Lee Tan | WYCBO PANEL GUEST
Driven by the realisation that traditional healthcare focuses on treating illness rather than nurturing better health, Lee Tan set out to change the narrative.
With over two decades as a community pharmacist and pharmacy owner, Lee understood the underlying problem. If we wait until we're sick to prioritise our health, we miss the chance to truly thrive. This realisation ignited the spark to create Well + Being - a lifestyle space to pause, reset and nurture physical, mental and emotional beings.
With her additional training in Nutrigenomics, Lifestyle Medicine, Environmental, Nutritional Medicine and health coaching, she is excited to lead the change and empower the community to vitality and good health.
