A personal note...
Born in Valparaiso, Chile, I have lived in four magnificent countries: Venezuela, Spain, USA, and, of course, Chile. For many and different reasons, there is a piece of my heart in each one of them.
By the age of 30 I was a Pharmacist and had earned a Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry. I married my wonderful husband and came to live in San Diego without enough knowledge of the English language to further develop my career. I worked as a Pharmacy Technician and as a QA Associate doing Failure Investigations for a Biotech Company. I also studied Regulatory Compliance until I felt that my communication skills were good enough to look for new challenges.
With a desire to expand my knowledge and skills, I learned tax preparation and worked with H&R Block for a season. Then I became proficient in business administration practices through the Small Business Association and started my first company in 2004, consulting for pharmaceutical companies.
After completing many consulting projects, I began longing for patient interaction again. As part of the Kidney Transplant Team in a well-known hospital in San Diego, I went back to work as an Intern Pharmacist. My Spanish was a blessing for the job, but my thirsty mind was not fully satisfied. The desire to help people attain greater levels of health and well-being kept me searching and looking for solutions.
In 2006, after a long visit to my hometown in Chile where I learned about the process of extraction of antioxidants from red wine, an exciting new world opened up. It was then that I made the decision to create Red Wine Therapy, Inc. in order to make Red Wine Extract—with its unparalleled antioxidant properties—widely available. With human health under great threat in our world today, I found a passion for getting this information out into the world.
I haven’t taken the easiest path. Working with intensity in many different settings has had its challenges. Conventional medicine and pharmaceutical companies sometimes make it very hard to keep an open mind about alternative medicine, natural supplements and products, and a nutritional approach to alleviating and curing diseases. However, I have a deep conviction that most of the answers and cures we seek already exist in nature, and spreading the word is my mission.
About my research...
My main area of formal research was Vitamin B6 and Schiff Bases formation, Kinetic and Thermodynamic studies with L-Tryptophan and other amino acids. My last paper was published in 2005 (J. Phys. Org. Chem. 18, 546-551. 2005). After a time, I realized that writing small articles and offering public presentations were much more effective ways to teach people about science and health than the formal peer reviewed papers.
Every year I participate in educational programs and events to keep myself up to date with trends and new developments in the areas of Neuropsychology, Internal Medicine, Natural Supplements, and Evidence-Based Medicine. I also attend holistic conferences and alternative medicine talks. Dr. John Gray and Dr. Andrew Weil are two of my favorite authors, and The Okinawa Program is currently my most highly-recommended book on natural health and healing for inspirational purposes.
I believe that no matter what life or health situations we are in right now, well-being is a privilege that we should claim for ourselves—a right that we should exercise!
Be wise, and thank you for reading.
