About Mary

Mary Louder, DO is a double-boarded Osteopathic Physician (Integrative Medicine and Family Medicine) who practices medicine by supporting people on their own quest for health and wellness. "Any physician can find disease; healers find health and support the body's innate capacity for healing. Pursuing wellness restores health and vitality at all stages of life."

Mary was trained at Michigan State University and has been a practicing physician since 1993. Her focus now is on teaching, educating, and writing about healing and how the journey inward is the way forward. She believes that being first connected with ourselves and then with others brings the best joy and fulfillment in life. Additionally, she believes that we are emotional beings having a physical experience. Emotions are us, we are emotions, the physical body houses the emotions and then mirrors our feelings back to us by what we have come to know as symptoms and signs. Mary feels by identifying and understanding our emotions, our biology, and our backstory, we can learn how to connect and reconnect with ourselves and with others. We can be well and live well.

"When we are connected to ourselves, we can go anywhere"

Mary lives in West Michigan with her husband, Andy and their labradoodle, Lucy. She enjoys bike riding, fly fishing, being in nature ~ woods ~ water ~ wonder, cooking, reading and deep resting.

About The Community

Using the power of your own story (through your DNA testing) we put together what your health and wellness journey looks like.  Genomic testing transforms your life.  Your DNA testing is the blueprint to direct your choices towards greater health and wellness.  It does not matter what stage you join, meaning you may be working to maintain longevity or you may be recovering from a major illness.  Using DNA and the support of The Hero's Genome community will help guide your choices. Using genomics removes the guessing games of the what and why in regards to your health.  The answers and patterns are literally right in front of you to understand and to follow.  This leads you to improved choices regarding foods, exercise, lifestyle choices and supplements.  It is literally can be the key to your health journey in life.  Clients are describing their results as "transformative", "amazing" and "ah - ha, this finally makes sense to me".  

The power of story is real, and the story of your DNA is your super power to a better way of life.

When you join The Hero's Genome community, you become a part of a tribe that is inspired by their own story and the stories of the other Hero's in our group. There are stories of health being regained, confusion regarding exercise, what to eat, and what supplements will actually be beneficial for each individual. This allows you to become the Hero of your own life and health journey. Your participation changes you through the transformative knowledge of your DNA and next step tests and treatments or choices for your own individualized path of care. What better way to live than using the actual facts of who you are and what works for you.
