About Dr. Tricia Pingel


Dr. Tricia Pingel, known as "The Adrenal Whisperer," brings a uniquely powerful perspective to wellness as a naturopathic physician who began her career on fashion runways. Her journey from successful model to trusted health authority gives her rare insight into the destructive power of perfectionism and the healing potential of self-acceptance.

Through her bestselling book Total Health Turnaround and her supplement line Total Health Apothecary, Dr. Pingel guides overwhelmed professionals to transform stress into strength and burnout into balance. She has been featured on major TV platforms and in publications such as Prevention Magazine and Mind Body Green, sharing her expertise in adrenal health.


Drawing from both worlds—the image-focused world of fashion and the healing wisdom of naturopathic medicine—Dr. Pingel helps people reconnect with their authentic selves, proving that true wellness flows from self-love, not perfection. As host of the YouTube show "What Am I Modeling?", she explores how our daily choices shape not only our health but what we model for others. Her mission is simple: help you feel better, stress less, and live with joy.

Surprising tidbit: When this trusted health authority isn't transforming lives through her work, she's breaking it down on hip hop dance floors—living proof that finding your joy is the ultimate medicine

Tune into hol+ with Dr. Taz MD | The Future of Medicine is Holistic for a conversation that moves beyond conventional wellness talk. Hosted by Dr. Taz MD, this podcast operates from a simple yet profound premise: true health isn't found in a single pill or diagnosis, but in the intricate connection between our biology, our lifestyle, and our emotional world.

Instead, they can be woven together into a practical, personalized approach to caring for the whole person. You'll hear discussions that tackle how these interconnected systems directly influence not just physical symptoms, but also our mental clarity, capacity for joy, the quality of our relationships, and the health of our entire family unit.
