As a physician and a patient, I am a passionate advocate for individuals living with autoimmune diseases. My journey began in 2001 when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a life-altering experience that transformed not only my career but also my outlook on life.

After earning my degree and practicing in OB/GYN, my career took an unexpected turn as my MS symptoms progressed. In 2009, I made the difficult decision to retire due to severe facial pain from trigeminal nerve inflammation, despite having tried numerous therapies and surgeries with no sustained relief.

In the depths of my despair, afraid for my future and yearning for relief, I found hope in an unlikely place—the internet. It was there I first discovered alternative therapies that focused on dietary changes and acupuncture, approaches I once viewed skeptically because of how I had been taught in medical school. Embracing an anti-inflammatory diet and treatments aimed at restoring mitochondrial health was a leap of faith that reignited my optimism.

To my amazement, these changes led to significant improvement—within three weeks, I noticed a reduction in the frequency and intensity of my pain. Three months later, I began reducing my medication and felt liberated from the debilitating pain that once dictated my life. It was the greatest gift I could receive: the gift of health and living without pain.

This personal transformation from patient to healer has fueled my passion to support others battling autoimmune challenges. Drawing from my experiences as both physician and patient, I am dedicated to sharing insights into holistic healing and offering hope to those in need.
