🥩 Paleo Ex-Vegan Do you have chronic mystery symptoms? We can help.

Have you been doing everything "right" but nothing is working? Can’t get a REAL diagnosis or got a “blanket” diagnosis with no real solutions? We help people with chronic mystery symptoms get their health back & keep it. If you think you are unfixable, that's not true. We customize a naturopathic treatment program personalized for your unique body. NO two programs are alike! We identify and address blocks to healing so the body will respond properly and heal. Most health programs are ongoing and work to manage symptoms with no end in sight. Our program has 3 phases with a beginning, middle, & end. Treat the underlying source of what's causing the imbalance INSTEAD of trying to squash the symptom with a band-aid that won't last. Schedule your consult, exam and body analysis today to find out more. Treat the source, not the symptom!

🧠 MINDSET MONDAY
You won’t magically wake up one day with a clear calendar, more money, less stress, and the perfect window to get your health in order.

There is no “right time.” There’s just the decision to stop waiting.

Life doesn’t get easier.
You get more intentional.

Healing doesn’t fit neatly into your schedule. It disrupts it—because what you were doing before wasn’t working. And the only way out of that cycle is to build something new.

🔁 MINDSET SHIFT:
You don’t need more time—you need more boundaries.
Time doesn’t create healing. Prioritization does.

🛠 ACTION THIS WEEK:
✅ Stop waiting for things to calm down.
→ Real life is always going to be messy. Your health still matters right now.
✅ Reclaim your schedule—one slot at a time.
→ Look at your week and block off time for what actually supports healing: meals, rest, prep, movement.
✅ Ask: Where am I using “busy” as an excuse?
→ Then shift. Don’t try to overhaul. Just pick one thing to make non-negotiable.

✨ REMEMBER:
Healing isn’t for when it’s convenient.
It’s for when it’s essential.
And it becomes possible the moment you stop asking for the perfect time—and start showing up now.

💬 Pick one small shift you can make this week. Share it in the comments—I want to know! Let’s keep each other accountable.

07/19/2025

"My life had turned into a living hell. I would cry every day and just look outside and think "I can't live like this.” I tried almost everything. I literally went to over 20 MDs, 7 specialists, a dietician, 5 functional medicine doctors. No one could help me.

Monica is a master at what she does and she knows how to really help people. I even went to a psychiatrist because the doctors thought it could be "in my head." Even my own mother would say the same thing. Finally, I found Monica on Yelp. I was skeptical in the beginning, because I had gone to so many doctors and other holistic doctors. But I said to myself "I can't give up.

Literally, my whole body was in pain all the time. My head hurt, eyes, joints, muscles, stomach, intestines, bladder, prostate, kidneys, and I could go on. They did tell me I had acid reflux, fibromyalgia, IBS, and Sibo, but taking what they gave me did not help me because those issues were not the root cause. Monica figured out it was my nerves and brain that was causing my widespread pain.

The first week some of my stomach pains started going away, I was a bit shocked. A month went by and I started feeling a little more better. So now I am writing this review and I feel so great! I can work out, DJ, produce music and whatever else I want. I feel like my life is back! She also tells you how to eat, what water to drink and other great information that will help you learn what true health is. I could write more but I will leave you with one last thing. Follow whatever Monica says, if she says jump off a cliff do it. Ok that was joke haha. But seriously, listen to her and do what she says because she really knows how to help people. Remember no one could help me, I thought maybe this was the end for me, that was only until I met Monica.

I really don't know what I would have done without her. I seriously have my life back and it's all because of her. If I ever need help, she is there. She is a gem and I have not found anyone else like her. Listen to what she says and you will get better." -Adrian M

Let’s be real—nutrition today is nothing like it was for our grandparents.

We didn’t grow up with GMOs, food sprayed with banned pesticides, or microwaves that distort the molecular structure of what you’re eating.

Now?
We’re dealing with ultra-processed food, toxic additives, and animal protein raised in conditions SO stressful they literally flood the meat with cortisol—before it ever hits your plate.

These animals are pumped with antibiotics and hormones, kept in cramped, filthy spaces, with no sunlight—and then we’re told to eat that and call it “nutrition.”

Here’s what I want you to understand:
Two steaks can do completely opposite things to your body.

Factory-farmed meat contributes to hormone disruption, immune issues, and long-term dysfunction.

But properly sourced, pasture-raised, grass-fed animal protein?
That’s what heals your body. That’s what regulates your immune system. That’s what your body can recognize, use, and heal with.

This isn’t just about food. It’s about the foundation your health is built on.

🧠 MINDSET MONDAY
You can’t heal a body you’re at war with.

If you’ve been blaming your body…
Criticizing it...
Feeling like it’s working against you…

It’s time for a reality check:
That mindset could be slowing down your healing.

Your body isn’t the enemy. It’s the messenger.

