This is all related to their ability to learn, to grow and to become healthy adults.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Healing the body and brain is an essential missing piece of addiction recovery. I was blessed to have survived the number one cause of death in the US and it\u2019s because I healed my body. I want to change how the mainstream views and treats addiction.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I want to be there for the biggest moments in people\u2019s lives and provide support and courage.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We are on the cutting edge of a new frontier into preventing and reversing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/a-functional-nutrition-approach-to-neurodegenerative-diseases\/\">cognitive decline<\/a> and making great leaps in healthy aging overall!!!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I worked as a doctor and was frustrated with the limitations <\/em>in<em> the system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I can see most people around me disconnected from their bodies and their needs, and how they are leading their children on the same path. Children&#8217;s diets and lifestyles are particularly concerning to me and I want to influence parents and schools.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Why do you have a strong desire to help people get better?<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a lot of information out there, whether nutritional, herbal, etc. Patients need someone who can communicate it all. This healer has distilled it all through his\/her own education, clinical training and experience.<\/span><\/i><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our family\u2019s healing journey was a long one. I have learned so much along the way and know that healing is possible. I want to be part of helping people not just survive, but live!<\/span><\/i><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help people find a peace of mind and not feel like they have done something wrong or it is their fault they are sick.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m watching severe overmedication and under-treated conditions due to symptom diagnosis and not root cause resolution. It angers me to watch this happening; including in my own family.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimal health is a birth right that everyone deserves.<\/span><\/i><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems to me that suffering is often linked to misinformation which can be corrected with education and empathy.<\/span><\/i><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When one person gets better- it opens the possibility of a better world.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great health isn&#8217;t always simple, but it can be much simpler than what many understand. I want to empower people to feel the best they can and tap into their own wisdom from that place.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>What\u2019s your vision of a healthcare system that works?<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><em>I am a strong believer in empowering people to become advocates for their own health.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>People are taught the tools to <\/em>maintaining<em> optimal health, and are not simply told to \u201cjust do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Empowering people with knowledge of how to heal themselves has been the most gratifying thing I have ever experienced.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Practitioners working together for the greater good of the one who is needing the help and education.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Society becomes healthier in mind, body, spirit, and from that place evolves the life on Earth!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Totally holistic: mind, body, spirit.

Being a role model holds me accountable and fires me up in taking care of myself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I just love the work, I want to make people more aware of the options that are available to them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I have found through my personal struggle, that health is my passion.
