About Dr. Millie Lytle ND, MPH
When listing my key credentials and accomplishments, it reminds me of all the amazing adventures and collaborators I’ve had during my career. Although I’ve personally struggled with success, my ambitions and expectations for it. I have strived to maintain my integrity and pursue opportunities I was aligned with. Over 20 years, I’ve remained devoted to women's health, nutrition, and mind-body-soul medicine.
it all started when I became a Naturopathic Doctor. After 7 years of practice I moved to Germany to obtain a Master's in Public Health. Once I moved back to North American, I moved to New York where I became certified in nutrition. Other credentials include being a certified birth doula, certified by NLP Canada, and since 2006, I’ve been using mindfulness and meditation to help people with a wide range of health issues.
