In this episode I am joined by the owner and creator of The Vitamin Bar, Shayreen. After learning more about her educational and professional background, we discuss chronic disease, personal responsibility, accountability, eastern and western cultural differences, QUITTERS, big pharma, food, building confidence through competence, personal fulfillment and contentment, as well as Shay’s passions and motivations in becoming a Psych Nurse Practitioner.
