This event has been moved from April 15, 2021.
In this Alumnae Association webinar, Dr. Julia Ward '90 discusses health and immunity, and shares considerations for wellness based on her more than two decades of medical experience. She touches upon the state of the American healthcare system -- issues and alternative options.
Dr. Ward is a champion for the healthcare of busy, stressed out moms. Her own issues with hormone imbalance and chronic fatigue spurred her to complete a study of functional medicine. This is a more holistic way of approaching health that looks for the root causes of symptoms rather than just treating a diagnosis with a prescription. As a working mom with five kids, she knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed with fatigue, stress and other changes that happen with age. Dr. Ward has been able to bring balance to her own health as well as to those of hundreds of her patients. She completed her fellowship with the Metabolic Medicine Institute (also known as A4M) and continues to study with the Institute for Functional Medicine, the International Peptide Society, and a variety of other organizations and functional labs. She graduated medical school from the University of Southern California and has been practicing medicine for over twenty-five years.
