Meet Dr. Maya Shetreat, M.D.

A neurologist, herbalist, urban farmer, and author, Dr. Maya Shetreat, M.D. is on a mission to help people care for their whole selves and align with the natural world for better physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being.

A lifelong student of ethnobotany, plant healing, and all things sacred, Dr. Shetreat works and studies with indigenous communities and healers from around the world. Today, her goal is to share what she’s learned about herbalism, mushrooms, neurology, and much more by teaching earth-based programs for transformational healing through the Terrain Institute, which she founded. 

By combining scientific evidence with indigenous, ancient, and sacred knowledge, Dr. Shetreat challenges preconceived notions about healing. On her Instagram, you’ll find everything from easy ways to incorporate herbalism into your daily life and advice for seasonal living to recaps of recent research.

As a member of The Vitamin Shoppe Wellness Council, Dr. Shetreat will use her unique expertise and experience to answer your questions about nature-based avenues for finding greater health. Keep an eye on The Vitamin Shoppe’s social media and What’s Good blog for her insight and advice.
