Angela Hind, M.D. practiced traditional Internal Medicine for 17 years. In 2007, when an illness forced her into the role of patient rather than physician, she became acutely aware of the inability of the current medical system to effectively prevent and treat the growing incidence of chronic disease. Her journey took her down the road of toxins in our environment, food, and water as a primary answer to modern society’s health crisis. In 2012 she received additional training in molecular toxicology and Functional Medicine, and in 2014 she opened You, M.D., a consulting firm that strives to inform and support attorneys, governmental entities, and patients seeking to understand and work with the intersection between toxins and human health.
As a physician and patient advocate, watching the epidemic of toxin-induced chronic disease has been disheartening. Its impacts on societal and individual health are unprecedented and tragic. The legal system, through providing redress to citizens who have been harmed by toxic pollution or contamination, is a powerful force for affecting societal change and improving health. Only when accurate and comprehensive scientific knowledge is brought into the public dialogue do policies and perceptions change.
“Our toxic environment, industrial food and medical systems are failing our long-term health. We must move toward the most effective way of reclaiming our health: a path grounded in scientific understanding that emphasizes real food, toxin avoidance, and community wellness as the essential ingredients of good health.”