Those frustrating symptoms?
They’re not “bad”—they’re clues.
They’re your body trying to work with you as a team.

💡 MINDSET SHIFT:
❌ “Why is my body doing this to me?”
✅ “What is my body asking for right now?”

Healing isn’t about forcing your body to behave.
It’s about listening—so you can stop chasing symptoms and start Treating the Source.

✨ THIS WEEK:
→ When symptoms flare, pause and ask:
“What’s my body trying to tell me right now?”
“Where have I been overdoing, ignoring, or skipping what I know I need?”

→ Write it down.
Track what comes up. Patterns reveal what lab tests don’t.

🤝 Treat your body like a partner, not a problem.

You don’t have to love where you are.
But you can’t move forward if you stay in blame.

"5 Stars! A+++ Monica has my absolute HIGHEST recommendation.
I've been going to her for the past 3 months and I can't say enough good things about her.

From day 1, the results that I've seen were unbelievable.

She is the absolute BEST at what she does! And if you are serious about your health and want the best treatment you can find.. Look no further.

I've had severe stomach problems, major food allergies, constant drowsiness, fatigue, brain fog, among other fun things.

And could not find anyone out there that could help me. Trust me, I've tried. I've been to several of the top doctors in the US.. flown out to New York City, Seattle, LA, etc..
Spent tens of thousands of dollars to get absolutely nothing.

NO ONE could help me. There was nothing they could do - besides hand me some prescription drugs to help me live with the symptoms..

I had enough. I was tired of blowing through money and KNEW there had to be a better way.. That was when I found MLH Wellness.. and I am SO glad I did.

From the very first moment I walked into the door, I knew she was different. I knew I was in the right place.

The whole atmosphere of the office is so warm and friendly! Monica has an amazing personality that makes you feel so relaxed, comfortable, and treats you like royalty.

She absolutely LOVES what she does.. and it shows! I've never met someone that cares so much for all of her patients as she does.

And her expertise is INSANE. Within 5 minutes she was telling me exactly what alot of my problems and allergies were.. just by looking at me. Unbelievable!

I swear she's got supernatural powers sometimes..

Anyways, the results I've seen so far are out of this world! I got instant relief from alot of my symptoms.. I've had MAJOR improvements sooo fast, with problems that I've been suffering from for years... problems that NO doctor was able to help me with.

I GLADLY drive 3 hours + just to see her. That's how good she is!" -Jarrett S.

Every doctor I went to, I told them:
“By the way—I was raised Vegan. Is that a problem?”
Every single one said the same thing:
“Nutrition doesn’t matter. Eat whatever you want.”

No one knew any better because they are not trained in what food does to your body.
No one asked a single question about what my body actually needed.

Instead, almost every doctor tried to put me on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication. Hard.
Some wouldn’t even keep talking to me if I didn’t agree to it.

Because that was their answer to everything:
“It’s in your head. Stop acting like a psycho.” (that's what it felt like they were saying to me)

I was shamed.
Made to feel like a hysterical female.
Treated like I was exaggerating or being a "drama queen".

Friends dropped off.
People faded away.
And I lost everything that made me who I THOUGHT I was as a person.

I didn’t want to stop being Vegan. I didn't want to start eating animals because I had seen so many videos on the torture they experienced until they were slaughtered for meat in Factory Farms. My father is an Animal Rights Activist.
I didn't realize there was another way. I didn't know that there was something else BESIDES factory farmed meat.
But in the end—it was eat animals or never be able to get my health back and be a person again.

I share this clip from the VIP Q&A from the Refined Event hosted and produced by my friend, because so many people are still hearing:
“Your labs are normal.”
“You’re fine.”
“Just take the meds.”

When their body is screaming for help.

You deserve real answers.
You deserve to know what’s really going on underneath.
And you deserve someone who will actually ask the right questions.

Mark your calendars! I’m speaking at RAADfest 2025 in Las Vegas—sharing a message for anyone who wants to stay strong and healthy for decades to come, before any symptoms ever start!

Getting older DOESN'T have to mean feeling worse, and you CAN live longer and feel stronger by fixing the hidden dysfunction.

Most people start to break down as they age—even when their labs look “normal.” But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’ll be walking through each of these 5 Layers to Illness and teaching you how to proactively:
- What’s actually aging you from the inside out—and HOW TO REVERSE IT
- Why your body shows signs like fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep even without “abnormal” results
- How you can break the cycle of symptoms before they begin
- How toxins, food choices, and nervous system interference quietly chip away at you

If you want to feel healthy, sharp, and resilient for years to come—this is for you!

📍Las Vegas | July 10–13
🎤 10th Annual RAADfest
🧬 Hosted by Coalition for Radical Life Extension

Register now at raadfest.com and I’ll see you there.!

