From Critical Recoveries to Everyday Rituals

Liz Bardelas has walked hospital hallways at sunrise and guided Olympic, professional, and national athletes through recovery by moonlight. For nearly three decades, she has lived at the intersection of movement, medicine, and mission — translating science into strength, recovery, and performance.

A licensed physical therapist with deep expertise in pediatrics, orthopedics, cardiovascular care, and neurosurgery, Liz brings Ivy League foundations and elite clinical credibility to Herb Llama. Her career spans Fortune Global 100 Toyota and the nation’s most respected medical centers — including Yale, UC Davis, Montefiore Einstein / Burke, and Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian — institutions that lead the world in nutrition, food science, and clinical research. Every Herb Llama® protocol is shaped by what she has seen on those front lines.

Liz’s clinical journey has been forged in the most demanding corners of medicine. In the ICU, she has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with critical care teams, helping patients navigate recoveries from the kind of physiological breakdowns most wellness brands never acknowledge:

  • Seizures triggered by hyponatremia
  • Muscle breakdown from rhabdomyolysis
  • Potassium and magnesium shifts causing arrhythmias and neuromuscular instability
  • Silent dehydration sabotaging performance and healing

“These weren’t theories. Herb Llama was born in the space between a crisis and a comeback.”
