Sarah Zara (UBCNM)

Hi! My name is Sarah Zara. I am currently a Naturopathic Medical Student at the University of Bridgeport. I am a scholar under Dr. Peter D’Adamo, learning how to treat patients through a generative (personalized around blood type and gene manipulation) approach and I also have a passion for children and areas surrounding mental health. In my free time, I love to weight lift and spread awareness about naturopathic medicine and healthy living on my Instagram, zara_health.
