• Dr. Chippy Cardiologist and Assunta Sarasota Florida A Purpose Collective Substack

    What is A Purpose Collective?

    A Purpose Collective is a global wellness movement founded by Dr. Chippy, a cardiologist who transitioned from conventional medicine into a more integrative, lifestyle-centered approach, and Assunta, a lifelong wellness advocate whose own journey of overcoming autoimmune disease inspired her dedication to health, wellness, culinary guidance, and holistic healing.

    Together, they unite decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to empower individuals to transform their health from the inside out.

    Dr. Chippy brings a unique blend of cardiology, functional nutrition, and mind-body medicine, while Assunta weaves in her 35+ years of wellness, culinary guidance, and holistic healing.

    Their shared mission is to shift the paradigm of health away from pharmaceuticals and toward prevention, nourishment, and personal responsibility.

    If you've felt frustrated with your health journey, unheard in the system, or unsure where to find the right tools, you're in the right place.

    A purpose collective exists to give you knowledge, community, and a path back to yourself.

    Together, we rise - one choice, one habit, one healed life at a time.
