MEET THE AUTHOR

Hi, I'm Vashti Kanahele, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you in Passports and Parasites. I wear many hats - author, functional medicine practitioner, and passionate explorer of diverse cultures and immersive experiences. My journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to empowering others on their healing journeys, driven by my triumph over Lyme disease and complex chronic illness.

Having lived in captivating places like Baghdad, Beirut, Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Lagos, and Curacao, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in a tapestry of cultures. These experiences profoundly influenced my holistic approach to health and wellness.

I now reside in Virginia with my loving family and our African village dog, Owen. My practice is dedicated to seeking the root causes of disease. With a compassionate heart and keen eye for detail, I dive deep into patients' health histories, lifestyles, and environmental factors to uncover the underlying triggers of their ailments. I aim to help individuals like you embark on a transformational journey to vibrant health.

 

I wrote Passports & Parasites to share my experiences and insights and inspire you to embrace the world's beauty, travel freely, and discover the path to vibrant health. As an author and functional medicine practitioner, my expertise goes beyond the clinical realm. Whether seeking holistic health coaching or inspiration to explore the world, I'm here to guide you toward wellness and self-discovery. Let's take this journey together!

"Thank you for opening yourself up so wonderfully in the book. It was a delight to travel around the world through your words. It's a truly interesting and wonderful read."

"It's not your typical travel book that's empty of personality or your typical personal life story. I loved learning about your personal life, victories, dangers, and struggles. I felt like I was personally invested in the story."

"I learned so much about diplomatic life and the risks you faced. I liked learning about every place you lived. Thank you for letting me read the book."
