Missy Sturges is the Founder of Go Integrative Health. As a person who struggled through her late teens and early twenties with an autoimmune disease, Missy understands how difficult and frustrating managing a chronic health condition can be. Over a period of eight years, Missy visited countless doctors offices, required several in-patient hospital stays, and was placed on a variety of medications that led to side effects just as damaging as the disease itself.
Frustrated, Missy eventually decided to meet with a physician who practiced integrative medicine, and this experience changed her life. Her doctor did something none before her ever had; he discussed the long term affects nutritional imbalances have on the immune system, and placed her on a regimen to address the variety of imbalances in her body. The improvement wasn’t immediate, but it was dramatic. In fact, after six months of treatment, Missy’s immune system began to regulate, her chronic pain dramatically improved and her energy returned. Through proper diet and a healthy lifestyle, Missy has spent the last eleven years in remission.
This experience ultimately fueled Missy’s passion for integrative health research and education. She received her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nutrition, and dedicates her career to the field of health and wellness.