Healing isn’t something you check off a list.
It’s not a 30-day plan or a one-time detox protocol.

It’s a way of living that protects your energy, your nervous system, and your body’s ability to function—day in, day out.
Once you feel better, that’s not the time to relax your habits. That’s the time to protect what’s working.

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being consistent—especially when life gets messy.

Whether you’re just starting or you’re deep into this path, the strategy stays the same:
✅ Eat food that rebuilds and protects
✅ Avoid what disrupts or inflames
✅ Move regularly
✅ Prioritize rest
✅ Catch old patterns before they take over

Feeling good is the starting point—not the finish line.

"Monica (Treat the Source) has truly changed my life! It's as though she has the owner's manual for the body that apparently most of us lost at birth. And it's the updated version that accounts for all the modern day toxins. She gets the body working like it's supposed to.

With all the toxins we are now dealing with... our bodies forget how to work properly. That's when everything goes haywire and our bodies start having major symptoms. Monica is the interpreter for the body when you can't figure out what the hell is wrong with you!

I suffered with major hormone, gut and autoimmune issues for 13 years. I went to every top doctor and natural health practitioner with high hopes, only to be repeatedly let down. I've done every test out there and spent a small fortune trying to get answers. I took handfuls of supplements a day. Nothing worked!! I knew there was something simple they just couldn't figure out.

I started doing my own research to figure it out myself. I knew our bodies weren't designed to just crap out at a certain age and we would be forced to take meds, hormones and supplements forever. I knew there was a natural way. I listened to every podcast and read countless books trying to find the answers.

That's when I heard Monica on a podcast with Monica mentioned that the body can be blocked or switched and no matter what you do, you can't fix it. I knew that was my problem. My body seemed to do the opposite of what is was supposed to do. And taking the wrong supplements can actually cause more problems.

I was sold when I heard Monica's program is designed with an end game. I've never heard that from any practitioner. I expected to be on handfuls of supplements and endless appointments for the rest of my life. Monica's program trains your body to work properly again and then you are done! You might need a couple of maintenance supplements to keep your body balanced. I literally take 3 a day now!

I feel amazing! If you are done chasing the answer, go see Monica. But, go all in. Do exactly what she tells you and it will change your life too!" -Sandy H.

Let’s get one thing straight:
You’re not healing if you’re only resting when your body crashes.

Scrolling on the couch isn’t rest.
Lying in bed replaying your to-do list isn’t rest.
That’s your nervous system shutting down because it’s out of options.

Real rest is intentional. It’s quiet.
It’s what your body needs to repair your gut, balance your hormones, and regulate your immune system.
But it only works if you give your body the chance to actually do that work.

So this week—block off real rest like it’s a meeting. Set that timer for meditation, unplug that wifi router if it’s close to your bedroom, and switch off your phone and put it far away from you!
Because if you wait until your body forces you to stop, it’s already too late.

Let’s talk about the choline deficiency no one caught—until it nearly wrecked me.

I was born and raised Vegan. That means my organs developed without the foundational building blocks found in animal protein. And that changes everything.

When I started a “detox” program years ago, I didn’t know it was going to trigger a full-body crash.

They gave me lots of supplements to take to stimulate detox including high doses of niacin. But no one asked the most important question:
❗ What does niacin do to choline?
It depletes it.

Choline is what your body needs for Phase 2 liver function. It helps break down fats and actually eliminate the garbage your body has bagged up.
Phase 1 = bag the trash
Phase 2 = take the trash out

But if you can’t finish Phase 2? That toxic trash goes right back into your body.

👉 A Vegan body is already low in choline.
👉 Niacin depletes choline further.
👉 And without enough choline, you’ll never complete detox, you can't digest properly, and your nervous system crashes causing heart palps and sleep issues.

I didn’t just stall my healing—I got worse.

This is why you have to understand your unique body before following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
It’s not about the detox program or all the trendy diets people are doing.
It’s about what YOUR body needs, and what your body can and can’t do with what you’re giving it.

Throwback to my interview with Ben Greenfield

📌 If you’ve ever felt worse on a detox program, this could be why.

💬 Have you ever felt worse on a “cleanse” or detox? COMMENT BELOW.👇

When you start eating differently, protecting your energy, and actually prioritizing your healing—people will notice. And not all of them will support it.

Your old identity is going to try to pull you back.
And sometimes, so will the people around you.

They’ll question you.
They’ll push you.
They’ll make passive comments about how “different” you are.

But their discomfort doesn’t mean you’re off track. It means you’re doing something they’re not ready to do.

You’re not here to make it easier for them.
You’re here to stop repeating what gave you symptoms in the first place.

Protect your progress. Hold the line. You’re allowed to change.

Empowering undiagnosed people to take their health back into their own hands since 2009. It's not in your head. Just because your labs are normal doesn't mean your not sick!
