UTI positive for E. coli, pneumonia, fever, and nearly bedridden, the girl who “never” goes to the doctor had no choice this particular day – the day I met Dr. Petrie.   A urine sample and a quick listen to my lungs, and right away she pulled out her pen and pad to write me a prescription and send me on my way . . . Or so I thought.  She began speaking as she wrote.  She used words and phrases I had never heard from a doctor: Clean eating, insulin resistance, cortisol levels, muscle mass building, restorative sleep, vitamins, and supplements.  Still speaking and writing on that pad, she addressed toxic exposures and toxic thoughts.  And just when I thought I had heard it all, she started in on gratitude and forgiveness.  I didn’t leave Dr. Petrie’s office with just a prescription for an antibiotic that day.  I left with a prescription for life!  Thank you, Dr. Petrie, for everything you’ve taught me . . . And for everything you’re about to.
