Dr. Myrto Angela Ashe is an MD and MPH who originally trained and practiced as a family physician for 20 years in community health centers across Massachusetts, California, and Colorado. After witnessing the limitations of conventional medicine in improving symptoms for a close family member, she began studying alternatives to medications. In 2007, the compelling and near-immediate improvement in health for herself and her family led her to reorient her entire practice around functional medicine.
