Danelle Schmutz PA-C MPH
With a longstanding interest in helping people improve their health, Danelle became a Certified Functional Medicine Physician Associate in 2014, adding to her previous Master’s Degree in Public Health. Over the years she has worked in various community, hospital, and clinical settings including women’s health and OB/GYN. She is now in Functional Medicine, dedicated to helping you find the root cause of symptoms and address them with natural solutions. Many years ago Danelle began having her own health problems and started researching nutrition and natural health solutions. As she made diet and lifestyle changes she was amazed and delighted by the significant improvements in her health. She was introduced to essential oils a short time later which again took her health to a new level. This discovery process put her on the Functional Medicine path and she has never looked back. Grateful for the invaluable knowledge and resources she discovered that returned her to full health and vitality, she now shares this critical knowledge with others to empower them in finding solutions to their own health concerns. Danelle consults with you to identify your unique health priorities, order detailed laboratory studies, and employ the latest diagnostic techniques to assess gut health and toxicity levels. She assists you in creating treatment plans that facilitate the body’s own incredible capacity to heal itself while making changes that are truly transformational.

David Hone CEHP MMQ
FOUNDER of Elements of Life Institute
Dr David Hone is a leader and international teacher of Chinese Medical Qigong. He is a lifelong learner of meditation, martial arts, natural medicine and chinese energetic medicine. He combines eastern and western philosophies when looking at the body as physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects.

Jessica Herzog MD FAAP ABOIM
FOUNDER of BPH and LUX Blanc
Dr. Jessica Herzog is a leader and teacher in the field of integrative and functional medicine. She is board certified in Integrative Medicine and her unique philosophy combines natural health principles with cutting-edge modern technologies to achieve the best outcomes for her patients. She serves on the medical board of two international health and wellness companies, including doTERRA, the largest essential oil company in the world. She’s the founder of Blue Pebble Health, an integrative and functional medicine center, and Lux Blanc a forward-thinking supplement company. She is a franchise owner of Light Lounge, a full body red light therapy center next door to her medical practice. Dr Herzog’s mission is to teach professionals and clients how to awaken to a deeper sense of wellness by uncovering what’s holding them back and provide them tools for their healing journey. Her team of natural-minded practitioners specialize in recovery from chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, neurologic disorders, digestive concerns, and hormone imbalances by focusing on optimizing mitochondrial function and providing foundational nutrients. She has taught at the Advanced FSM Conference, and is a core faculty for the Optimal Longevity Academy. Dr. Herzog is dual board-certified and completed her undergraduate degree, medical doctorate, and pediatric residency at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD. During her studies, she participated in research teams at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD and the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. She started her career as a pediatric hospitalist, serving in the Emergency room, Labor and Delivery and Pediatric in-patient wards in Maryland, Utah, and Pennsylvania. Dr. Herzog’s fascination with Functional Medicine and root-cause healing began when she experienced her own health challenges with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and multiple chemical sensitivities. She was frustrated and saddened from the lack of answers she received in the conventional medical system. This shifted her to a "root cause" and investigative mindset with her own health. Another world of wellness opened up to her. The body could heal! Now she enjoys optimal health and vitality. She brought this investigative healing philosophy to her practice 10 years ago, and now serves mostly adults with chronic illnesses. Dr. Herzog whole-heartedly practices what she teaches, striving for the optimal balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness for her and her husband and six children. She is from the East Coast and currently lives in Utah where she and her family enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle including skiing, biking and hiking. She also enjoys gardening. She loves picking handfuls of fresh herbs for the most flavorful salads. In a world full of confusion around health, it’s time to go back to the basics and make sure your foundation of nutrition and emotional wellness are firm.
