Ariel Policano is a doctor of natural medicine (naturopathic physician). Her introduction to live foods took place in a small health food store in one of the great neighborhoods of Manhattan. The store was called Healthy Chelsea. In the store, she was introduced to wheatgrass juice and a tiny but compelling book called, “Be Your Own Doctor” by Ann Wigmore . Ariel consumed the works of Norman Walker, Bernard Jensen, Paavo Airola and others who wrote about the wisdom behind cleansing the body and enjoying living foods.

In 1993, Ariel traveled to Puerto Rico to meet Dr. Ann Wigmore at her institute. After 2 intense weeks of cleansing, live foods, wheatgrass, and the teachings of Dr. Ann her life was never the same. She went on to study at the National College of Natural Medicine, a 4 year medical institution. Her focus has been treating women’s health conditions through cleansing the body and encouraging her patients to consume live vegan foods and superfoods. With her understanding of women’s health, natural medicine and raw foods, she develops programs that address specific women’s health challenges. These include menopause, PMS, infertility, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, uterine fibroids, breast cysts and many others.
