In this episode, we have Melissa Talwar. Melissa is a National Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach trained at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. She is also a Wahls Protocol Certified Professional, and ReCODE Coach (Bredesen Protocol).

Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at the age of 14, Melissa spent over 20 years declining in the medical system with no hope of improving. She was cyclically bed bound, with severe pain, brain fog, fatigue, and stomach issues.

In 2016, she found health again through biohacking, Functional Medicine, and books by Dave Asprey, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Terry Wahls, and Dr. Ben Lynch. She figured out her personal 36 variable formula that helped get her brain back, decrease pain, and made laundry possible again. Melissa had to do this on her own, but through health coaching you can have someone as your guide.

In this episode, we have Patricia Cosulich. Patricia was diagnosed and has been dealing with Lyme disease for quite some time, but is now pain-free and has regained so much of what she lost after years of being sick. 

Although she considers herself not 100% recovered, she is in so much of a better place and has actually created a play, based on chronic illness, called The Great Imitator. It is designed to change the way we view healing, build community, mobilize advocacy, and fundraise through storytelling. The play is inspired by her lived experience and a series of interviews with patients, doctors, loved ones, and advocates.

In this episode, we have Dr. Jessica Peatross. Dr. Jessica has a passion for uncovering the mystery behind the chronic illness, whether that be stealth infections, heavy metals, stress, trauma or other environmental toxicities. She is visionary for the future of healthcare and left her position as a board-certified, internal medicine hospitalist to pursue Functional Medicine in order to better serve her patients. By getting to the real, root cause answers for why the body might be malfunctioning. 

Her philosophy embraces that health encompasses the whole patient – mind, body, and spirit – and Dr. Jess has become one of the most-sought after Functional Medicine Leaders. She is known for her ability to help identify the root cause of illness, most oftenly traced back to hidden, stealth infections like Lyme, parasites and mold, Dr. Jess’s area of expertise. 

Dr. Jess left her hospitalist position and became trained in Gerson Therapy, Functional Medicine, Nutrigenomics, and Ozone Therapy and quickly uncovered that 90% of disease is a result of lifestyle, diet, and environment as well as discovered that the body has all the answers to heal and reverse chronic disease.

#ChronicIllness #Moldtoxicity #LymeDisease

In this episode we have James Wilson. James has dealt with chronic illness from a young age, being diagnosed with chronic fatigue at nine years old. He spent much of his time being bed bound and was even in a wheelchair. After making a full recovery, he was able to get back to a normal life, going to university and playing tennis at a high level—only for his health issues to return in his 20s and therefore having to face a new set of challenges as an adult this time.

As he worked on his own recovery, he delved deep into the mind-body connection which actually has led him to becoming an NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist & Life Coach.  

He was fortunate enough to be trained by Lightning Process creator Phil Parker alongside an incredible variety of medical and holistic wellbeing practitioners, GPs, academics, creatives and coaches, who have all experienced the power of NLP and the mind-body connection in their own lives.

In this episode, we have Vanessa Bighinatti. Vanessa struggled for years with Chronic Lyme Disease, Bartonella, POTS, EBV, SIBO & Leaky Gut, Chronic Fatigue & Pain, and Parasites.
At 24 years old, she was bound to a cane, at rock bottom, and thought she was missing out on the most important years of her life. After abandoning pastas, breads and cheeses, she realized how much food has an effect on her symptoms. This diet shift, though drastic, gave her hope for remission and changed her life. Now, Vanessa is happy to say she is in remission from most of these symptoms. She continues to heal each and every day, becoming more herself through nutrition and a holistic lifestyle. 

Where she once saw her illness as a curse, she can now find gratitude for the path on which it’s taken her--to  becoming a certified holistic health coach! Vanessa is so inspired to help others find their own way and is happy to be able to guide others on their own unique journey, emotionally and physically, because healing is a lifestyle.
