Author Biography
Long before she became a renowned self-development, fitness, and health expert, Dr.Hanna Parkes used to be on the receiving end. She battled eating disorders in her teens and was cyber bullied due to her weight problem. Her negative experiences during her childhood years became her one of her sole motivation to address the problem and seek professional help. On her road to recovery, she dedicated a huge amount of her time and energy learning and educating herself on self-development and staying mentally and physically healthy to build up her self-esteem. At the young age 23, she earned herself a degree in Nutrition Science and worked her way to achieving a Master Degree and Ph.D. in the same field a few years later.
At age 36, Dr. Parks now lives with her husband, Dr. Gerard Parkes, a doctorate degree holder in Naturopathic Medicine. The couple has dedicated over a decade of their lives living from one continent to another educating and sharing their expertise with local communities around the world. Some of their campaigns include obesity awareness and improving self image. They have also trained a number of health enthusiasts and have established about a dozen clinics offering alternative medicine in three different continents. She is also actively writing a series of books in her vision to widen her reach and help educate more people across the globe.
Dr. Hanna Parkes and her husband are currently back in her hometown of Chicago, where they vow to continue to help individuals who are struggling with eating disorders and weight problems. Starting this year, she intends to set up boot camps in the summer that will train young adolescents on how to take care of themselves better and improve their self image.
