Dr. Saunders is a board-certified physician who has practiced for over 17 years as a community pediatrician. For 14 years, she created and directed healthy weight programs where she affected hundreds of children and their families in creating healthier lifestyles. She has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Pediatric doctor since 2021. In March 2023, she decided to spend more time helping people create healthier lifestyles using food as medicine. She became a certified culinary medicine specialist (CCMS) to help anyone use food as medicine. She is excited to share this information with people because she believes everyone should know how to eat to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease using food. Whether helping organizations create healthy culinary lifestyles in their employees through wellness courses and programs or medical practices create healthy weight programs that are unique to their community, Dr. Saunders is passionate about making a difference in people’s lives.

Dr. Saunders believes food can help improve or treat most conditions and wants to share her knowledge.

When she is not working, Dr. Saunders enjoys spending time with friends and family, hiking, gardening, and doing photography.
