I was recently asked to present a case history for the medical journal Naturopathic Doctor News & Review (NDNR). This case is a great reminder that in both medicine and life, we must first trust our intuition—then confirm it with facts before making important decisions.

I’m honored to share this piece with you. You can read the full article here: https://ndnr.com/pediatrics/clinical-intuition-root-cause-case/

A teen’s unexplained rib fractures led to a hidden tumor—revealed only through clinical intuition and persistence. A powerful call for root-cause medicine.

🧬 “DNA is not your destiny.”
That’s something I say often—and it came up in my latest interview on The Luminist Podcast with Justin Butcher.

So many people tell me, “I’d be healthier, but I’m just genetically cursed.”
The truth? Your genes are only the blueprint. What really drives your health is how you live.

Your food, stress, sleep, mindset, relationships—all of it can turn genes on or off. That’s the science of epigenetics, and it gives you back your power.

Privileged to share insights at Consumer Health Summit with the brightest minds in wellness innovation! 💡

The tide is turning—people are finally recognizing the legitimacy of our industry. But with this opportunity comes responsibility. We must back our claims with solid research.

At Prove It Research, we're bridging the affordability gap for clinical studies that companies need. I'm especially grateful for our exceptional board members who joined from last year's summit.

Remember: R&D tax credits can help fund the studies your company needs. Now's our moment to prove what we know works through transparency and science-backed evidence.

The world is watching. Let's deliver.
