Holly Ladd is a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has her own healing story from scleroderma.

She believes her autoimmune set up was a combination of heavy air pollution, growing up in LA in the 1970s; then experiencing the stress of career mismatch; and finally having a mercury filling removed by a conventional dentist. Once she started experiencing severe symptoms of skin hardening, pain, and stiffness, she sought solutions.

Fortunately, she found Dr. Mark Hyman’s book, The UltraMind Solution and thus began her journey to Dr. Hyman’s office, The UltraWellness Center and an unrelenting quest to uncover her root causes and address them head on. Today Holly is free of symptoms and the scleroderma diagnosis and she coaches people around the world from her home in Bend, OR.
