ABOUT THE AUTHOR
About Robin Rose MD
Born in Brooklyn, raised in Jersey, Robin Rose MD began her life journey as a child protegé in the New York ballet world and then evolved to become a published writer and artist by the end of high school. Her medical odyssey began in 1970 when she shadowed an MD while living in a fishing village in India. By the end of the 1970s, she studied plant–based medicine and veggie cooking, serving communities in New Jersey, later working for $2/hour as a nursing assistant in a rural middle Tennessee county hospital. 1981 she graduated with honors from the U of Tennessee Health Sciences Center [BSN/RN with a PNP certification]. She completed a graduate MSN/FNP program in 1984 at the U of Missouri at Columbia.
​
After a brief stint in a northern Arizona private primary care practice, she realized the urgent need to learn more in order to provide the kind of precision primary care she wanted to offer. With an arduous commitment, she completed pre–med requirements, while attending as FNP at a rural indigenous clinic.
​
August 1986, she enrolled at the U of Arizona College of Medicine, completing the course of study in 5 years [extended when her spouse relapsed and then died of leukemia]. During that time she had the honor of serving as medical student board member of the American Holistic Medical Association, while also attending massage school classes and enjoying the mentorship of Andrew Weil MD. The experience was unique, as she began to
evolve agility by including complementary offerings to manifest a holistic medical education – classes with herbalists, extracurricular nutrition and acupuncture study, quality clinical time on the Apache and Papago reservations, and a prolonged rotation in Sri Lanka.
​
After graduation in 1991, she completed 3 years at the renowned UCSF Santa Rosa Family and Community Medicine Residency. The opportunity to deepen knowledge of conventional medicine was outstanding, and yet it was also embellished with an array of clinical knowledge that included botanical medicine, nutritional medicine, homeopathy and osteopathy, with further study and practice of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture.
​
In 1994, she moved to Ashland Oregon, to serve in a community that embraced the eclectic regenerative and preventative practice she offered from a charming home office [with offerings from standard to creative medical solutions to health challenges, including hospital and house calls, nursing homes, and group classes, including middle eastern dance offered for women over 40].
​
After many years and some notable life challenges, Dr. Rose shifted to a smaller office, ultimately taking a sabbatical hiatus after family losses. In time, she enjoyed a move to Hawaii and a new marriage. When Dr. Rose entered the realm of the wounded healer, fulfilling personal healing needs became priority. The evolving new primary care kidney medicine – Renology – was inspired by wholistic cellular regenerative and preventative wisdom. In time, she began supporting other physicians, guiding their understanding for achieving kidney success for patients. After discovering the extraordinary world of peptides – and more specifically the bioregulator peptides – this volume was birthed – it is offered in the spirit of achieving kidney success.
