Dr. Kathy Gruver’s natural health career started, unknowingly, at the young age of 6.
She would massage her dad’s neck on long car trips and read his college biology text book for fun. Years later watching him care for her dying mother sparked even more interest in alternative medicine and helping others heal.
With a background in theatre and bad fast food, Dr. Gruver overcame her addiction to caffeine, artificial sweetener and meals that were eaten in the car.
Now, 24 years after her mother died of cancer and 10 since her last drink of soda, Kathy makes it a point to help others navigate the sometimes confusing world of nutrition, natural health and mind/body medicine.
With people remarking that she looks 10 years younger than she is, Kathy combines moderation, exercise, strong will and common sense to proudly say that she is “youthing.”
Dr. Kathy Gruver, author of The Alternative Medicine Cabinet and host of the TV series of the same name has earned her PhD in natural health. Gruver's second book, Body/Mind Therapies for the Bodyworker is currently available and Conquer Your Stress with Mind/Body Therapies will be released in June 2013.
