Dr. Bill Rawls is a licensed physician with over 40 years of experience, the bestselling author of The Cellular Wellness Solution, and the Founder and Medical Director of Vital Plan.
After recovering from chronic illness using herbal therapy and structured lifestyle change, he has devoted himself to understanding the cellular mechanisms behind recovery and long-term wellness.
Tim Yarborough is Director of Customer Success at Vital Plan and has worked alongside Bill Rawls, M.D., and Vital Plan’s support and health coaching teams since 2015. Originally on a path toward becoming a physician assistant, Tim instead found himself spending the next decade in close conversation with people navigating Lyme disease and complex chronic illness. Those thousands of customer interactions have helped shape Vital Plan’s approach to education, coaching, community, and ultimately RESTORE180.
A certified herbalist and yoga teacher, Tim is passionate about helping people turn good health information into practical, sustainable action. His work now focuses on creating more connected and supportive recovery experiences, including Vital Plan’s evolving cohort-based approach to RESTORE180. Outside of work, Tim loves climbing, biking, backpacking, and spending time outdoors with family and friends.
Ali Moresco is the founder of Moresco Public Relations + Communications. Once focusing on entertainment PR and talent relations, Moresco made a pivot to healthcare PR four years ago when her world was turned upside down by an undiagnosed illness. It took her two years and eight specialists to find a doctor who would eventually crack the case — multiple complex chronic diseases and tick-borne diseases. Fortunately, Moresco pulls her experience living with chronic disease and “professional patient” skills to provide clients with experience-backed communications strategies in building loyal, long-lasting relationships with both media and patient communities.
