Hello!  My name is Mary Kazmar.  I have lived in Muhlenberg my entire life and I started my career as an office manager for a small service company. 

I’ve been interested in a more natural approach to healing for most of my adult life. Shortly after my daughter was born I had some very severe back pain. While I was moderately healthy, my diet was still quite poor. A friend saw me drinking a diet soda and brought me an article about artificial sweeteners. She told me to read the article and said that I’d never want to drink another diet soda again. Honestly, I laughed; but I read the article and never drank a diet soda again. My daily back pain disappeared. This experience inspired me to investigate the food I was both eating and feeding my family. I started reading everything I could and did my best to change our diets.

Years later, I sought out treatment from Dr. Fatkin due to a back injury that caused me to have chronic migraines. These migraines made me cripplingly sick most of the time. I’ve been working with him, both nutritionally and chiropractically, for many years and I have seen a huge reduction in the migraine attacks. Eventually, I left my office manager job due to the migraines and came to work for Dr. Fatkin. I assumed that my new position would be temporary, but it turned out that I loved doing this work and helping people feel better.

Since then, I have completed Ulan Nutritional System Inc.’s certification program and I graduated as an Advanced Clinical Graduate in Nutrition Response Testing™. I’ve also completed Integrated Nutritionals Health and Wellness Coaching program, and I am a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. My education continues presently with Integrated Nutritionals and Ulan Nutritional Systems Inc. I am incredibly thankful to be where I am today, and I aim to help as many people as possible achieve their best life.
