We had the good fortune of connecting with Lauren Lattanza Nmd and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lauren, is there something you believe many others might not?
The “standard of care”. This one size fits all approach to conventional medicine is a completely inadequate response to the complexity of human nature. Any given disease state is so much more than just a diagnosis. These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us that something is misaligned. It is up to us as physicians to understand the cause and identify the best recourse for each individual patient.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Whenever we go against the grain, in my case, conventional cardiology- we will inevitably face naysayers who try to demean our profession as a whole. I have learned to ignore this because treating holistically empowers the patient, and more importantly- it works for the long haul. When a patient tells me that not only their symptoms are improving, but that they feel hopeful for the first time in years, that is my WHY.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Being that we are a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains I am eager to share my favorite hiking spots. From the McDowells to Camelback Mountain or even Papago Park, there is truly a trail for everyone.
When traveling I always strive to find the best food available. I recommend True Food Kitchen and Lure Seafood when people come to visit Scottsdale. These restaurants source responsibly and have excellent knowledge of gluten free options.
If time permits, a jaunt up to Sedona is a MUST! I am a self proclaimed Sedona tour guide.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Dr. Jack Wolfson has been my mentor for going on 5 years now. He left a lucrative career as the head of one of the largest cardiology practices in Arizona to devote his life to treating the root cause of the #1 killer of men and women globally, cardiovascular disease. I hope that more physicians will awaken to see that conventional medicine is not the path to health. Because of Dr. Wolfson, I have a unique approach to treating heart disease that patients will not find elsewhere.
