Western University of Health Sciences

It's sports medicine.

It's getting people back on their feet, quite literally." So podiatry was everything that I was looking for, and I ended up applying to podiatric medical school, where I went to Western University of Health Sciences in California in the United States.

And now I have the pleasure of being here in Indiana for my residency training under Dr.

De Heer.

She began building her public presence when she was just an optometry student using a community website, I am Nadia, as an honest diary of training, uncertainty, and professional growth.

She earned her OD from Western University of Health Sciences, a master's degree from Berry University, and a bachelor's degree from University of Central Florida.

Her training included private practice, combined optometry-ophthalmology settings, Veterans Affairs Hospital, and Indian Health Service hospitals.

In 2022, iCare Business named her a game changer.

I'm a co-host of the show and associate professor of poultry nutrition at Auburn University and joined today by a colleague from across the U.S. in California, Dr. Brian Oakley, who has a very interesting background as a microbial ecologist, expert in the microbiome, in several different contexts.

And he's currently working as a professor at Western University of Health Sciences in the College of Vet Medicine in Pomona, California.

So Brian, good to meet you today.

And I look forward to our conversation.

I'm Anita Nelson, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Western University of Health Sciences, an emeritus professor of OBGYN at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and adjunct professor of OBGYN at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.

I'm also medical director of research for essential access health.

But I'm here with you today to go over the robust research, the clinical studies, and the peer-reviewed data that we have that substantiate the effectiveness of natural cycles.
