A Healing Journey of Faith
Early Life: Dr. Badolato grew up battling some chronic health issues such as ear infections, tonsillitis, heavy metal toxicity. As a competitive athlete she learned to work through these challenges and pain. This served her well in High School and afforded her an opportunity to earn a full Division 1 athletic scholarship as a Sprinter on the Track & Field team.
Educational Pursuits: Dr. Badolato’s passion for knowledge, business, and competition led her to earn a degree in Business Administration. She then earned her M.B.A. in International Business & Finance while working full-time as a Financial Analyst.
Professional Career Path: After college, Dr. Badolato chose a career in teaching at the elementary and college levels before transitioning into the business world. She worked for one of the world’s largest Pharmaceutical companies where she was responsible for educating and selling practitioners on the benefits of her products. This experience exposed Dr. Badolato to the “behind the scenes” of big pharma and conventional healthcare.
Upon moving to Charlotte, NC in 2005, Dr. Badolato’s focus shifted from the business world to starting and raising a family. At this time, Dr. Badolato began to experience her own health challenges (autoimmune diseases) and the failures of our healthcare system. Feeling frustrated and confused, she decided it was time to take her health, and the health of her family, into her own hands and became a Certified Health & Nutrition Coach. She would call her practice “Cultivate True Health”, with an emphasis on seeking and sharing the truth about health.
After spending some time as a Health Coach, Dr. Badolato felt called by God to take another huge step to become a Doctor of Natural Health. As a strong woman of faith, Dr. Badolato enrolled in a Medical school program that seamlessly blended her passion for both her Christian faith and Natural Health. It was important to Dr. Badolato to help people address the root of health challenges and not just provide a natural remedy to mask an issue. This is why she chose a degree as a Naturorthopathic Doctor. Naturorthopathy differs from traditional Naturopathy in that it focuses on ways to remove the root cause of disease and treat nutrient deficiencies. Her background and education not only equipped her with scientific knowledge but also instilled in her the belief that true healing involves the integration of our Physical, Spiritual, Mental, Relational, and Financial lives.
Faith and Healing Philosophy: Dr. Badolato's approach to healthcare is grounded in the belief that the human body is a masterpiece, intricately designed by God. Her Christian faith serves as a guiding light in her practice, influencing every aspect of patient care. Dr. Badolato emphasizes the importance of aligning one's health choices with spiritual principles, viewing the body as a temple that should be nurtured and respected (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Practice and Patient Empowerment: Establishing her own practice, Dr. Badolato sought to create a healing space that would Educate, Empower, Encourage, and Equip patients on their health journeys. She places a strong emphasis on patient education, ensuring individuals understand the connection between their lifestyle choices, faith, and overall well-being.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!”
Inspirational Workshops and Seminars: Beyond the confines of her clinic, Dr. Badolato regularly hosts inspirational workshops and seminars as part of the “Heal the Healers” network. These events serve as platforms for like-minded practitioners to share the transformative power of combining natural health practices with Christian faith. Dr. Badolato passionately communicates how faith-based principles can be integrated into everyday life for enhanced physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Interests: Outside of her practice, Dr. Badolato and her husband stay very active and involved in raising their 4 boys and a black lab puppy . She also leads the Mom's Prayer group at her children's school every week, and enjoys Barre classes and hiking for exercise.
