Make Your Vital Choice Today!

This semester of TVCP at Davidson College, I am excited to watch more of my friends transform the way they think about America's medical system. I am looking forward to witnessing them become fascinated with real medicine and real healing methods that are out there and learn from the experts that we get to bring to our school.

I love how TVCP is promoting our learning of true healing from illness, equipping pre-health students like me to heal patients in the future. Through their involvements on different campuses, I'm excited to see how many students have their eyes opened to natural, often more effective, health remedies.

The MAHA panel with Garrett, Ashton, Caitlin, and Emory was absolutely fascinating. Coming into the panel I didn't know what to expect; I thought it was going to be mostly lecture like at college, but it was not. Instead, panelists Garrett and Ashton actually gave us students the opportunity to GET INVOLVED with their nonprofit, The Vital Choice Project. After listening to Garrett and Caitlin discuss their struggles within the healthcare system, it inspired me to take action and start a Club Natural at UW-Oshkosh in Wisconsin.

I joined The Vital Choice Project because it's the space I've been looking for as a pre-health student. I wanted to be part of a community that approaches healthcare through a holistic, root-cause lens while keeping God at the center of how we care for others. I believe it's time for our generation to take a stand, to ask questions, seek truth, and pursue greater transparency in healthcare. I want to bring conversations to my peers about prevention, nutrition, functional medicine, and natural healing.

I joined the Vital Choice Project because I'm deeply passionate about functional health and preventative medicine. I believe our bodies were designed to thrive when we nourish them with the resources God placed on this earth — whole foods, sunlight, movement. That's what fuels my desire to be part of real change: advocating for stronger nutrition education in medical training, supporting future physicians through scholarships and mentorship, and giving our generation a more honest, root-cause, life-giving approach to health.

I joined TVCP because I'm passionate about improving nutrition education and helping create real change in our food system. As a student, I've seen how confusing and inconsistent nutrition information can be, and I believe giving people better access to nutrition knowledge can make a big difference. This mission is personal to me because of my experience with UC, which showed me how important food quality and awareness are for long-term health.
