Mold toxicity is the #1 root cause issue I find in those patients who are "stuck" and not getting well ~ despite doing all the right things.

This summit is a must watch if......you're feeling stuck or have hit a plateau in your healing..you are suspicious you're living or have lived in a moldy home..you have a compilation of random symptoms that no one can figure out..you have brain symptoms and/or mood challenges ..you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease

Join the Mold, Mycotoxin, and Chronic Illness Summit and take steps today to make your living environment a mold-free zone. It’s a free investment in your health that is well worth the effort.

This statistic angers me every time I read it.

As a doctor who focuses on autoimmune diseases, that's the first thing I look at when patients haven't felt well for a long time with "mystery & complex symptoms".

Life is too short to not feel good.

You have goals, dreams, and people who need you.

It's not okay to sit on the sidelines and watch your life pass by....just because doctors can't figure it out.

Don't get me wrong.

There are multitudes of incredible, well-meaning doctors out there who want to help. They may not have the time, deeper knowledge of autoimmunity, or insurance approval to dive deeper and ask the questions, run the labs, or do the research.

If you're struggling with mystery symptoms don't give up!!! Keep searching. Keep advocating for yourself. And, keep the faith that you WILL find answers.

Having a proper diagnosis is life-changing. When you know what is causing your symptoms it's much easier to put together a plan & strategy to get well!

I'd love to know.....how long did it take for you to receive a proper diagnosis? Or, are you still waiting?

Commet Below:
A: 0-5 years
B: 5-10 years
C: Still not diagnosed

To all my amazing patients….if you only knew how inspiring you are. ❤️

You know what gets me out of bed everyday?

My belief that when we are well we can change the world.

I believe this not only for myself but for all of my patients.

Lets face it....our world is hurting. People are hurting. And, as a collective, our health is suffering.

It will be the fearless, passionate, environmental-and-health-conscious humans — who are out of struggle and feeling well — that will lead our world back to health and love.

I'm passionate about helping people who are on a mission to make the world a better place but who feel limited by their health.

Helping my patients achieve health does more than help them feel better everyday. They gain back the energy and passion they need to fulfill their purpose and leave a legacy of love.

That's why I especially love working with change-makers, visionaries, high-performers, entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, healers and game-changers.

You know, the kind of women who don’t just want to feel better but believe they need to be their best so they can live up to their full potential and leave the world better than they found it.

What gets you out of bed everyday?

It's sometimes a hard thing to swallow....

But WE alone are responsible for our experiences.

No one else can heal me, make me feel whole, or take away my struggles.

It's an inside job.

And, if you don't feel like you love yourself enough to do the work then do the work to love yourself.

Do you agree?

Do you know what a HSP is?

I didn’t know until my mid-30’s….when I realized I was a HSP.

A Highly-Sensitive Person.

In short, it means I experience the world in a different way than most.

[It’s estimated that 15% of the population may be HSP’s.]

Some of the challenges of being an HSP:
✨ I feel things deeply…like really deep.

✨ I can pick up on people’s emotions & energies (and it can change the way I feel).

✨ I get easily overwhelmed in highly stimulating environments.

✨ I need a lot of downtime to recharge my batteries.

✨ I get exhausted more easily than most.

✨ I get knocked down easily by criticism or negative feedback.

✨ I cry easily…yes, even at commercials.

But….being a HSP also has its advantages:
❤ I consider myself highly intuitive.

❤ I’m incredibly empathetic.

❤ My heart feels love & connection in a deep way. I live from my heart.

❤ I easily pick up on minute details & subtle changes in the environment.

❤ I’m a great listener and a loyal friend.

❤ I feel deeply connected to nature & feel energized by it.

❤ I FEEL music & am deeply moved by it.

For nearly 4 decades I thought I was just “emotional” & “cared too much”. I didn’t understand why I’d get tired easily, why I had trouble with energetic boundaries, & why I always needed alone time. I thought I need to control my emotions better.

Once I learned some skills to take what felt like a disadvantage into an advantage, I understand now that being an HSP is a gift!

I think it’s one of my unfair advantages as a doctor. And, why I’m able to help many with complicated medical issues.

If you’re curious if you may be a HSP, check out Elaine Aron’s book called: "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You."

