She was forced to rediscover what it means to live a healthy, happy life for her family. Her journey is captured in her No. 1 new release book, Invisible Illness, a guide to reducing overwhelm and achieving optimal health while living with an autoimmune disease. Through eye-opening research and personal stories, Heather provides science-backed solutions, simple health tips, and nutritious recipes that everyone can use on their wellness journey.  Heather obtained her PhD from Western University in Canada.

When Heather's not walking the family dog, cooking with natural ingredients, watching her sons play sports, and exercising outdoors with friends she's researching wellness. She's a health and science nut – it's her career, hobby, and passion. She resides in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband and three boys.   Connect with Heather Website Book & Journals Instagram Linkedin Substack __________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee's Organics - Therese's Healthy Products for You and Your Home:  The Green Living Gurus Website  Instagram Youtube Facebook Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!
