55. Healthcare that Heals for Underserved Communities with Kate Smith, Owner of Essentially Health with Kate

Vitally You, Feeling Younger While Growing Older

We're at record levels of people struggling with chronic conditions and not being served. After feeling unsupported during her own health journey, functional lifestyle practitioner Kate Smith wanted to reach a community of people that have limited access to resources. She’s a volunteer at Dream Centers, a non-profit women’s health clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In our conversation, we discuss the services that Dream Centers offers and talk about how to scale their mission to reach more people who are in desperate need of healing. 

With a team of chiropractors, physical and massage therapists, sonographers, therapists, counselors, nurse practitioners, and nutritionists, Dream Centers provides integrative and comprehensive healthcare solutions to low-income and uninsured women. Kate and I chat about the unique approach that the clinic has to uncover the root causes of symptoms. She shares a powerful patient success story that illustrates the power of the mind-body approach to healing. 

Kate points out the common mindset and financial blocks that many of the patients at Dream Centers face, and breaks down how she and her team work together to help them reach wellness. Listen in to learn more about the amazing healing work that’s happening at Dream Centers and how we can all be of service to the people who need it most.
