Hi everyone! I'm Amie G, the Doctor's Wife... literally.
I met my husband on a blind date & found out he was my dad's doctor about 10 years ago. We were both very much attracted to each other & I don't think the date really ever ended after that! And as they say, "The rest is history".
My sweet husband, Dr. Ron J Guevara saw me at my worst when he met me ~ struggling to balance it all. I was working a full-time marketing job, taking care of my mother with terminal cancer, and building a home with my own two hands on my family's ranch with the help of my dad. I was rebuilding my life from ground zero and it occurred to me that I was making the same mistake every time, in a viscous circle of NOT setting myself up with a true partner that lifted me up, supported me & in return, I do the same. Dr. G seemed to bring out the best in me & is still my rock today. He saw a passion in me I didn't even see in myself over time, which was Nutrition. After many years of supporting him with building his medical practice as his Office Administrator, he approached me about going back to school to become a Nutrition Counselor, but focusing more on a Functional Medicine approach. As a Family Doctor, he identified a gap in our healthcare system & sees the value in taking the time with each patient as a unique case. We both believe that if a person can understand what's going on inside of their body, they can then apply that basic knowledge to make lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse most diseases that he sees in clinic.
With my years of experience & background in Communications, Broadcasting, Marketing & Advertising, it just made sense to utilize all of that to bridge the gap between the patient and the Doctor. In my previous years, before I was a "Doctor's Wife" I was too very frustrated with the way the Healthcare system is set-up from the patient point-of-view. The doctor breezes in for 5 minutes, writes a script & leaves. It's very devastating to me to know that both of my parents died at a very young age of diseases they 100% could have prevented & even reversed if they were given the right information, tools & resources to keep them motivated throughout their health journey.
I feel strongly that with being exposed to both worlds & living a unique perspective as the Doctor's Wife, I can help with bridging that gap to improve patient care overall in our clinics & community. Having some training in Functional Medicine Nutrition is a great bonus for me too! I can assist patients as well in clinic with their health goals & educate them. Functional Medicine is a very practical approach to things that we all, I think take for granted most of the time. Getting back to the basics & realizing our body is ONE system & everything is connected is vital to our health & wellness.
