Adrenal-Thyroid Health, Self Care and holistic women's health care with Aviva Romm

About Aviva

Aviva is a Yale MD, midwife, and herbalist who practices medicine and sees health a different way than a lot of doctors.

Aviva has spent the past 35 years (you would never guess from her photo!) dedicated to learning what really works when it comes to women's and children's health - when conventional medicine is optimal, and when it not only might not be the best option, but might be more harmful than natural alternatives. Aviva has also been on a 35-year pursuit to learn which natural approaches, from foods to herbs and supplements, to mind-body practices really work and for what. 

Aviva’s mission is simple: to give you the facts you can trust and the tools you need, bridging the best of traditional wisdom and modern medicine, so you can feel like yourself again and feel empowered in your choices - whether for staying healthy, or getting well. Aviva truly believes our bodies have the capacity to heal beyond what we've ever been led to believe.
