My life's work is centered around helping people understand how the human body truly works so they can take charge of their health naturally and live with greater purpose.
My Story
My name is Becca Dukes, and I am an ordained minister, author, editor, Certified Naturopathic Practitioner, Certified Wholistic Health Coach, community herbalist, educator, and media host.
I am the Producer and Host of the Daily with Doc & Becca, where I bring together doctors, researchers, practitioners, and wellness professionals from around the world. Through meaningful conversations and educational discussions, the show helps people better understand nutrition, the body's design, and practical steps they can take to support their health and wellbeing.
As I went through life, since my pain started at a young age and everyone in my family was in pain, I thought it was a normal part of life. It continued to get worse, and after the birth of my youngest child, a home accident, a car accident, and an extra 120 pounds, I knew this was not the normal I wanted to accept. I had found myself deep in depression, close to 75% bed ridden where my disabled mother was caring for me and my toddler on a daily basis. I should have been caring for her. My husband heard a doctor on talk radio and called suggesting that I check it out. Tired of doctors, I reluctantly did. It made more sense than the previous explanations I had been given and this doctor's message wasn't keeping me dependent on chemical drugs just to semi function to get through the day.
A few short years later and I am loving my life physically, mentally, and even financially. Beyond the products that were the solution to my health crisis, I also found a community that I have been able to find myself, my purpose and help others do the same. Best of all, I am blessed to be able to break that glass ceiling and take this message around the world. As the hostess of what started to be a weekly zoom 'Ask Doc Live', then my own radio program 'Better by the Minute Life with Becca', then another radio program 'Ask Doc Daily', to now with Radio and beyond with 'Daily with Doc & Becca'. The Doc… is no other than that doctor that my husband heard on the radio in Phoenix in 2016, Dr. Joel D Wallach, BS, DVM, Post Doc (Pathology), ND.
I am also on staff with the Institute of Wholistic Health where I support and lead a community of wellness minded men and women who want to make a positive impact in their own life and for many of them, in the lives of others by becoming a Certified Wholistic Health Coach.

Education & Mentorship
I also serve as the Director of Student Services for the Institute of Wholistic Health, where I mentor and support students pursuing careers in holistic health and wellness coaching. One of my greatest passions is helping practitioners gain the knowledge and confidence they need to educate others and bring practical health solutions to their communities.
Writing & Publishing
As an author and editor, I work to translate complex health principles into clear, accessible resources that empower individuals and families to make informed decisions about their health. My writing focuses on nutrition, holistic wellness, faith-centered living, and the practical application of foundational health principles.
I am honored to have assisted the Doctor that showed me how to take my health back and go from surviving to THRIVING. As his personal assistant and intern, my mentor and friend, Dr. Joel D. Wallach BS, DVM, ND threw me in the deep end of learning editing, illustration, writing and recording of three published books, 'It's All in Your Head', 'Metabolic Syndrome', 'The 90 for Life Crusade to Save Humanity', and the not yet published 'Third Testament'. He is the original Doc of the Daily with Doc and Becca Show.
Nutritional Foundation
Much of my educational work centers around the importance of the 90 essential nutrients, a framework inspired by the research of Dr. Joel D Wallach BS DVM ND. I believe that when the body receives the nutrients it requires, it is better equipped to maintain structure, metabolism, neurological health, and immune resilience.
Ministry
I am also the founder of Better by the Minute Life and Better by the Minute Life Ministries, a ministry dedicated to encouraging people to grow stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually. My message is rooted in a simple truth: transformation does not happen overnight—it happens one decision at a time, creating a Better by the Minute Life.
As an ordained minister, I believe caring for the body is an act of stewardship. Through education, media, writing, and ministry, my mission is to help people restore hope, strengthen their faith, and gain the knowledge they need to live healthier and more purposeful lives.
Mission Statement
My mission is to educate and empower people around the world to understand how the body truly works so they can take control of their health naturally.
Through teaching the foundational role of the 90 essential nutrients, holistic lifestyle principles, and faith-centered stewardship of the body, I help individuals move from confusion and chronic illness toward knowledge, hope, and lasting wellness.
Through education, media, coaching, and ministry—including the Institute of Wholistic Health, the Daily with Doc & Becca, and Better by the Minute Life—I equip people with practical tools to nourish their bodies, restore health, and live with purpose.
My calling is simple:
to educate, equip, and empower people to nourish their bodies,
strengthen their faith, and create a Better by the Minute Life.
