The complexity of healthcare today and all the western advances that go with it – from AI generated diagnoses to online scheduling platforms to cold, impersonal clinical settings – has a lot of people – and their four-legged friends - looking for alternative, more holistic, wellness-centered approaches to healing and feeling better. 

Stephanie's guests on this edition of Out to Lunch are are experts in this segment of healthcare.

Dr. Keta Patel is owner of the Excel Wellness Center in Baton Rouge, which focuses on holistic wellness and functional healing, and is particularly focused on helping women combat hormonal imbalances from hyperthyroidism, perimenopause and menopause, insulin resistance and autominnune conditions.

Keta is a chiropractor and also offers chiropractic care at her clinic, which she opened in 2015. She is also a nutritionist and has become well known on the speaker circuit, where she talks about the relationship between holistic wellness and hormones and her approach to helping patients - especially women - feel better so they can be their best.

Dr. Alvin Jaufre is an equine chiropractor - which means he works on horses. If you didn't know horses needed chiropractors, you’re not alone! Actually, though, it’s a busy and growing field that Alvin has been involved in since 2014, when he opened Lagniappe Animal Chiro.  

Alvin grew up in south Louisiana and is one of just nine nationally certified veternirary chiropractors in the state of Louisiana.
