Her passion is to help those who have tried everything and nothing has worked.In 1979, I made a life changing decision. Having suffered with severe abdominal pain since the age of 2, I decided to find a solution. Since conventional medicine did not have any answers for me, I spent years studying natural medicine until I was able to come up with the answers. Do you feel like no one has truly understood your pain or taken the time to find the answers for you? I can relate because I have experienced it. What I love most in life is to discover the underlying cause of symptoms and create a plan to bring about relief. I have found the inflammation from undiagnosed allergies, imbalanced gut bacteria, improper diet and nutritional deficiencies is the root of almost all health problems. Once properly diagnosed and addressed, most patients find relief from their misery and frustration and can once again enjoy life.
