"When I found Dr. Schneider two years ago, my health was at a low point. Her knowledge and caring have helped me find a light at the end of the tunnel. Through testing, the right nutrition, and lifestyle/behavioral interventions, Dr. Schneider and her team at Empowered Health have helped me take charge of my health."
