Kenzlee’s time as a hospice nurse taught her the value of disease prevention. She grew tired of “quick, band-aid” fixes when it came to a person’s health. This became the number one reason she returned to school. Kenzlee attended the University of Cincinnati, Ohio where she received a Master’s of Science in Nursing with a specialty focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care. She completed two years of graduate coursework with over 600 hours of clinical experience. Over one third of those hours were focused on the use of hormones and other methods to prevent disease. Prevention is one of her biggest passions in healthcare.

Kenzlee was born and raised in Northern Utah. She enjoys hiking, running, playing sports, and spending time in the sunshine. She and her husband (also a Utah native) have spent the majority of their marriage in Utah with a three-year adventure in San Francisco, California. Kenzlee is a mother and owns two Labradoodle puppies.

Aaron has a passion for excellence and hard work. He experienced the negative side effects of low hormones which served as the springboard to his career as a BHRT expert. His objective is to take care of patients and help them achieve overall wellness. In his perspective, true healthcare should not be simply managing people’s health. Instead, it should restore function, quality of life and help patients return to their normal activities through customized treatments for the individual.

Aaron values FHC because of its natural approach to healthcare, ability to identify the cause of disease and restore the body to its natural capabilities. In addition, he likes FHC’s focus on genetic testing where gene mutations are identified and natural genes are put back in their place.

Aaron lives by the quote “Life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it,” by Charles Swindoll. Aaron enjoys dirt biking, snowboarding, traveling with family and golf. He is fluent in spanish and portguese. He has five kids, three boys and two girls with his wife Monica who he has been married to for twenty-six years.
