Beverly Meyer- Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN)

Beverly Meyer has been a client of natural health therapies since 1972.  After a successful but exhausting career in big business she became a Clinical Nutritionist in 1985.

Facing a mysterious health crisis in 2016, she was told to put her affairs in order. 


After months of research, she found the issue on her own and the medication needed for a rare genetic disorder. 

 
She pours her knowledge into website articles, Consults and her podcast "Primal Diet - Modern Health". She taught what we now call "the Paleo Diet" years before it was named and claimed by others. She is a passionate speaker and an enthusiastic proponent of self-care, particularly known for her work on sleep, anxiety, the Adrenals, and Salivary Hormone Testing.
