of Powell Pharmacy, an integrative lifestyle pharmacy, where she offers far more than the

Cameroon, Dr. Tubuo suffered from numerous preventable diseases such as Malaria, Typhoid
Fever and Dysentery. This gives her an intense respect and passion for disease prevention and
community education. Her philosophy is centered around ways to improve health and well-being
by focusing on preventive medicine, intentional living and kindness.
It is inspired by her desire to ensure that our days reflect the life we genuinely desire. Dr. Tubuo
works closely with her clients to identify lifestyle and drug-induced nutrient deficiencies and offers
customizable wellness programs to help patients meet their individual health goals. She owns
Emlah Naturals, a third-party tested line of supplements with a focus on education. Her dedication
to education inspired her to create a course that teaches pharmacists to recommend supplements
with confidence which will soon be launched.
Emlah leads a fulfilled intentional lifestyle. She encourages her audience to find fulfillment in their
careers. She has provided keynotes to various corporations, including McKesson and Women of
Wendys. Her message is to empower everyone to live intentionally and take small consistent
steps in the direction of their dreams. Her mantra is “We all struggle, choose kindness always.”
