Notes

• What Makes This Practice Special: Dr. Arce (ND, cAK) stands out with 17+ years experience, Peruvian heritage-influenced nutritional anthropology, and rejection of symptom-chasing protocols. Her terrain model empowers clients tired of ‘wellness culture’ and disillusioned doctors, focusing on body’s innate intelligence, elements (soil, sun, air, water), and root causes over pathogens. Credentials include UBCNM doctorate, AHG registered herbalist, NASM personal trainer. Unique integrations: Microzyma research, Bigelsen Academy teachings. Testimonials praise life-saving results (e.g., avoiding surgery, healing family chronic issues). Emphasizes education (‘docere’ - to teach), sustainable living, and anti-misinformation stance. Forthcoming courses and book expand reach.
