PERSONAL JOURNEY

I went through decades of chronic illness:
- wrenching gut symptoms since grade school,
- malaria several times,
- chronic bronchitis during 2 years in Africa
- strange skin infections,
- autoimmune flares…
- and then, hormonal roller coasters.

I mostly pushed through by sheer will power. But by my late 30’s I was aged beyond my years, and finally I could barely get out of bed. Some days I dragged myself up to get something to eat, then crawled back to bed.

As cortisol bottomed out, I experienced zero sex drive (a big challenge for my wonderful partner at the time), depression, anxiety…

I slept through important engagements due to sheer exhaustion. I had a medical degree but I didn’t have the energy to take on the rigors of medical residency. I didn’t know how I would support myself. Relationships with loved ones waned.


I was very blessed to find true healing, and got the answers I needed to reverse my early aging and illness. I am now more vibrant and youthful at age 50 than I was decades ago! (See the video below: me at age 49, teaching African dance to students 30 years younger!)

By regenerating my health down to my very cells, I have reversed or avoided even the genetic conditions that plague my relatives, including cancers, heart disease and diabetes. And my autoimmune issues? I now know the keys that turn them on and off!

What I learned:

The only way to truly heal ANY of your symptoms is to address ALL of you as a whole, and transform your health entirely!
