Hi there! Meet Dr. Nana!
A Pharmacist, a Diabetes Health Coach, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, and a Passionate Entrepreneur.
Dr. Nana is the Founder and Chief Consultant for NAQ Pharmacy Consulting, a company that provides optimal patient care to individuals, and business solutions to independent pharmacies, physician offices and long term care facilities.
With an educational background in Pharmacy and Holistic Health as well as her extensive years of experience working in different healthcare settings, Dr. Nana is well versed in understanding patient needs and challenges in the healthcare system.
Let’s Start From The beginning
After graduating from the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, she worked in a big chain community pharmacy alongside working part-time in a hospital.
After a year working as a full time pharmacist, she felt rushed with her patients, didn’t feel valued as a practitioner and most importantly realized how the healthcare system didn’t allow for a personalized care for patients.
“The health system is more focused on metrics, prescribing patients more medications without assisting them in identifying the underlying cause of their issue. There are just too many patients coming in and out of the pharmacy with no relief from their illness!”- Dr Nana
Her heart yearned for more for her patients, the community she served, and for herself! She desired a more fulfilling position where she could spend enough time with her patients and family, educate them, and observe the positive impact of her interventions.
Five years into her career, Dr. Nana had an opportunity to relocate to another state. She found herself in a similar situation with her new position; overwhelmed with non clinical tasks and not able to spend time with her patients and family.
She again felt the need to be part of the solution in the healthcare system and this time around she took action! She wanted to be creative and to be filled with purpose and have the impact she was craving for.

Dr. Nana recognized she could leverage her skills, values and passion to serve her community in a much more meaningful way.
This led to the establishment of NAQ Pharmacy Consulting. Her passion and life’s work both revolve around adding a human touch to healthcare.
Dr. Nana’s Work
Coaching
As Dr. Nana’s entrepreneurial journey progressed, her love and enthusiasm for guiding others to realize their full potential in self-healing through natural means was calling so loudly that she launched the DITCH DIABETES ACADEMY (DDA).
Ditch Diabetes Academy aka the Good Health Academy is a pioneering wellness haven that focuses on Metabolic Syndrome. This is a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, obesity, and abnormal cholesterol levels that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
We unravel the mysteries of metabolic syndrome through personalized coaching, expert consultations, and immersive wellness sessions by making LONG TERM lifestyle changes based on a food-first approach.
Dr. Nana believes in the healing power of lifestyle medicine and strongly advocates for it; as there’s room for both the conventional and holistic approach to work complimentary to each other until medications are no longer needed.
