ALTERNATIVES TO PHARMACEUTICAL MEDICINE

James is a serial entrepreneur and born leader with a proven track record of success in eCommerce and Event Marketing. During his battle with mental illness, James was led down a common path of pharmaceutical drugs with terrible side-effects. The doctors he thought he could trust, simply didn’t have the necessary education or resources to help in any other way. This led James to take his health into his own hands and begin researching holistic health practices. This research led him down a rabbit hole that exposed the systemic problem with the medical system and revealed why all the doctors he saw were unequipped to actually help him with his problems. James is now using his entrepreneurship and leadership skills to develop new resources and systems to help others take control over their own health and happiness.
