Mission & Vision

To grow, nurture, and raise healthy humans, families should focus on six key pillars: sleep, exercise, nutrition, toxins, stressors, and happiness. In her writings, podcast, consulting sessions, and more, Dr. Angel offers effective and realistic steps people can take to today to feel great, avoid illness, and create healthier families, one parent at a time.

She is also passionate about the overlooked health determinants that have a deep impact on you and your family. Growth charts at the doctor’s office don’t account for unseen health factors like gut microbiome, familial stress, or parents’ health choices pre-pregnancy, even as these factors can determine health outcomes across a lifetime. Dr. Angel raises awareness and shares advice on the measures parents should consider before, during, and after pregnancy. She makes rigorously-backed medical information easy to understand — and to put into action — for families at every stage.
