Welcome to the Wellness By Design podcast. I believe every one of us has the power to achieve optimal wellness not by reacting to the world around us but by intentionally designing a life based on what our own body needs. This show is for people who want to relieve pain and inflammation naturally by addressing root causes, rather than masking symptoms and by tapping into the wisdom of their body, mind and spirit. And I want to give you the tools to help make that happen.

Brandy Cummings’s Bio: Dr. Brandy Cummings, DCN, is not your typical nutritionist—she’s a former blackjack dealer who routinely chooses steak over quinoa, roasted veggies over kale chips, and, most importantly, she understands. Her passion for root cause-focused nutrition stems from her own struggles with illness, infertility, and feeling forgotten by conventional medicine. After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy as well as countless other debilitating symptoms, Dr. B explored every corner of improving cellular health; she researched overlooked causes of chronic illness, such as mold, parasites, reactivated viral infections, and a dysregulated nervous system and was alarmed at the lack of continuous care offered by the conventional model. Dr. Cummings holds an impressive list of qualifications, with her Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two young daughters and is a proud homeschooler, foodie, and Lego enthusiast.
