    Guest Bio:

    Dr. Jess is a former hospitalist, internal medicine based medical doctor and a certified Gerson Practitioner. She is an expert in the areas of stealth infections, environmental toxicity, regenerative medicine, ozone, and cannabis. Her passion lies in uncovering the mystery behind the chronic illness, whether that be stealth infections, heavy metals, stress/trauma or other environmental toxicities. There are real, root cause answers for WHY the body might be malfunctioning.

    Trained in medicine at the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess experienced what many of her patients experienced: deep anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and adrenal dysfunction. She sought answers to uncover the root cause of disease – something she thought she had learned in medical school.

    After working as an M.D. in a hospital for 6 years, Dr. Jess realized that she needed to investigate alternatives to today's modern medical industry, which "treats every ill with a pill." She became trained in Gerson Therapy, functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and ozone in her efforts to help her patients with chronic disease solutions. She now is an expert in the field of Lyme, parasites and the health hazards of mold. She is an international keynote speaker with her own former line of Dr Jess products.

    Recently Dr. Jess made the choice not to continue her board certification with the AMA as she no longer practices pharmaceutical-based medicine and is able to get to the root cause TO HEAL people without the need for narcotics, immunosuppressants, antidepressants, antibiotics, or steroids.
