I’m so excited to introduce you to my new book, Kicking Sick. It chronicles my journey from chronic illness to glowing health. Today I help women of all ages live well regardless of their health situation.

With honesty, humor, and empathy, Kicking Sick shows us all how to jettison despair and become a “glow warrior”—someone who tunes in to her body and inner wisdom, takes charge, and builds a support circle of medical experts, friends, and family.

Kicking Sick also brings in my own A-team of experts crucial to my own turnaround: my personal physician Mark Hyman, gastroenterologist Gerald Mullin, endocrinologist Philip Felig, inspiring Crazy Sexy Cancer author Kris Carr, new thought leader Gabby Bernstein, and renowned yogi Elena Brower, as well as many real-life glow warriors to inspire us.

My Story

So why me? Well, to put it simply, I’ve been there. At 14, back pain incapacitated me. At 25, a perfect storm of health issues cropped up after a trip abroad – thyroid disorder, celiac disease, parasite infections and a severe gastric motility disorder of the colon. At 35, after decades of advocating for myself, I finally got the correct diagnosis of Late Stage Nueorlogical Lyme Disease and Co-infections. I’ve learned how to manage my condition and live life full speed ahead.

Chronic Health Conditions – from Celiac Disease to major parasite infections to a hypothyroid condition – triggered a need to identify the underlying problems that were screwing with my system. So I embarked on an intense journey through doctors’ offices, medical clinics, IV labs, fancy specialists offices and assorted spiritual communities. It was a huge wake up call. Did every doctor, healer, specialist and guru have my best interests in mind? Some did – some didn’t, but they all took an incredible amount of energy and resources to sort through

All of these experiences – the trials, the errors, the successes and the failures – were a major turning point. I realized that just because the latest health trend or exclusive specialist worked for some, it didn’t necessarily work for me. I learned how crucial it is to focus on my needs first and surround myself with a team of professionals best suited for me. I realized I had to start questioning even the most established “professionals,” putting the right team together, and finding out what my individual needs really were, and putting them first.

I became an active participant in my own health and got more involved, educated and invested in the healing process. It wasn’t long before my interest in health and wellness evolved into a true passion, and I ultimately became a Certified Health + Wellness Coach, and Patient Advocate. I regularly speak to live audiences, media and podcasts about my journey. No one should be defined by an illness or condition, or have to suffer down the same long road that I did – and that means you!

I realized the only way I was going to recover was to become an active participant in my own well-being.

I was able to help myself, and I am confident I will be able to help you.

I deeply believe in the power of self-care and it is my mission to teach you how to truly take care of yourself. Now I listen to my inner guide, make everyday a chance to move for fitness and emotional well being, eat right for nourishment and pleasure, and connect with people who feed my spirit. And I want to show you how to do the same. So I invite you to come along, be well, – and thrive with me!
