A Board-Certified MD Who Was Tired of Treating Symptoms – How Dr. Roxanne Found the Education Her Medical Degree Never Gave Her
Her medical degree taught her to manage disease. HMI taught her to heal it.
Before
A physician who couldn't heal herself.
Dr. Roxanne Smith had spent her career treating the body she couldn't yet feed properly. She was a board-certified MD trained in allopathic medicine. She knew how to write prescriptions. She knew how to manage symptoms. She was good at it.
But she was also honest enough to admit what her training had never given her: a real education in nutrition. The science of how to feed the body so it could thrive, not just survive. The protocol for getting to the root of what her patients were experiencing, rather than suppressing what the body was trying to say.
She had watched her patients suffer. She had also suffered herself – searching for optimal health for as long as she could remember, trying every approach, finding nothing that worked long-term. In 2013, a social media post by Liana Shanti changed that.
The Work
The science her medical education never offered.
Dr. Roxanne enrolled in Liana's 66 Day Health Mastery Cleanse protocol. For the first time, she did a juice fast, gave up all meat and dairy, and implemented a fully organic, plant-based diet. The changes were dramatic and life-changing.
That was the beginning. She continued studying. She enrolled in HMI. She pursued what her medical education had never offered her: the science, the protocols, and the framework to make changes that actually healed and supported the body for optimal health.
She healed her candida. She controlled her hypertension through lifestyle and diet alone. She eliminated depression. She resolved her disruptive sleep patterns. She came off all medications. She had been a doctor for years. She had never been this well.
After
A better physician and a stronger, freer person.
Dr. Roxanne is still a physician. But she is a different kind of physician than she was. She integrates the plant-based science, the spiritual coaching, and the mental health work she developed through HMI into everything she does with her clients.
She is strong, filled with energy, grounded in her faith, clear in her boundaries. She no longer takes any medications. Her hypertension is controlled by lifestyle and diet. She no longer suffers from depression or disruptive sleep.
