Meet Our HPN Staff

Dr. Elizabeth Cutright B.S., BSVM D.VM., Advanced Nutrition Response Testing Clinician
Dr Cutright, has been a long time resident of Chicagoland, working 18 years in a blended traditional integrative practice, LePar Animal Hospital on the Southside of Chicago, prior to starting HPN. She is a proud member of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association. Through these organizations she has enjoyed lecturing to children and adults alike, lobbying for animal rights and food safety, and promoting veterinary medicine. She is one of less than 15 Advanced Certified Nutrition Response Testers in the country. Through her time at LePar, she developed her love of nutrition and dentistry. After going part time to support her growing family’s needs, she found she missed the daily interactions with her growing base of nutritional clients and from there, Healthier Pets Naturally was born. Through the support of many amazing people from Dr Michelle Herlihy, Happy Dog Barkery, and the amazing staff at LePar; she now has the best of both worlds. She is now close to home for her family and spreading the word that “food is medicine!” |

Jennifer Hartmann, HPN Patient Advocate
Jennifer is a California native who recently settled in the Chicagoland area. She first found Dr. Cutright as her own beloved, adopted 12 year old lab, Macy, became very ill suffering from renal failure. Through Dr. Cutright’s application of Nutrition Response Testing, Macy lived and thrived in her condition for an additional year and a half. It was an amazing journey and a complete blessing! Additionally, being a life-long participant herself using whole food nutrition, supplements and other homeopathic modalities to optimize her health, Jennifer thought working at Dr. Cutright’s practice would be a perfect fit for her. And now here she is today! |

Joie Allen, HPN Relief Patient Advocate
Joie Allen is a graduate of the Vet Tech Institute at Fox College, and while she did an amazing job when she was assisting us regularly, she has moved onto supporting the surgeons at Arboretum View Animal Hospital upon her graduation from her tech program. Their gain is our loss, but we appreciate her stepping in when we need an extra hand so she is stuck here on our staff page, because well, we just really don't want to let her go. |
Rowdy, HPN mascot, supplement tester, morale booster, and intern trainer
Rowdy came to us as an owner relinquishment when he was unable to be potty trained. A brief NRT assessment and we found his food allergies were stressing his urinary tract. A change in diet, added supplements, some TLC, and he now is officially potty trained. He has become part of the team. He has been a "volunteer" in supplement trials, trained countless students on animal handling, visited schools for educating children on alternative nutrition, and is a general morale booster. We are grateful to have Rowdy as a living breathing example that food can heal and as our team member.
