the interactions between multiple drugs are not always well understood due to the sheer complexity of combinations. This became a personal issue when her mother experienced side effects from multiple medications. Audrey saw an opportunity to make a difference through nutrition, which plays a vital role in blood sugar control, hunger management, fat burning, memory, mood, and digestion.
