Isla Backus

I am a wellness consultant and an educator. I have a passion for holistic solutions to health issues, combined with a healthy skepticism that comes from a lifetime of growing up in our traditional medical system. I am a doctor's daughter with a masters degree in healthcare administration. When my brother was struck down with debilitating illness for which the doctors had no solution, I turned to non-invasive wellness products to supplement their treatment programs. Seeing him returned to health and independent living triggered my commitment to ongoing research into scientifically-based, holistic solutions for health and wellness. My goal is to help others weed through the multitude of advertised products - to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak! - and to inform them of the science that underlies various products and modalities for healthy living.
