Dr Jess finished medical school in 2006 after graduating from the University of Louisville and began internal medicine residency thereafter. During this time, she experienced mounting anxiety, hormonal imbalances and adrenal dysfunction due to her long hours and demanding schedule. She also observed that many of her patients never improved and often became a revolving door of admissions in the hospital. In 2012, after health issues began to worsen, Dr Jess had a personal awakening. She began to realize that allopathic medicine did not have all the answers she was so earnestly seeking. She then sought training in the world of holistic healing, energy work, nutrigenomics, stem cells, cannabis, and Gerson therapy. Her philosophy now embodies true health as being all encompassing of mind, body and spirit. Dr Jess has her own line of wildcrafted herbal supplements for chronic everyday conditions and is founder and chief medical officer of DrJess.com.
