After years of health issues plaguing her family, Dr. Ellen wanted to understand the underlying causes rather than just treat the symptoms. Through addressing root issues with appropriate diet, nutritional supplementation, optimizing detoxification, and making lifestyle improvements, Dr. Ellen was able to reverse her diagnosis of Lupus, an autoimmune condition, as well as heal from chronic infections. She was also able to improve behavioral concerns and academic weaknesses in several of her children and restore health to all of her family members.
Dr. Ellen and Dr. Scott are experts in identifying and treating environmental toxicities, chronic infections, and complex medical conditions. Their personal experiences with cancer, autoimmune disease, various infections, mold illness, chronic inflammation, hormone imbalances, PANDAS/PANS, genetic variants and nutrient deficiencies as well as their experience as board-certified Emergency Medicine physicians have given them unique training and perspective not found elsewhere. They are known as the ‘Swiss-Army knives of doctors.’
One of their mottos is “95% isn’t good enough.” They give 100% effort and strive for 100% answers and results.
Friends and other family members noticed the significant improvements in their health and requested a consultation. In 2011, Vine Healthcare® was officially founded.
Dr. Ellen and Dr. Scott are committed to and passionate about partnering with patients on their journey to optimal wellness. Their goal is to empower others with the knowledge of how to best care for their own bodies. Both Dr. Ellen and Dr. Scott love to educate others, including other practitioners, on how to help others become Fully Functional ® for life. Additionally, they are both always learning and adding additional certifications.
