    Nick's first career was a firefighter. He worked both in a largely residential rural fire department and was a contractor for USAP, firefighting in Antarctica.

    Nick was always doing something active, whether that be coaching soccer, playing soccer, hunting, fishing, building things, working in his huge organic garden, raising animals and being a father. He did not like sitting still and loved being productive. Slalom waterskiing was his favorite sport. Living a healthy lifestyle was a point of pride for Nick.

    Nick wanted a challenge so he returned to University to get his doctorate in audiology. With a background in public service and experience working for the government, he chose to take a position with the Department of the Army, as a civilian.   During his physical, he was administered a TDaP as part of his job requirement.  His life was forever changed....

    Dr. Stanton Hom is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He earned a bachelors of science in Chemistry/Life Science/Pre-Medicine and was fortunate enough to be selected for an internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He was afforded the opportunity to witness brain surgery, open-heart surgery, and many other wonders of modern medicine. It was also here that he decided not to pursue medical school.

    After a meritorious career in the military and upon arriving in San Diego in 2005, he had the incredible opportunity to live with his brother, Steve, and become his chiropractic patient. This transformed his life to a point where PTSD, severe digestive problems, chronic pain, and stress became a thing of the past. His own self-healing inspired him to take on a new mission of chiropractic.

    Dr Stan graduated from the Southern California University of Health Sciences, Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 2010 and has since served the San Diego community with excellent chiropractic care. He specializes in the whole family: from preconception through birth, infants, childhood, and beyond. Together, he and his team have built one of the top clinics in Southern California.

    Dr. Jessica Rose is a Canadian researcher with a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Immunology from Memorial University of Newfoundland. She also holds a Ph.D. in Computational Biology from Bar Ilan University and 2 post-doctoral degrees: one in Molecular Biology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and one in Biochemistry from the Technion Institute of Technology. She was also accepted for a 2-month program as a senior researcher at the Weizmann Institute prior to completion of her latest post-doctoral degree at the Technion.

    Dr. Rose also co-authored a paper with Dr. Peter McCullough — in which they found a 19x risk of myocarditis in males aged 12-15 post injections — that was conveniently scrubbed from publication five days before she was set to present the findings to the FDA approval committee for 5- to 11-year-olds.

    Jennifer Jenkins is the owner and founder of Rooted Holistic Health Coaching. She is also a Holistic Registered Nurse, Certified Health Coach, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Weight Management Specialist, Personal Trainer, Certified Holistic Life Coach and Sports Performance Specialist.

    She was inspired to start her own Health Coaching business after going through her own personal healing journey as she had to overcome a multitude of different health ailments after traditional medicine and pharmaceuticals failed her. After several medical mission trips to China, she was inspired to take matters into her own hands. She went on a quest to find answers to get to the root cause of not only her own illness but what so many others are experiencing as well.

    Along this journey not only did she identify the root causes of most diseases we see today including her own, but she has been able to unlock a portal of healing and wellness that led her to be able to heal her body naturally and sustain those results for over 12 years. Her mission is to not only help others who are struggling like she was able to take back control over their own health but to also raise awareness, and help other professionals shift their focus to more preventative medicine so we can minimize sick care and focus on the future of “Health Care”.

    Rooted Holistic Health Coaching offers individual, couple, and group coaching options and works virtually with a wide range of clients across the U.S. Clients range from those that are wanting to improve their overall health & wellness, focus on sustainable weight management strategies or those that want to live a healthier life to reduce their risk factors. Rooted Holistic Health Coaching always offers complimentary discovery calls and they have a new, functional medicine approach to wellness launching later this month.

    Michelle Thomas  - RN , BSN, CCM 
    Michelle has been a registered nurse for 25 years. She practices in the state of NC and holds a multistate license. She has worked in adult medicine both inpatient and outpatient. Within adult medicine, she has worked in medical-surgical, pulmonology, HIV, and geriatrics. She also worked in pediatric primary and urgent care for 7 years and has worked on the insurance side of healthcare for third-party administrators and as a worker's compensation nurse. In most recent years to present, Michelle works full time as the Director of Medical Management for a national healthcare brokerage firm as well as part-time as a telehealth triage nurse triaging patient calls for over four hundred medical practices across eight states.  After years of working on the insurance side, Michelle realized that the industry is one that financially benefits from keeping people sick. It was then that she began to research health, wellness, and disease prevention and began advocating for patients through education.  Education empowers her patients to take control of their own health and find wellness. She has helped coach patients into healthier states free from the need for chronic disease medications. While realizing allopathic medicine has its place, Michelle realizes the body's natural ability to heal itself if given the right framework. She joined American Frontline Nurses after witnessing the mismanagement of covid patients due to hospital protocols resulting in medical negligence, mismanagement, and even gross negligence. She began speaking out and advocating to help get patients home and to keep them out of the hospitals.   To date, she has helped numerous patients survive, recover, and start a journey to a healthier life.
