Her bachelor's degree in Physiology and Neuroscience has fostered a passion for understanding how the brain, hormones, emotions, and immune system work together. While at the University of California, San Diego, Misty worked for the student owned Food Co-op and learned about the importance of healthy food options for the individual and the planet. While at the co-op she expanded the herbal medicine offerings and became aware of the option for taking her pre-med training to naturopathic medical school.
