Belinda Celis Basaca, MD, MS

Dr. Belinda Celis Basaca (aka Dr. B) is a pediatrician by trade, science geek, lifestyle and cultural consultant by passion, global speaker/trainer, and loves to empower people to FLOURISH & live their best lives by obsession! She holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology-Biology from Union College in Schenectady, New York, Master of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and an MD degree with a Distinction in Research, both from Albany Medical College in Albany, New York.  She lives on her native Long Island and when she is not “Dr. B-ing” she is Mrs. BBZeitlin, hanging, brainstorming, and connecting with her cherished husband of many years, Ben Zeitlin.  They are enjoying their empty nest in the most bittersweet of ways while staying connected with their two adult sons, Emanuel and Elias.  She also enjoys painting, arts & crafts, baking and cooking healthy recipe makeovers, entertaining, organizing (spaces and events), taking walks at the beach, and always searching for the best gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free, chocolate treats.  Belinda and Ben do their best “mastermind-ing'' for their entrepreneurial ventures and other endeavors on long road trips and leisurely walks. In a constant quest for alchemy, they seek ways to create win-win situations and to leave the world better than they found it.
