The Edible Apothecary was founded on Karen’s love for her family and passion for natural healing.  As a trial lawyer who has been advocating for patients' rights for more than 30 years, Karen's work routinely involves reading and analyzing medical research, and consulting with experts in various medical  specialties including cardiology, internal medicine, oncology and surgery.  When a family member was diagnosed with cancer, Karen dove into the research to find answers.  She discovered that a whole food plant based diet has the power to prevent and reverse many diseases; while healing the planet and being compassionate to its animals.  It was time to be part of the solution.
