My name is Fadwa! I am a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mother, a Doctor of Clinical Pharmacy (Pharm.D), and the founder of Applecross Wellness, LLC. It is my philosophy that natural holistic medicine leads to freedom from the shackles of our current medical system.

I graduated with the last class of the traditional 2-year doctorate (Pharm.D) program in 2000 from Wayne State University. This allowed me the opportunity to receive an extra year of schooling and training as a clinical pharmacist. 

I went on to do a residency at Detroit Medical Center at Harper Hospital, receiving excellent training in a vast area of disease conditions. These diseases included heart disease, diabetes, infection, kidney disorders, and more. I went on to pursue a career with Health Ford Health System specializing in adult chronic disease management.  During my 25 year tenure I have published two research studies on the impact of polypharmacy (meaning patients on more than 10 medications at one time), worked at the blood thinner clinic, written and presented about 100 drug and disease write-ups incorporating recommendations of optimized treatment guidelines within the health system, and worked side-by-side with physicians on clinical rounds and managing their high risk chronic disease cases (these are cases where patients medications and blood work are not aligning with optimal health, but are increasing in side effects and hospitalizations).

The worst part is the lack of health freedom: freedom from further illness, freedom from living beneath our maximum capacity or purpose, and freedom from medical debt.

Early on in my career I realized that big pharma was not helping, but increasing the effects of chronic illness with side effects, drug interactions, increased medical bills and worst part does not manage the root cause of illness, but rather masks progression of continued illness leading to chronic disease.

Therefore, I went on to pursue learning Functional Medicine and completed the one week program “Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice” through the Institute of Functional Medicine. Since then I have attended multiple conferences, and kept up with clinical studies, applying what I have learned with patients willing to give this form of alternative medicine a try. I was finding more and more patients feeling stronger, more in control of their health and beginning to live their God-given purpose.

My Strategy

My practice uses the latest in holistic medicine science, by activating your own body’s cellular intelligence and giving your body its ability to heal itself (as it has been meant to do). My primary form of treatment is to activate cellular regeneration and to use supplements when needed. This strategy best optimizes the body’s ability to detox, bind and remove toxins, regenerate your healthy cells, and promote cell signaling (the preferred way your body likes to communicate within itself to keep itself healthy).

Besides activating your body to heal itself, I also help you incorporate a healthy diet, find exercise that fits your lifestyle, offer motivational counseling, and work alongside your primary care physician (my practice is HIPPA compliant) to optimize your prescription treatments.

By incorporating the latest research in natural ways of healing, I am seeing patients set free from continued illness progression and expense. I want all of us to feel our best!

The goal of Medical Freedom is to live unshackled from poor health, debt and achieve wellbeing. It would be an honor and privilege to be a part of that journey with you!
