About Our Guest:
Heather Tallman Ruhm is the Medical Director for Documenting Hope – an educational and research-oriented not-for-profit organization established to help care providers, parents, and practitioners understand, prevent, and reverse chronic illness in children. As a Medical Doctor and Certified Family Physician, Dr. Heather has always embraced an integrative and functional approach to root cause medicine. Her clinical experience in this field began at the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport Beach, California, shortly after the completion of her residency. Since then, she has spent the last twenty years in private practice, working in multi-disciplinary clinical settings throughout New England, including her current part-time practice at the New Hampshire Health and Wellness Center.
Dr. Heather is a native of Montana and a “global” student and teacher at heart. As an adjunct college professor for over a decade, she taught pathology and Foundations in Complimentary Health and Wellness with an emphasis on whole systems biology; she also hosted a radio series on Health Matters and, in 2018, helped establish one of the first bio-regulatory clinics in the US fashioned after the Paracelsus Institute in Switzerland. Before studying medicine, Dr. Heather received her BA in Human Sciences at Montana State University and her master’s degree in public policy (MPP) from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She has both studied and worked in a volunteer capacity overseas, and she, her husband, and their grown daughter have hosted numerous exchange students over the years.
