I am Dr. Shallanda Hunter, PharmD, MBA, CFNMP. Pharmacist, educator, founder, and builder creating practical systems at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and patient-centered innovation.
Current positioning
Building practical healthcare products, education systems, compliant workflows, and AI-enabled experiences rooted in real-world expertise.
Big win
I Can Teach You AI
Coming soon with waitlist positioning for women in healthcare.
Method
ROOTS Framework™
A proprietary clinical methodology bridging pharmacist-led metabolic protocols and scalable digital health technology.
The why behind the work
"I reversed my pre-diabetes twice. Not once. Twice. Full stop."
My relationship with metabolic health is not theoretical. I lived it, studied it, and applied every clinical and functional tool I had. And reversed it. Twice. That experience is the reason the ROOTS Framework™ exists and why I believe in systems over willpower, every single time.
I founded The Pauline Higgins Foundation Inc in honor of my mother to bring awareness to ovarian cancer and its connection to metabolic health. That loss sits underneath everything I build. The clinical work, the education, the technology. All of it feeds back into a mission that is far larger than any single product or platform.
Raising awareness on ovarian cancer and its connection to metabolic health.
Whether you need to learn AI, build a healthcare product, or understand GLP-1 and metabolic health. I bring clinical credibility and implementation experience to every engagement.
✦ If you are a woman in healthcare who is ready to be the one your colleagues ask when AI comes up. This is built for you.
Practical AI training built for women in healthcare. From curiosity to confident daily use, without losing months to tools that were never built for how you actually work. Actual tools. Clinical workflows. Outcomes you can measure. Waitlist is open now.
PharmD-grounded education on GLP-1 medications, metabolic health, and the ROOTS Framework™. The clinical foundation behind my AI healthcare builds. Available for select speaking and content engagements.
From concept to shipped product: apps, websites, agent workflows, compliance tools, and digital health experiences built with both domain expertise and builder precision.
About me
My background in pharmacy and patient education is not separate from my AI work. It is the reason for it. I saw the gaps firsthand. I understood what patients were missing and what healthcare professionals were up against every day. Human effort alone could not reach everyone who needed it.
So I built systems. GLPRoot. DeIDGuard. ClinMotion. VitaPlate AI. Each one started as a real problem. Each one was built with AI tools, in the hours between everything else a life like this demands. That is what it looks like when you know the problem from the inside.
My story is also personal. The mission behind this work is rooted in family, healing, and the belief that expertise should create real outcomes, not just content.
I use my personal name for AI education, implementation, and builder-focused work so the portfolio clearly represents my voice and range.
How I stand out
Clinical
Grounded in healthcare authority rather than borrowed credibility.
Builder
I translate ideas into shipped experiences, not just presentations.
Teacher
I make AI implementation understandable for women in healthcare.
The ROOTS Framework™ is the educational methodology behind all of my work. It is how I organize the pharmacology, the functional medicine research, and the lifestyle science into a system people can actually understand and use.
Before anything changes, you get the full picture. You learn how to look at your health history, your labs, your medications, and your daily life as one connected story rather than a list of separate problems. Most people have never had someone put all of that together for them in plain language. This is where that starts.
You learn how food actually communicates with your body beyond calories in and calories out. How it influences your hormones, your energy, and your inflammatory load. And how to build a way of eating that works for your real life, your culture, and your specific health goals, not a generic plan that was never designed for you.
You learn what is happening beneath the surface. Gut health, targeted supplementation, and the research behind both. You stop guessing about what your body might be missing and start understanding what the evidence actually supports. Your physician guides your clinical care. This pillar gives you the knowledge to be an informed participant in that conversation.
You learn how sleep, stress, movement, and your environment are either building your health or quietly working against it every single day. This is not about rigid rules. It is about understanding the levers that drive how you feel so you can make adjustments that actually hold.
You learn how to keep going when results come and how to course-correct when life shifts. The goal is not a protocol you follow perfectly for ninety days and then abandon. It is a way of thinking about your health that stays with you and evolves as your life does.
This framework is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice or clinical care. All health decisions, including lab interpretation, medication management, and supplementation, should be made in partnership with your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
Featured build
VitaPlate AI is a nutrition intelligence platform. It connects clinical knowledge to how people actually eat, with AI-guided flow built for healthcare from the start.
DeIDGuard
Structured support that turns complex health logic into a clearer starting point for users.
The GLP-1 Plate
Visual meal guidance rooted in GLP-1 support, connecting nutritional intelligence to what actually lands on the plate.
Recipe Builder
A more interactive layer of nutritional guidance designed for usability, not just information overload.
RootLabel
An AI-powered label reader that scans supplement, food, and medication labels, giving users instant clinical clarity on what they are actually putting in their body.
Recipe Builder
A more interactive layer of nutritional guidance designed for usability, not just information overload.
Selected work
From clinical tools and AI products to personal builds created for my own family, this is what it looks like when domain expertise and builder instinct work together.
Health Tech
A GLP-1 support platform designed to help people track symptoms, medication, labs, nutrition, progress, and daily education in one place.
Built from domain expertise into a real user experience, GLPRoot turns clinical insight into a clear daily support system rather than a generic tracker.
AI Medical Media
A cinematic AI-powered medical animation product experience that demonstrates concept design, workflow thinking, and health-specific interface clarity.
This project shows my ability to shape an idea into a differentiated product with strong visual identity, guided interaction, and category-specific storytelling.
Privacy & Compliance
A Chrome extension built to help healthcare professionals de-identify patient text locally before using AI tools.
DeIDGuard reflects the intersection of healthcare workflow, privacy awareness, and practical AI enablement, with compliance-sensitive logic built into a lightweight product.
Personal Health OS
A fully personalized health command center built around my own values: Command Center, Meal Tracker, Movement, The Apothecary, Lifebook, Goal Setting, and the full R.O.O.T.S. Health module, all in one place.
This lives on my local machine. Built specifically for me, my health history, my cycle phases, my goals, my way of thinking. That is exactly the point. I can build the same for you: organized around your values, your data, your life.
Social-Pragmatic Learning App
A language learning app built from a real family need, helping children move from knowing socially appropriate language to using it confidently in real situations.
In one week of using the app, it boosted Malachi's engagement at school. Built with interactive modules, progress tracking, storybooks, and goal-based communication practice.
Broader proof
Beyond the headline projects, this body of work shows consistent movement across product concepts, healthcare education, digital platforms, and AI-enabled experiments. That range matters because it demonstrates pattern recognition, not just isolated execution.
