Shortly after completing her residency training, Dr. Booker gained further training and experience in Occupational Medicine and Urgent Care while operating as the clinic medical director for a large Occupational Medicine practice. After a few years, she decided to transition back into hospital based medicine and care for acutely ill patients. After years of caring for the sickest patients in one of the most prestigious hospitals in Houston, Dr. Booker decided to shift her focus to wellness.
Dr. Booker is a marathoner who is passionate about fitness and nutrition. After learning how to improve her own personal health and athletic performance, she decided that she wanted to make a change in the way she approached caring for her patients and switched her focus from treating chronic disease using prescriptions to preventing it. She believes that she can use simple lifestyle modifications to help patients manage common diseases such as osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and other chronic inflammatory illnesses. Her objective is to help patients learn to eat a nutritious diet that supports health at the cellular level and provide movement solutions so that patients can be more active and have more vitality.
“My goal is to help my patients live their healthiest lives with fewer prescription medications, fewer physical limitations and less burden of chronic disease”.
