A bit about Dr. Linda Ott

   Dr. Linda is many things to many people.  "To the world you are someone, to me you are the world", says her husband, Jim, with flowers he sent for their 29th anniversary.  To her daughter she is mom and her son calls her mother.  Not sure why the disparity there, but both offsprings are wonderful young adults.

   She is a daughter, sister, and friend to many.

   To her church community, she is a sister.

   After years of ill health (details below), Linda naturally reclaimed her health and overcame the symptoms of fibromyalgia, allergies, ulcers, depression, and recurrent bronchitis.

   As a Certified Natural Health Professional and graduate, doctor of naturopathy, Linda works to help educate others so they, too, can have vibrant health.

    As a child, Linda was obese, weighing in at 150 pounds by the 6th grade.  By December of her senior year, her weight topped off at 215 pounds.  Then she lost the young love of her life; could not eat and lost close to 20 pounds in about 6 weeks.  Encouraged by the few positive comments received, Linda cut back on the lunches of a peanut butter cup and Pepsi.

   Fast-forward 25 years and you find Linda had destroyed her health through every crash diet imaginable, and had conquered bulimia.  By this time, Linda had been on several pharmaceutical drugs; various anti-depressant for 23 years; ulcer meds for 19 years; multiple allergy drugs for 12 years.  It was around this time that Linda was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

   Aches and pains.  Brain fog.  Food cravings.  Restless nights.  Fatigued days. 

   It had become a common pattern for Linda to notice a mild post-nasal drip, that soon developed into a sinus infection, which led to bronchitis and a 10-day series of anti-biotics.  This would happen about every 6 weeks or so.

   After making several lifestyle changes, Linda enjoys a vibrant, active life and has not been on a prescription drugs regimen since 1997.