Or, there's a great movie that featuring Alanis Morissette, called: "Sensitive".

I'm curious if you've heard that people can be HSP's or if you consider yourself one!

Yep! I’m now licensed in California and can work with California residents via telemedicine.

Are you a high-achieving, heart-centered women with an autoimmune disease or complex “mystery illness”?

Are you interested in a highly personalized connection with your functional medicine doctor who thrives on helping people get to the root causes of complex medical issues?

Do you want to understand the complete picture of your health and have a well-devised strategy -- a roadmap -- that'll help you feel well?

If so, you may be a great fit. Does this sound like you (or someone you love)?

✔ You live in California (or Oregon) and are willing to connect via telemedicine.

✔ You want to work with a functional medicine doctor who specializes in autoimmune disorders and complex illness.

✔ You’ve worked with some good doctors & specialists who have uncovered pieces of the puzzle but nobody’s ever put the whole picture together.

✔ You're open to exploring and healing all of you — mind, body, soul and spirit.

✔ You’re ready to take action and invest in your health because it means you’ll be a better version of yourself.

✔ You’ve adopted a fairly healthy lifestyle and tended to your self-care but you still don’t feel well.

✔ You’re ready to do whatever it takes to get well because you need to be the best version of yourself in order to fulfill your purpose & dreams.

I especially love working with change-makers, visionaries, high-performers, entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, healers and game-changers.

The kind of women who don’t just want to feel better but believe they need to be their best so they can live up to their full potential and leave their legacy in the world.

What would it feel like if your health became an asset? Your unfair advantage? Or, the catalyst toward reaching your limitless potential?

What if you no longer felt limited by how you feel everyday?

Imagine….you wake up daily feeling energized, awake, motivated, and driven to be your best self.

What if your energy allowed you to be more efficient and productive? What if your brain more easily transitioned into those creative spaces necessary for personal and business growth?

You see, I believe….
To truly feel well — so you can fully step into your greatness and live your best life — you need it all. You need to wake up everyday feeling amazing, energized and well — in body, mind, spirit and soul.

It’s my passion to help people who are on a mission to make the world a better place but who feel limited by their health.

I love helping change-makers, visionaries, high-performers, entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, healers and game-changers.

The kind of people that NEED their health to be their unfair advantage so they can share their gifts with the world, achieve all they want to on their to-do list, and leave their legacy.

I also believe…
Our world is hurting and in need of healing and love. It will be the fearless, passionate, environmental-and-health-conscious humans — who are out of struggle and feeling well — that will lead our world back to health and love.

The way I can change the world is by helping others who want to change the world. That’s what motivates me to get out of bed everyday.

Are you ready to transform your health into an asset instead of an obstacle?

If so, lets talk.

Yes. Yes. and Yes!

Are there things you do everyday, no matter what?

These are what I call my “non-negotiables”. They are those things I’ve committed to doing everyday ~ whether I feel like it or not!

Real Talk….

When you don’t feel well it can be really hard to do ANYTHING let alone add things to your daily list of to-do’s.

Overwhelm. Burnout. A busy schedule. No energy. No brain power. And, a down in the dumps mood makes it hard to want to do anything.

BUT….when you want to get well you have to do HARD things sometimes.

And, you have to do EASY things consistently, over time.

You have to make a decision that you will choose to do things that you know will move the needle forward ... even if you don’t see immediate results.

And, that’s really hard sometimes.

A few of my non-negotiables include:
1. Drinking plenty of filtered water
2. Getting outside in the sunshine (or at least, outside, on a cloudy day)
3. Practicing gratitude

Here’s why it matters...especially when it comes to a chronic illness:

💦 WATER: drinking enough helps to detoxify your body by flushing out toxins, reduces inflammation, improves gut health, and boosts energy levels.

🌝 SUNSHINE: Exposing yourself to sunlight can boost your vitamin D levels, reduce inflammation, give your mood a big boost, and help you sleep better at night.

🙏 GRATITUDE: a daily gratitude practice may help you reduce stress, boost your mood, and promote better sleep.

The great thing about these things is they are EASY! Not much effort required but a big payoff over time!

Do you have daily Non-Negotiables? I’d love to know!
