<p>Dr. Vivian Chen, a passionate advocate for recognizing the impact of environmental toxins on health, has a rich background in medicine, specializing in internal medicine and family medicine.<br><br>Her journey into environmental health was personal, driven by her daughter's health challenges which were linked to dietary allergies and, she suspects, environmental toxins.
