What actually started her journey was a growing concern with her own health and wellbeing. She sought care from multiple conventional doctors because she “never felt well.” Some basic labs, if any, were run and she was told she was fine, there was nothing wrong. Over and over she heard, “why don’t you just lose some weight and exercise?” “Much to the doctor’s dismay, I was working out 6-7 days per week and had turned vegan in thoughts that this would solve the issues I was facing. I was tired ALL. THE. TIME, my cycles were super heavy and lasted 10-12 days,” she said. “I was never happy. I did not feel like going to do anything in fear I would get sick and have to use the bathroom in a hurry. In the end I was prescribed antidepressants over and over again. I tried all different types and they all made me feel worse. I felt like a zombie. It was like everything was in fast forward passing me by and I couldn’t keep up. My body was so worn down, I was not receiving the right nutrients or minerals I needed from my so called “healthy” dietary choices. Eventually after dealing with this poor existence I started looking into herbs – remember back at the library? Using the Dewey decimal system” Yeah, that way! I started reading everything I could about a more holistic way of living. Little did I know at that time I would eventually become a doctor to help others the experience much of what I did. I no longer wanted to take a pill I had no idea about that left me in bed for days. I was sick of the feeling that this was it and I was only in my early 20s. I was worried, scared, frightful, out of my mind, I was so sick and tired of being so sick and tired! Fast forward and I found a natural doctor, a chiropractor, that also made some supplement recommendations. Well, it didn’t happen overnight, but eventually I started feeling better and regaining my health. The body is a miraculous thing and it will fight for you provided you have the correct things to give it. Now, I make it seem like it was easy. Somewhat of a, try this. It was trial and error and we had to try many different combinations of herbs and supplements at different doses. It was a lengthy process. It was worth every single moment and at that time expense. I was able to get my health back which is what is needed for everything else we do. I cannot give back to anyone or anything if I care for myself.

Melissa Lachowicz, CRNP

Meet Melissa! She is a board certified Nurse Practitioner who specializes in pain management. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2013 and went on to complete her masters degree as a family nurse practitioner in 2018. She has always had a strong passion for holistic and preventative care. IV Hydration and vitamin therapy specifically peaked her interest after doing extensive research and discovering that we are unable to obtain an adequate amount of vitamins needed for our bodies to perform at an optimal level through just diet and oral supplements alone. The absorption of IM (intra-muscular) and IV (intra-venous) therapies is much greater than oral absorption due to the fact it is bypassing the gut and other organs. Without proper hydration and vitamins, we develop a variety of acute and chronic conditions. Let Melissa help you find the right blend of vitamins to allow you to look and feel your best.

Aside from being an NP, Melissa is also a wife and mother. With her husband, Aaron, she enjoys traveling and golfing. They have two daughters who are 5 and 7 and are always keeping them on their toes. Exercise and staying active is a big part of her life and she is always trying to live life to the fullest.
