As a naturopathic physician and wellness educator, I seek to empower the healer within each of us. I believe that when we have the knowledge and resources we need to make well-considered decisions about our own health and self-care, we’re also better equipped to make choices that support wellness on a larger scale. With education comes the understanding that it’s essential to verify not only the quality, efficacy, and safety of the products we’re using, but also the ethics and sustainability of the companies that make them. That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to visit the online dispensary I’ve created in partnership with Fullscript (formerly known as Wellevate.) When you create your free account, you'll enjoy:

Why Dr. Villano only recommends Yu Tea (formerly Sei Mee Tea):

• Exclusively sourced from organic farms with well managed soil in Japan. A healthy leaf is dense with cells with strong immunity against pests & disease, more tolerant of weather/drought, and much more nutrient dense. (vs. a leaf grown in poor soil has insufficient cells, poor nutrition, disease & pest prone, leading to chemical use and lead contamination).

• Significantly higher levels of polyphenols than from any bagged or loose-leaf green tea.

• Meets and exceeds the most rigorous standards and tested by independent third parties.

• Blending deep cultural knowledge with a modern holistic approach to physical and mental wellness.

• Decaf versions are water extraction (vs. toxic solvents).
