This week, Tee is joined by Dr. Jaquel Patterson, an internationally recognized naturopathic physician, 3x Amazon bestselling author, and Forbes contributor. As CEO of Fairfield Family Health, Dr. Jaquel brings over 16 years of clinical expertise treating Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, ADD/ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, and environmental illness. She's been named the top naturopathic physician in Fairfield County for six consecutive years, has been featured in USA Today, Forbes, and on CBS, Fox, and NBC, and serves as Treasurer of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine.

In this episode, Dr. Jaquel unpacks lifestyle medicine and proactive prevention as the true foundation of long-term wellness, rather than chasing symptoms after they appear. She explains how simple, intentional daily habits can help prevent chronic disease and bring the body back into balance. Tee and Dr. Jaquel discuss how these principles apply not just to adults, but to protecting the whole family's health.

The conversation also dives into one of Tee's favorite topics: how modern environmental stressors quietly undermine our health over time. Dr. Jaquel draws on her background in environmental medicine to share how families can build resilience against these everyday exposures through proactive, root-cause care. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or simply want to future-proof your family's health, this episode offers a practical foundation to build from.
