About the Host - Emily Stapleton

Emily Stapleton began her health journey earlier than most. She was 10 years old when she knew something wasn’t right. She grew up in a family that believed in traditional medical practices. In fact, holistic medicine was not taken seriously or even considered. Emily continued to struggle for years with various digestive and sleep concerns. She was not receiving any help or relief from her traditional medical care practitioners. Frustrated, tired, confused and ready to give up, Emily eventually stumbled upon integrative medicine. She started to research day and night and felt as though she had discovered an entirely new world of health possibilities. Eventually, Emily began to change the way that she lived her daily life. She is now a certified yoga and meditation teacher and she eats mostly gluten and dairy free. Emily found Ortho Molecular Products in 2013 and knew after the first phone call that she had found her calling as a nutraceutical sales representative. Emily is living her passion each day by educating healthcare professionals on the benefits of proper, targeted, evidence based supplementation. Please join Emily in her quest to change the practice of medicine.
