Dr Isabella Wentz received her doctor of pharmacy degree from Midwestern University and is a Fellow of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists and holds certifications in medication therapy management, as well as advanced diabetes care. In 2013, she received the Excellence in Innovation award from the Illinois Pharmacist Association. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009, Dr Wentz was surprised at the lack of conventional medical knowledge about lifestyle interventions for Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune conditions. She went on to author three New York Times best-selling books: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, and later Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back and Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology.
