What is your name? Marit Zimmerman

How old are you? Old enough.

Where are you from? Seattle

What is your background? BS and Masters in Interior Design which gave me the opportunity to live and work in Italy, NZ and Vietnam, and be a part of some pretty cool projects. Naturally that was an easy segue into my other passion, medicine where I graduated from Bastyr Univ in 2019 as a Naturopathic Physician.

In a few sentences, tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do: I work at a clinic on the Eastside that specializes in Lyme, coinfections and other environmental medical issues. I love what I do and I am thankful everyday (given this crazy world situation that we are in) that I have my job and enjoy the people and patients that I work with.

What are you currently doing for hair health and care? I really like Aveda's Invati Advanced System. My whole life my hair has been thin and I shed like a chinchilla. This system really helps to keep hair strong and it's plant derived. That's about it. Don't add too much else, save for a little hair spray or keratin mist from time-to-time.

What are some helpful tips you can share with other readers? You don't need to wash your hair daily (nor your body). You can train it to go longer. I can easily go 3-4 days without washing. Daily washing strips your hair and skin of its natural oils, thus can lead to more damage.

Please share something different, interesting, or funny about yourself: I don't have a TV... yes, that's right. Nor do I Netflick or anything like that. However I did just have 30 days of free Amazon Prime and the only show I watched was Grand Tour. I'm a car dork.
