What motivated Dr. Lange to pursue her career in holistic medicine?
As a child, she battled rheumatoid arthritis, Addison's disease, lower back problems for which doctors prescribed her pain medications, injections, and a corselet to wear for the rest of her life. Her physician predicted that she would be paralyzed from the waist down by the time she was in her twenties. However, Dr. Lange refused to let this bleak outlook define her life and instead, delved into the world of holistic medicine, which became the foundation of her medical practice.
After studying in China, she was diagnosed with high levels of mercury poisoning, which caused severe health problems in her nervous and digestive systems, joints, lungs, skin, immune system (thyroid and adrenal hormones). Dr. Lange underwent EDTA Chelation Therapy and IV drip therapy to remove toxic heavy metals from her body. After healing and recovering, she began identifying the root causes of disease, of her mercury poisoning, Hashimoto’s disease, hypothyroidism, which became a crucial aspect of her practice. Today, as the founder of Lange's Anti-Aging & Wellness, P.A., Dr. Lange believes that identifying the underlying root cause of every symptom is key to achieving overall wellness and preventing illness, rather than just masking symptoms.
Dr. Lange's passion for wellness extends beyond her medical practice. Since 2001, she has participated in various triathlons and marathons and encourages her patients to participate in outdoor fitness and other advanced athletic events such as half and full marathons, triathlon sprints, Olympic, and 70.3 Ironman (long-distance) triathlons.

She empowers and motivates her patients to live healthy lifestyles while becoming active and informed participants in their healthcare.
