Biographie de Karyn Shanks MD
Karyn Shanks MD is a physician-healer-teacher-writer who lives and practices in Iowa City. Her work is inspired by the science of Directable Human Potential-epigenetics, neuroplasticity, core Functional Medicine systems biology, and transformational psychology-and the wisdom gleaned from the healing journeys of thousands of clients over her thirty-year career. She approaches all of her work through the Unbroken philosophy and framework-that we all have vast untapped genetic, biological, psychological, and spiritual potential.
She is the founder of the Unbroken Academy, creator of the Unbroken Workshop, and author of HEAL-A Nine-Stage Roadmap to Recover Energy, Reverse Chronic Illness, and Claim the Potential of a Vibrant New You, as well as numerous e-books, articles, and weekly emails offering readers knowledge, encouragement, and support on their healing journeys.
