Margot DesBois
Margot DesBois joined the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) science team as a member of the inaugural class of CHD fellows in January 2022. She is honored to help advance CHD’s work exposing the underlying causes of the epidemic of childhood chronic illness, principally by contributing to scientific research and writing projects. She hopes to continue her exploration of healing practices, educate others and advocate for the individual’s right to choose his own methods of healing.
Margot grew up and currently lives in northeastern Massachusetts. She graduated from Middlebury College, Vermont, in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in biology and completion of pre-medical coursework. Margot is particularly interested in cellular biochemistry and the nutritional and environmental factors that influence health. She believes in the body’s infinite capacity to heal itself with the correct support.
Since 2010, Margot has used individualized nutritional therapies under professional direction to treat and manage her own chronic infectious disease and autoimmune complications. She wishes to pursue a medical education in order to practice orthomolecular and environmental medicine. She has co-founded and co-runs a private academic tutoring and educational enrichment service with her three brothers (desboistutoring.org).
