113 Millennium - Twentieth Edition MEDICINE, HEALTH CARE AND WELLNESS Dr. Heather C. Vinet proudly serves her community as a holistic medicine and healing nutrition practitioner. She is the founder of Scientifically Natural, which provides clients with a new perspective on their health. As part of her duties in the field, Dr. Vinet assists patients in navigating complex health issues, such as autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances, thus empowering others with education about their health conditions. After earning a BS in biomedical engineering at Tulane University, Dr. Vinet initiated her career as a biomedical research engineer. She began working in an orthopedic clinic, conducting clinical research focused on natural interventions for orthopedic conditions such as joint injuries, meniscus tears, arthritis and headaches. She and her team explored various alternatives to surgery or pharmaceutical interventions. Though she started her career in a laboratory with monkeys, her true passion for her field was sparked by interacting with others and witnessing the immediate impact of her efforts on the lives of her clients. Dr. Vinet became a board-certified holistic health practitioner with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners after achieving a PhD in holistic medicine at the University of Natural Health. Reflecting on her achievements, she believes moving into the relatively unknown territory of clinical research at the orthopedic clinic and publishing her findings was a significant milestone in her career. She conducted extensive analyses of clinical applications and published her work in a prestigious regenerative medicine journal. Receiving recognition from like-minded peers in the research community showed her that she could succeed in the holistic field, pushing her to launch Scientifically Natural in 2023. Moving forward, Dr. Vinet strives to bridge the gap in health care and help her clients take control of their health journeys. She believes that accessing health care information has often felt distant and overwhelming for many, so she focuses on simplifying this process, making it manageable for practitioners and patients.
