Founder and President Omega Natural Science, Inc. Waltham, MA Experience: Physician and natural wellness visionary, Dr. Locke is a pioneer in bringing scientific evidence to the natural products industry to create products and companies that promote health and wellness. A graduate of University of California at Berkeley in anthropology (with highest honors) and Harvard Medical School, she spent 14 years in clinical psychiatry at Harvard, where she specialized in natural treatments for mood disorders. She founded Omega Natural Science to bring to the world the finest natural nutritional supplements based on scientific evidence of efficacy and safety. In 2007, OmegaBrite® was shown at the Mass General Hospital to be a safe and effective treatment for mood disorders in children. In fact, it is equivalent in efficacy to the standard treatments, but with no side effects, only health benefits. Knowing that her work has brought new hope and health to many families is perhaps Locke's greatest reward. Committed to promoting health and wellness in the community, Locke actively supports research in cardiac health, depression, and bipolar disorder in children and adults. She is committed to programs for children and adolescents at risk and has been on the board, as well as a long-time sponsor, of the Science Club for Girls. This program provides continuous science classes for girls from pre-K through high school and is now viewed as a model program for educators around the country. |
