Dr. Patel was trained in family medicine in Chicago. As she began her career as a doctor, she wanted to make a positive difference for her patients. She began her career working in federally qualified community health centers for this very reason. She continued her Education in public health; she wanted to help patients improve, and continued to look for ways to help them attain optimal health. Dr. Patel then opened an integrated health practice devoted to nutrition, Lifestyle, hormone replacement, and cosmetic services. This worked best with relatively healthy patients, so she continued her search for therapies and approaches to help a wider population of patients. Her focus in medicine changed when she joined the medical team at The Cleveland Clinic. Functional medicine training provided a foundation to tackle the most complex problems within the body. She treated thousands of patients from across the world, who presented many challenges to optimal health. These experiences shaped and strengthened her skills and transformed her into an experienced functional medicine doctor who cares for all ages and conditions. Dr. Patel shares what she has learned about maintaining a healthy life in this conversation with me.

I grew up in a rural community in South Carolina. My father was a general laborer, and he, along with my mother and their eight children, were sharecroppers. I am their sixth child, and I spent my formative years picking cotton and plowing with a mule. I gained a burst of insight when I was 15 years old from an internal consciousness that told him I could do better with his life. I heeded the inspiration and enrolled in college, graduating with honors. I earned a Master of Arts from The Ohio State University and a doctorate from Miami University (Ohio). I received a Golieb post-doctoral fellowship from the New York University School of Law, where I enrolled in the first-year curriculum and the Legal History Seminar. I began teaching at Wilberforce University in Ohio. I also taught at the University of Cincinnati and was a long-time constitutional history professor at North Carolina State University. I was the inaugural director of the African American Studies Program at Mississippi State University. I have lectured and presented scholarly papers in the United States, Canada, and Europe. I presented at the American Society of Legal History, the British Legal History Association, the Southern Historical Association, and the Association of African American Life and History. I have lectured at the University of Washington, Cambridge University, and Keele University in the United Kingdom. My scholarly endeavors have taken me to three African countries, including Ghana, where the University of Ghana boasts an African Studies program.
As a speaker and workshop facilitator, I presented “Four Elements of Progressive Constitutionalism” in the Amicus Curiae Lecture series at Marshall University (2012); “Abraham Lincoln and Executive War Powers,” Wilmington College (2013); “Reconstruction and the Politics of Expedience,” Old Capitol Museum in Jackson, MS (2015); and facilitated teachers at summer seminars for the National Endowment for the Humanities at Georgia State University in 2016 and 2018.
Now retired from academic work, I am the founder of The Possibility-Action Network and host of The Possibility-Action Network Podcast. I am a speaker, transformational coach, and social entrepreneur.
