Memorable Quotes

"The exposure and access to practitioners of color who, you know, are doing cool things and making waves in medicine, it's just needed. It really is needed. It is needed for us to have a space and a circle and an environment for the functional medicine and the integrative and alternative holistic practitioners of color who are practicing medicine and health in a way that affects their community and the community at large." [00:03:52] – Lauren Powers

"When you are able to practice medicine the way that you feel it in your heart and soul, and your message is getting out to the right people, this is just the time. Everybody's trying to heal. And everybody is trying to find their path to wellness and longevity. And damn it, if we can't put these people in the forefront, I mean, what are we doing? We're doing something. Well, that's what we're doing." [00:18:30] – Lauren Powers
