Hello!

I am excited you are here!

introduction

I am a Health and Wellness Coach that completely loves working with others to assist them with gaining better overall health. We have all had times where we knew that something was not right with our health only to have our Western medicine doctors tell us we are fine. It is completely frustrating!! You know your body best!!

I will work with you to educate you on what needs to be done to obtain optimal overall health through nutrition, vitamins, minerals, supplements, physical fitness, and labwork that will pin point certain medical issues. I will then draft you a program that will have you feeling better!!

I love utilizing herbal medicine to treat conditions and also to prevent illnesses. Our Grandparents used plant based medicine which worked amazingly well. I truly believe we need to get back to all things natural!

About Me..

I began my journey into alternative medicine after my sister was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma. I was so very fortunate to be with her the last two weeks of her life where she informed me that there are other treatments and cures for cancers in other countries but are not allowed in the U.S. She was a pharmacist for over 20 years and actually said to me, “my profession killed me.” I was devastated to hear her say that. I asked her why she felt that way. She told me about big pharmaceutical companies, their owners/CEO’s/Presidents, and how those power players are the ones working with the FDA. These other treatments or cures would take money out of big pharma pockets!! She became a pharmacist so she could help people get better and found that once she became a patient herself how “the system” works. It is not for the betterment of the patient but rather the wallets of big pharmaceutical companies who run the FDA. I was disgusted!

Naturally this life event had me asking myself a lot of questions. I kept coming back to alternative treatments or more natural treatments for illnesses. My sisters passing had me looking at my childhood, my Grandparents and Great Grandparents. What did my parents do for me when I was sick or injured? What did my Grandparents and Great Grandparents do when they became sick or injured? Why did we move away from their modalities? I remember stepping on a bee when I was about 5 years old. My Mother crushed and wet tobacco and applied it to my bee sting. Instantly, the pain was gone, and I healed quickly. Later I had an extremely sore throat. My Grandmother told me to gargle with warm salt water. It instantly made it feel so much better. When I had a tooth pulled and the gum would not stop bleeding, my Grandmother dampened a tea bag and told me to bite on it to stop the bleeding. This too worked fabulously. My Grandparents and Great Grandparents ate plenty of fruits and vegetables, took supplements daily, and did not start having significant health issues until in their late 60’s or early 70’s. So why did we get away from natural medicine and over to pharmaceuticals? I now want to go back to basic health modalities of nutrition, vitamins, minerals, herbals, and physical movement to assist others with gaining optimal health. The "old" ways worked before and they still work today.

Exercise & Stretching

Some of us are exercise enthusiasts while others of us dreed it. Whether you are young and love exercise or a little more mature and simply want to be able to continue to do your daily activities, I will do a comprehensive evaluation of your current physical conditioning, determine your goals, and draft a plan to help you achieve those goals that will keep you functioning at the level you want.

Remember if you do not use it, you lose it!!

A Life Saving Service.... Biomarker Lab Tests!!

yourlabwork.com/prototalbodyhealth

I have teamed up with Yourlabwork to provide you lab tests that DO NOT require a doctors order putting YOU in the drivers seat of your health!

I participated in the certification program and can now assist you with ordering the labs that pertain to you. I can read the results to make nutritional, vitamin, mineral and herbal geared to assist you in gaining optimal health!

I am NOT a physician and do recommend sharing your results with your doctor. I will happily work with your doctor as part of your wellness team!

Some tests that doctors DO NOT regularly run are:

Lipoprotein A which lets you know your genetic presidpostion to cholesterol issues.

Free T3 testing which a lot of doctors do not order for your active thyroid hormone!

These are just two of many that YOU can order regarding the 5 Pillars of health.

Herbal Medicine

Western Medicine & Foods

Did you know that there are certain foods that you CANNOT eat when taking certain western prescriptions? Did your doctor tell you this? Example, if you have a thyroid problem, you can not eat or drink regular soy!! It will make the thyroid and medication not work!!

Fermented soy products are safe for those who have a thyroid issue but I bet your doctor never told you that.

I will look at what medications you are taking now, your diet, and let you know what you need to stop eating in order to make the medication optimally effective!

Herbal Supplements for Disease Treatment!

Galangal Root &

Turmeric For Inflammation AND CANCER!!!

Fighting cancer is a battle! Help your body to fight more efficiently. If you have a family history of cancer, a cancer survivor, or are currently battling cancer, there are two impressive weapons that you should look into. They are Galangal Root and Turmeric. These two herbal supplements have the ability to wipe out cancer cells which is very impressive!

What is Galangal Root and Its Effect On Cancer Cells?

Galangal root has been utilized in Southeast Asian cooking and medicine for many years. Galangal root has three compounds, beta-sitosterol, galanga, and emodin that are powerful cancer fighters!

Studies Have Shown:

Beta-Sitosterol – has been shown to decrease cancer cell growth by 24%, brought about programmed cell death four times over in prostate cancer cells(1)

Galangin – Is shown to kill colon cancer cells within the colon. (2)

In a study from Thailand, galangal was shown to be effective with various forms of throat cancer. (4) It has also proven to reduce certain bacteria growth in the gut that has been connected with gastrointestinal cancers. (5) Galangal also provokes cells to get rid of carcinogens!!! This is fabulous because if you have a family history of cancer, you can take Galangal root and help your cells to get rid of the carcinogens! This root can literally assist you on a cellular level!! If you are concerned about cancer in general, taking Galanga can assist your body with reducing the possibility of getting the cancers listed in this article. There are even studies that show the Galanga root can kill breast and lung cancer cells. (6,7)

Emodin – increased immunity and represses tumors.(3)

What is Turmeric Root and How Does It Treat Cancer?

Curcumin is a powerhouse that is found in Turmeric Root. This root is utilized in India to treat many things. We here in America are informed on its ability to fight inflammation especially on a cellular level.

Curcumin laser focuses on a number of different factors that lead to the formation of cancer within the body.

Curcumin has the ability to:

-Trigger cellular death within breast cancer cells

-Ability to destroy cancer-cell mitochondria but will leave healthy cells alone

-Works with stopping replication of cancer cells

-Can prevent damage to DNA

-Home in on cancer stem cells that is the beginning of the formation of tumors and malignancies

What Do Both Galanga Root and Turmeric Offer?

We have all heard about the importance of utilizing antioxidants to rid our bodies of free radicals that are dangerous to our health. BOTH Galanga Root and Turmeric have a large number of antioxidants! We have also heard a lot regarding inflammation in the body and what that can do to your health. BOTH Galanga Root and Turmeric are amazing at reducing inflammation which is one of the main causes of chronic disease and cancer.

So, Why Don’t Oncologists Recommend These To Their Patients?

Simple, these two herbal supplements are very affordable and recommending patients take these instead of the “real” cure would take a lot of money out of their wallets! These two herbal supplements are so affordable and easily available.

What Should You Make Sure These Supplements Contain to Ensure You Are Getting The Best Bang For Your Buck and Health?

With Turmeric it is very important that it also contains black pepper extract. On the bottle it will say piperine which is the black pepper extract. Black pepper assists with increasing the body’s ability to absorb the curcumin by as much as 2000%! You will also want your Turmeric to have 90% curcuminoids.
