About Alana Humphries
Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
I am from a Navy family. I have three brothers and no sisters. I have four sons (2 of them are stepsons) and two daughters. I also have 3 grandchildren and another on the way. My mother and I are very close, the best of friends.
Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?
I have been a registered nurse for over 30 years. I spent the first 23 years in the acute care setting (ICU, CCU, Cardiac Cath lab, etc). I spent the last 11 years in corporate healthcare. This past July I left the corporate setting and opened my own IV hydration clinic. What I love most about what I am doing now is that I can take all of my combined experience and help people optimize their wellness, prevent illness, and improve healthy longevity..
