After graduating from UC Berkeley and USC Medical School, Dr.Peters medical experience has included acting state epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control & Chief of Emergency Medicine for Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center.
After nearly 30 years of working in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Peters began showing signs of low energy, muscle weakness, reduced libido and depression. Upon leaving the ER and seeking to regain his own health he discovered he was experiencing Andropause (the gradual decline of hormone levels in men). Through changes in diet, lifestyle and natural hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Peters is now a walking advertisement for the benefits of his Nourishing Wellness Health program.

As a Certified Massage Therapist and Certified Wellness Coach with the American College of Sports Medicine, he supports his clients to achieve greater balance and joy in their lifestyle. As a researcher and author his articles have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association & other peer review journals. His most recent book is Nourishing Wellness: A Path to Wholistic Wellness Wealth . He currently serves as the Medical Director of Nourishing Wellness Medical Center. His passion is helping men and women to look, feel and actually be many years younger through his proactive, preventive approach to youthful aging and optimal health. He bikes to work daily and will soon celebrate his 70th birthday feeling younger than he did 15 years ago.

Brighid comes to Nourishing Wellness with over 30 years of experience in Health Care. She received a B.S. from CSULB in Hospital Administration, an M.P.H. from UCLA in Health Services Management and worked in a wide variety of hospital positions. These ranged from Ward Clerk and Pharmacy Tech while working her way through college, to Staff Consultant to the CEO’s of 1000 and 1500 bed VA hospitals, and Acting Director of Quality Assurance at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. Her work as the Administrator for Nourishing Wellness has included training as a Cengenics Patient Care Coordinator.
Growing up the 7th of 8 children in a devout Irish Catholic family that camped and hiked constantly, left its mark. Family, health and spirituality have always come first for Brighid, with education a close second. Besides her children, Brighid’s passions are permaculture, healthy living and spiritual growth. She grows most of her own fruit and vegetables organically, is a BioMat distributor, drives her car on Biodiesel fuel, and is studying to become an Agape Licensed Spiritual Practitioner.
After working in mainstream Western medical environments for so long, working at Nourishing Wellness is a long cool drink of water for her. The integrative, cutting edge work that Dr. and Jeanne Peters do, their rare understanding of the connection between individual and planetary health, and the fact that they both walk their talk 100%, leaves her inspired on a daily basis, and extremely grateful to be a part of their team. Our Nourishing Wellness clientele also inspire her as they are like the Peters, happy, healthy people who are powerfully committed to their health and being all that they can be. All of this leaves Brighid feeling like working at Nourishing Wellness is a blessing rather than a job, and that Life is Good.
Welcome to Nourishing Wellness Medical Center! My name is Cassi and I am your friendly Front Office Supervisor. I have over 11 year experience in medical office administration and am happy to be bringing my experience to Nourishing Wellness.
I graduated from Fresno State with a BS in Health Science/Community Health. I also have a teaching credential, which allowed me to be a substitute teacher. I think I always knew I wanted to help people. My first job out of college was as an assistant with United Cerebral Palsy. I also worked for 2 years as a Chiropractor’s Assistant in Thousand Oaks, my hometown. I then moved to the South Bay and worked at Intercommunity Medical Group in Torrance. Under Dr. Robert Hunt, I had 9 years experience in an Orthopeadic Surgeons office and became very knowledgeable in Workers Compensation.
Working with Dr. Peters and Jeanne has allowed me to work in a giving environment. It makes me happy to know that I am helping our patients towards their wellness.
