My story
The first and most important step to health is to choose ourselves and to believe that 'I' am worth fighting for.
I've lived with idiopathic chronic pain and health anomalies for more than half my life, but it wasn't until I became my own greatest health advocate that anything changed. I got tired of hearing the same thing: all tests showed I was in "normal range" so there wasn't an explanation for what I was experiencing. This sparked my journey to finding my own answers. Along the way, I picked up the following:
● B.S. Microbiology
● Doctor of Pharmacy
● Master-Level Nutrition Consultant
● MCC Medical Cannabis Practitioner
● Holy Fire® Reiki Level II Practitioner
● MKC Level I Raw Cuisine Graduate
● Masters of Traditional Oriental Medicine Student
● Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT®) Level II
CREDENTIALS
HOW IT STARTED
After graduating with honors from Washington State University College of Pharmacy in 2011, I've worked multiple niches of pharmacy, including but not limited to, retail, hospice, long-term care, compounding, pet care, and regulatory policy.
Over the years, my frustration working in the pharmacy industry grew. I was scolded by managers for teaching patients how to make dietary and lifestyle changes, rather than focusing on increasing prescription counts. I fought with futility as the epidemic of opiate abuse, addiction, overdose, and under-treated patients swept the nation. I watched as many of my patients' conditions worsened over the years along with their medication burdens. The worst was encountering patients who believed that illness was their fate and had completely given up on themselves and their health.
All the while, I developed expertise in nutrition, biohacking and mind-body connection through research and self-experimentation. Integrating the holistic, proactive approaches allowed me to manage symptoms and heal myself, using medications only on rare occasions.

WHERE I'VE BEEN AND SEEN
Health and vitality is not only possible, it's a birthright. Optimal health is the culmination of choices that we make every single day, but you can't initiate changes if you don't know where to start, stop, or continue. My intention behind the offerings on this site -- my services and blog (called Prescriptions) -- is to serve as an advocate and guide as you navigate towards your highest health.
I will share with you what I've learned up to now. Over the next few years as I earn my Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine, the content will evolve to integrate the newly acquired methods of healing. I'll be presenting material as a healer and health care practitioner without the "white coat," so expect that the content may be more personal than "typically" professional. Finally, I will warn you upfront that my musings, methods, and insights may be far from conventional.
If you decide to tune in, I hope you gain insights that expand your mind, tools that enhance your health, laughter that lightens the soul, inspiration so deep it causes you to move, and most of all, reconnection and reverence with the home of a body you get to live in each day.
With love,
Dr Jane Hong
